Alshon Jeffery had about as many passes thrown his way on Thursday night as he did the previous two weeks of training camp – at least during Eagles team drills.
Carson Wentz, who said earlier this week that Jeffery playing in the preseason seemed like “a long time coming,” went to the wide receiver on five of his nine pass attempts against the Bills. Only two were caught as the Eagles quarterback forced a few.
But Wentz was clearly looking to establish a rhythm with Jeffery, who he has practiced with little in camp and who he may have only one more opportunity to throw to before the preseason ends.
