The Eagles are preparing to be without WR Mike Wallace (ankle) for “a while,” sources tell me and Tom Pelissero.

It's another hit to the Eagles WRs who are also without Jeffery. Agholor looks like he'll remain the top target while most of the other targets will go to TEs and RBs.

There’s certainly reason to be concerned about Alshon Jeffery. He told Jen Vrentas of Sports Illustrated after the game Thursday night: “Some days I feel great, and some days ... a shoulder injury is pretty tough,” adding that he’s still a few weeks away from getting back on the field.

The Eagles know they need help at the position. They recently signed Miller to the practice squad but reports say he could get a shot sooner than later. Agholor is the team's top WR but only had a line of 8-33-0 as Nick Foles and the offense struggled in Week 1. Carter played 53 snaps but only caught one pass last week.

Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins was held out of the session with a groin injury, but said, via Jeff McLane of Philly.com, that he expects to be good to go for Thursday’s game against the Falcons.

Alshon Jeffery is eligible to practice with the team after being activated from the physically unable to perform list over the weekend, but he’s not ready to do so yet.

Jeffery is a big loss for what is likely a couple of games. Agholor and Wallace should get a lot of targets as the Eagles top-two WRs. Expect the Birds to probably use two TE sets with Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert, as well as RBs Darren Sproles and Corey Clement getting in the passing game as well.

The hardest spot to fill on the roster? The No. 5 receiver position behind Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Chris Hogan and rookie Malcolm Mitchell.

A case can be made for Keshawn Martin (who signed a contract extension in January), Aaron Dobson (who is healthy), Chris Harper or DeAndre Carter. Or even Nate Washington.

The author didn't really say his opinion on who could emerge in that spot, but did say Carter and Harper can be placed on the practice squad while Dobson and Martin cannot. The author did say Carter is in the Edelman/Amendola mold which could provide some insurance since both are currently hurt.
