Philadelphia Eagles player notes for Dec 24th, 2018


Alshon Jeffery – Noteworthy
WR Alshon Jeffery finished the game with 82 receiving yards, including a season-long 52-yard reception in the third quarter. Jeffery is the first Eagle to record 50-plus-yard receptions in back-to-back games since Jeremy Maclin on Oct. 26, 2014 and Nov. 2, 2014, and it is the first time Jeffery has accomplished the feat in his career.

Chris Long – Noteworthy
DE Chris Long finished the game with a team-leading, season-high 2.0 sacks to bring his season total to 6.5, which are his most since 2013 with St. Louis (8.5).

Darren Sproles – Noteworthy
RB Darren Sproles on Sunday produced his most receiving yards (76) in a single game since Sept. 25, 2016 vs. Pittsburgh (128 yards). Sproles caught a 37-yard TD pass from Nick Foles on fourth-and-2 that gave the Eagles a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. It was the longest receiving TD by an Eagle on fourth down since Brian Dawkins’ 57-yard TD catch on a fake punt (thrown by Brian Mitchell) on Sept. 29, 2002 vs. Houston.

Fletcher Cox – Noteworthy
DT Fletcher Cox now has 10 career fumble recoveries, which are tied for the 4th-most in Eagles all-time history, behind Mike Jarmoluk (12, 1949-55), Reggie White (11, 1985-92) and Vic Sears (11, 1941-53).

Mike Wallace – Important – Injury – Transaction
WR Mike Wallace was activate from injured reserve on Monday. Wallace broke his fibula in Week Two. He signed a one-year contract in the offseason and has yet to record a catch for his new team. Wallace becomes the second player to be activated from IR this season, joining tight end Richard Rodgers, who was activated on Nov. 16 and had his first catch of the season against the Texans on Sunday.

Mike Wallace – Important – Injury – Transaction
WR Mike Wallace was designated for return from reserve/injured by the Monday (Dec. 24). He was immediately activated.

Nelson Agholor – Important
WR Nelson Agholor led the Eagles with a season-high 116 yards Sunday, which marked the second-highest single-game total of his NFL career (141 yards on Dec. 3, 2017 at Seattle). Agholor caught an 83-yard TD pass from Nick Foles in the third quarter that gave the Eagles a 23-16 lead. The score marked the longest TD reception of both Agholor’s and Foles’ careers and was the longest passing TD by an Eagle since Michael Vick hooked up with DeSean Jackson for a 91-yard TD on Dec. 12, 2010 at Dallas.
