JORDAN MATTHEWS' left knee has been a nagging issue ever since then-rookie cornerback Jalen Mills slammed his helmet into it on a tackle early in 2016's training camp.
Matthews missed the entire preseason with what a source close to the situation called a bone bruise, but went on to catch 73 passes for 804 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games. This spring, Matthews sat out a lot of spring work, including this week's minicamp, with tendinitis in the knee.
Matthews said Thursday that he expects to be fine for training camp, and will venture to North Dakota in a few weeks when Carson Wentz gathers his receivers to run routes and rob the Pony Express, or whatever one does for fun in North Dakota.
