Eagles’ makeshift receiving corps has a unique opportunity

Alshon Jeffery has been sent to IR today with a Lisfranc injury. This in itself is disappointing and depending on the extent of the injury, could well be one that lingers into the depths of the 2020 season. The more immediate takeaway, however, is that although the group is depleted, there is a silver lining.

As things stand, the Eagles are likely going to be without their starting trio of wide receivers. 2019 has been nothing short of disappointing for anyone lining up outside, and in any other situation, losing your #WR1 to a season-ending injury would put the nail in the coffin.
