Jordan Matthews

Eagles WR Jordan Matthews (knee) returns to practice

Jordan Matthews is on track for Week 1.

The Philadelphia Eagles' No. 1 receiver has insisted he'll be back by the regular season opener, despite sitting out all of preseason due to a knee injury.

On Monday, Matthews will return to the practice field, coach Doug Pederson said.

Fantasy Impact: 

Matthews becomes even more key now that the Eagles cut veteran WRs Chris Givens and Rueben Randle. It looks like Nelson Agholor with get his chance on the outside leaving Josh Huff and Dorial Green-Beckham for the other outside spot.

Good luck trying to get Paul Turner to talk about himself.

Not just with the media. With his teammates, too.

“He’ll make a big play, he’ll act like it didn’t even happen,” Jordan Matthews said with a laugh. “He just goes right back to the huddle.”

Turner, a quiet, humble undrafted rookie wide receiver from Louisiana Tech, has been opening eyes both in practice and in the preseason games with his playmaking ability.

In an underachieving wide receiver group, he’s really stood out.

Fantasy Impact: 

It’s rare for undrafted rookie wideouts to make the Eagles’ roster. Rarer still for them to contribute. Exceptions are Hank Baskett and Greg Lewis, the latter of whom is now Turner’s position coach. The Eagles WRs haven't been all that great in camp so there's a chance Turner could make the team, but it's still hard to imagine he'd pass guys like Nelson Agholor or Rueben Randle for a significant fantasy role.

Eagles WR Jordan Matthews says he'll be ready for Week 1

After Jordan Matthews went down in practice a couple of weeks ago with a knee injury and Zach Ertz had to be tested for a concussion, the tight end expressed his frustration about how the Eagles’ rookies were hitting during practice.

But Matthews said today, in his first media availability since his injury, he’s not upset with Jalen Mills’ low hit and he'll be ready Week 1.

“I’m not the type to get mad. Getting upset or anything isn’t going to help my knee get any better,” Matthews said. “Right after it happened, Jalen came up to me and was like, ‘Yo bro, I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize.’ I just looked at him and was like, ‘It’s cool, bro. I’m fine.’ I’m just not the type to get pissed off about that. It’s football."

Fantasy Impact: 

It’s unclear when Matthews will return and if he’ll play in the preseason, but he said he’ll “for sure” be good to go for the regular season. The 24-year-old, who played through a painful hand injury last season, added that the Eagles’ two preseason games are the only games he’s missed in his entire life since he began playing sports.

Eagles Beat: Paul Turner has been the 'best' Eagles receiver this preseason

Reuben Frank of CSN Philly:

Paul Turner has been the Eagles’ second-best wide receiver this preseason, the best if you consider that Jordan Matthews has been out a couple weeks. Turner has done what you hoped Nelson Agholor and Josh Huff would do. Make plays. Flash. His highlight-reel one-hander from Chase Daniel for 23 yards to set up a touchdown in the third quarter is the kind of play we’ve been waiting to see Agholor make. Turner is an undrafted rookie free agent from Louisiana Tech, and Agholor is a second-year first-round pick, but Turner is flashing in a way that Agholor hasn’t. This team is desperate for wide receivers. So far, one guy is making plays. Not only does Turner deserve to make the team, he’s quickly showing that he deserves to play.

Fantasy Impact: 

Turner may be worth a look late in drafts. The Eagles are hurting at receiver and the new regime isn't going to show favoritism to Agholor if someone else is outplaying him.
