Eagles Inactives

Ryan Mathews is active for Monday night. The Giants are solid against the run but Mathews should be in store for his normal workload along with DeMarco Murray and Darren Sproles. The Birds are expected to try and take advantage of the Giants depleted secondary, however.

Odell Beckham didn't practice this week but is listed as questionable so his status is in doubt for Week 6. The team says he's coming along, however, and indications this week have been he's got a chance to play, but it's a situation to monitor especially since Beckham didn't practice. Rueben Randle is listed as probable so he could be a nice backup option for Beckham owners who are planning to wait it out. For the Eagles, Nelson Agholor is out. Agholor plays on a lot of snaps so it's a chance for Riley Cooper and Miles Austin to get more chances. Ryan Mathews is also questionable and that could be good news for owners of DeMarco Murray and Darren Sproles who would see more time if Mathews is limited our unable to play.

Eagles wideout Nelson Agholor said he will have an MRI on his injured left leg Monday after leaving Sunday’s 39-17 win over the Saints early.

Agholor said the lower-leg injury isn’t to his ankle, but instead is “muscle related.” After leaving the game, trainers tried to loosen up his leg muscles but they remained tight.

Although there’s no diagnosis, the first-round pick doesn’t think the injury is severe. He said he wanted to come back in Sunday’s game but team doctors held him out.

Agholor said he hopes to be able to practice this week, but we can't always trust a player's word about his own injury. The good news is it wasn't his ankle so it's possible he has a quick return for Week 6.

Despite his first round draft status, it would have been a stretch to expect Nelson Agholor to make a splash in his first NFL appearance. The fact that he started and played 59 snaps - second only to Jordan Matthews' 63 - was a bit of a surprise.

But the extra playing time was likely because Kelly called for more passing than running plays. Matthews will be on the field either way. But Agholor and Miles Austin will likely be featured more on passing downs and the better-blocking Riley Cooper and Josh Huff on running downs.

Agholor played 80 percent of the snaps and was only targeted twice, catching one pass for five yards. Agholor is bound to have some good games, but he's not off to a good start, production-wise.

Chip Kelly: Nelson Agholor did a very nice job in the preseason games. He picked things up really quickly. Expect to make instant impact.

Agholor joins a receiving corps that has lost its best receiver (DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin) in each of the past two offseasons. As last year's WR2, Jordan Matthews finished as the #25 WR in PPR formats. Riley Cooper finished as the #31 receiver as the team's WR2 in 2013. Agholor is poised to finish in that range or better in his rookie season.

Eagles WR Nelson Agholor took all of the first-team repetitions at Josh Huff’s usual outside wide-receiver spot.

The rookie had gotten first-team looks before, but not this many.

This was just a matter of time, many felt, before Agholor was running with the first team. Agholor is expected to get one of the outside spots while Jordan Matthews sees a lot of time in the slot. That leaves the other outside position for either Riley Copper, Huff or Miles Austin.
