There was some confusion and debate as to why the Philadelphia Eagles bothered signing Miles Austin in the first place.
From the organization's perspective, Austin was once a proven, credible No. 1 wide receiver in the NFL, something the Eagles' roster lacked. Cynics only saw millions of dollars wasted on a 31-year-old, injury-prone player whose last productive season was in 2012.
So far, the cynics are right.
| GM | TA | REC | YDS | TD |
| Wk 1 @ ATL | 3 | 2 | 22 | 0 |
| Wk 2 v DAL | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Wk 3 @ NYJ | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Wk 4 @ WAS | 3 | 2 | 51 | 1 |
| Wk 5 v NO | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Wk 6 v NYG | 3 | 3 | 60 | 0 |
| Wk 7 @ CAR | 6 | 4 | 52 | 0 |
| Wk 8 @ DAL | 3 | 1 | 27 | 0 |
| Wk 9 v MIA | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Not only has Austin failed to produce for the Eagles, he's been more of a detriment than anything else.
