Philadelphia Eagles: Why isn’t JJ Arcega-Whiteside playing?

The last time we really saw Philadelphia Eagles’ second-round rookie JJ Arcega-Whiteside take the field was during the Week 3 loss against the Detroit Lions. As we know, that’s the game where Arcega-Whiteside had his infamous last-minute drop on fourth and long, which would’ve set the Eagles up on the one-yard line — or even better — put them in the end zone right there.

That didn’t happen, though. And since Arcega-Whiteside’s mishap, he hasn’t really seen the field. Here we are, six weeks into the season, and the highly-drafted rookie out of Stanford has collected a whopping two catches for 14 yards.
