Eagles Down Two Receivers for Thursday Night
Alshon Jeffery and Mack Hollins were ruled out today by Doug Pederson.
Jeffery is returning from shoulder surgery and Hollins had a minor setback in his recovery from a groin injury, which means Nick Foles will be throwing to these guys instead:
- WR1: Mike Wallace
- slot: Nelson Agholor
- WR2: Shelton Gibson
The Eagles have DeAndre Carter further down the depth chart and Markus Wheaton was re-added to the roster today while Richard Rodgers was moved to injured reserve:

Gibson will get snaps on Thursday night but I’d honestly expect to see a lot Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert in lieu of that three receiver look.
