PITTSBURGH – After wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham was acquired by the Eagles in a trade on Tuesday, head coach Doug Pederson said the tall wideout wouldn’t play in Thursday’s game in Pittsburgh.
But after a change of heart, Pederson sent the former second-round pick into the fray of game action, just two days after the trade with the Tennessee Titans.
"My decision was to let him play and just see what he could do and just coach him up on a couple of routes and a couple plays in there," Pederson said. "We had a chance to give him a throw in the end zone, just a little bit underthrown, but I think it was a good start for him to get his feet wet.
