Sources close to the situation said Jordan Matthews suffered a hand ligament injury three weeks ago that supposedly has resolved, as the Eagles' wide receiver has labored with dropped passes.
Left tackle Jason Peters' dramatic exit from Sunday's loss with back spasms looked more ominous than it was; a source said Peters should be OK when the team returns from the bye to play Dallas.
Fans who said on social media that they met Matthews at a recent appearance said his hand was swollen and he did not shake hands. Asked about a hand injury after the Carolina loss, Matthews hesitated, then denied an injury.
