Eagles WR Jordan Matthews out vs. Bengals; Nelson Agholor in the lineup

CINCINNATI -- Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews is out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, and Nelson Agholor returns to the lineup after last week's benching.

The other inactives are running back Ryan Mathews (knee), right tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai (knee), defensive end Steven Means, defensive tackle Taylor Hart, and reserve offensive linemen Josh Andrews and Dillon Gordon.

Matthews, who has a sprained ankle, was questionable for the game. There was optimism last week that he would be able to play, and he returned to the practice field Thursday. Matthews was sore after that session and missed practice Friday, a bad sign about the progress of his recovery.
