FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — This was going to be a night to shine for some of the wideouts trying to make the Eagles’ roster, with Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor, Mack Hollins and Markus Wheaton all sitting out last night’s preseason game against the New England Patriots.
Veteran Mike Wallace, sharp in training camp, was set to make his Eagles debut. Offensive coordinator Mike Groh spoke this week of how Wallace was “settling in and finding a comfort zone. The quarterbacks are starting to find where he’s at and read his body language.”
Kamar Aiken, a late-arriving vet, has made some plays in practice, maybe he could open some eyes under the Gillette Stadium lights.
