The addition of Jordan Matthews should be the first domino to fall in the process of “rebuilding” the Eagles’ wide receiver corps. While the Birds are still in the hunt for playoff contention this season, they need to subtly focus on the offseason as well.
The team came into the season with high expectations due to the addition of DeSean Jackson and for good reason. Jackson started the season with a bang after catching 8 passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns but would miss the next seven weeks after picking up a core muscle injury. After playing in just 4 snaps against the Chicago Bears, Jackson ripped that muscle from the Bone and had to undergo surgery.
