Richard Rodgers has been the best tight end on the Eagles roster this season, telling you everything you need to know about what’s taking place.

Offensive Line:

67 snaps: Jason Peters
67 snaps: Sua Opeta
67 snaps: Jason Kelce
67 snaps: Matt Pryor
67 snaps: Lane Johnson

1 snap: Jack Driscoll

Isaac Seumalo returned to practice but apparently was ready for game action. Nate Herbig was sidelined with a finger injury and the Eagles were forced to start Sua Opeta at left guard and he struggled. The Eagles can’t play Jordan Mailata unless Peters moves to guard and the Eagles won’t put their best five on the field until that happens.

Defensive Line:

56 snaps: Fletcher Cox

46 snaps: Derek Barnett

46 snaps: Brandon Graham

36 snaps: Malik Jackson

35 snaps: Javon Hargrave

25 snaps: Josh Sweat

25 snaps: Vinny Curry

16 snaps: T.Y. McGill

The Eagles’ defensive line combined for three sacks, but they were dominated in the running game by a Giants offensive line that has struggled for the bulk of the 2020 season.

Linebacker:

71 snaps: Alex Singleton

53 snaps: T.J. Edwards

51 snaps: Duke Riley

5 snaps: Shaun Bradley

3 snaps: Davion Taylor

Singleton and Edwards combined for 28 tackles, but a lot of those plays took place after positive yards were gained. After having his praises sung all week, T.J. Edwards lost snaps to Alex Singleton.

Defensive Back:

71 snaps: Rodney McLeod

69 snaps: Jalen Mills

69 snaps: Darius Slay

64 snaps: Avonte Maddox

17 snaps: Nickell Robey-Coleman

16 snaps: Cre’Von LeBlanc

6 snaps: Will Parks

1 snap: K’Von Wallace

The Eagles have a cornerback problem again Darius Slay is only one man, meaning the opposing team’s 2nd and 3rd wide receivers will continue to feast. Avonte Maddox and Nickell Robey-Coleman have struggled in coverage and Michael Jacquet could be an option moving forward.

5 ways Alshon Jeffery can help open up the Eagles offense in his return

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to get Alshon Jeffery back at wide receiver and although it’s unknown just how much the veteran will play, he offers value and versatility in a multitude of different functions.

With Jeffery officially active against the New York Giants, here are five ways the wideout can help open up the Eagles offense on Sunday and going forward.

Doug Pederson says the Eagles ‘have a plan’ for Alshon Jeffery’s return

Doug Pederson says the Eagles ‘have a plan’ for Alshon Jeffery

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to get Alshon Jeffery back and yet there still seems to be some mystery surrounding his return and when he’ll return. During his Friday zoom press conference, head coach Doug Pederson was vague on whether Jeffery would play against the Giants and then made it clear that “he had a plan” for Alshon’s return.

Jeffery hasn’t played since Week 10 of the 2019 season and he’ll be looking to make his 2020 debut after dealing with a foot and calf issue.

Pederson said it will “take some time” before Jeffery is up to full speed as a result of his extended layoff.

The Eagles are expected to get Miles Sanders back as well.

With Alshon Jeffery set to return, the Philadelphia Eagles will have to figure

[jwplayer TW8jX6Xn]

The Philadelphia Eagles are getting one of their top weapons back and they look to pair him with Jalen Reagor and Travis Fulgham.

Alshon Jeffery looks primed to play his first game since November 2019 and the Eagles will have to figure out how to integrate an elite red-zone weapon who has battled injuries into a group of young wideouts who’ve been carrying the offense this season.

If everything goes well, the Eagles could have a top-10 wide receiving corps with Jeffery, Fulgham, Reagor, and Greg Ward. If the reps and targets aren’t spread out properly, there’s a possibility for implosion within the Eagles locker room.

The man responsible for keeping everyone happy addressed the elephant in the room as Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium approaches.

“I think that’s a great question and that’s something we’re going to keep exploring as we go,” Carson Wentz said per NBC Sports Philadelphia. “For one, I don’t make the decisions at the end of the day on those things, but I think as he continues to work back in and everything, we kind of see where he’s at, see where he’s at within our offense and how we can use him and mix him in with these other guys, and it is a fine line and there’s really no right or wrong answer there. But at the end of the day, the guys that are gonna help us win are the guys that are gonna be on the field.”

Jeffery, who hasn’t played a single snap this season, was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and was among those practicing fully on Thursday as well.

Jeffery has been out but on the 53 man roster while recovering from a foot surgery he underwent over the offseason. The injury ended his 2019 season after just 10 games but he’s one of Wentz’s biggest weapons when available.

Since 2017, Jeffery has amassed 165 catches for 2,122 yards and 19 touchdowns in 39 regular-season games with the Eagles. It’s still unclear how he’ll fit alongside Travis Fulgham and Jalen Reagor, but his return bodes well for Philadelphia’s offensive production if Press Taylor and Doug Pederson can get creative with the weapons.

What the Eagles can’t allow is for Jeffery’s return to diminish any of Fulgham’s targets and Carson Wentz must stay diligent in keeping the breakout star and Jalen Reagor on their upward trajectory while mixing Jeffery back into the offense.

Eagles WR Jalen Reagor confirms that Alshon Jeffery is set to return vs. the Giants

During his Thursday zoom meeting, seemed to confirm that Alshon Jeffery would be returning for the Eagles saying that Philadelphia is getting a great player back

[jwplayer JW3IHPqY]

Alshon Jeffery has returned to Eagles practice, but it’s currently unknown if Philadelphia’s star wide receiver will be available on Sunday against the Giants. There’s been no official confirmation on Jeffery and he’s been close twice in the past three weeks but other ailments held him back.

During his Thursday zoom meeting with the media, rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor spoke on Jeffery playing the role of ‘uncle’ and ‘mentor’ this season. During his statement, Reagor appeared to confirm that Jeffery would be making his season debut.

Jeffery adds another dimension to the Eagles offense and he really clicks with Carson Wentz when the big play is needed.

In their last 11 full games together, the Eagles are 8-3, with Jeffery catching 55 balls for 610 yards and five touchdowns. Wentz has completed 66% of passes to Jeffery, for 240 yards, 20 touchdowns to four interceptions, and a passer rating of 100.4.
