There aren’t too many things guaranteed in the NFL. However, it seems like you can always bank on veteran wide receiver Jordan Matthews returning to the Philadelphia Eagles at this point. The Eagles needed help at wide receiver moving forward, that’s no secret.
With DeSean Jackson undergoing surgery for his torn abdomen, the Birds had no choice but to put him on the Injured Reserve. That move would free up a roster spot in Philly and made the under-performing wide receivers unit thinner than it already was.
Therefore, a move to acquire a wideout was inevitable for the Eagles.
