Chris Long – Noteworthy
DE Chris Long had his first multi-sack game since joining the Eagles in 2017. The veteran defensive end had one sack coming into Sunday’s game, but collected two against Jacksonville quarterback Blake Bortles.
Jalen Mills – Noteworthy – Injury
CB Jalen Mills and RT Lane Johnson both left in the first half and did not return against the Jaguars. Coach Doug Pederson said the team flight did not get back from London in time for him to meet with the medical staff. Reports are that Johnson suffered an MCL strain in his left knee and could miss up to a month. Mills appeared to suffer a foot injury.
Jordan Hicks – Noteworthy
LB Jordan Hicks has played every single defensive snap this season, a year after having his season cut short in October last year with a torn Achilles. He had 12 tackles on Sunday, two off his career high, while tying his career high with 1.5 sacks. The output gives him 67 tackles for the season and moved him ahead of safety Malcolm Jenkins for the team lead this year in tackles.
Jordan Matthews – Noteworthy
WR Jordan Matthews, in his second stint with the Eagles, had his best day yet, catching four passes for 93 yards. He had two of the Eagles’ six plays over 20 yards, with a 36-yard reception and a 31-yard catch that came on third-and-14. Matthews, who was drafted in the second round by the Eagles in 2014 but had stints with Buffalo and New England in the past year, was signed as a free agent in Week 3 to add depth after the Eagles were struck by injury at the position.
Josh Adams – Noteworthy
RB Josh Adams had the wraps come off Sunday, with the undrafted rookie free agent from Notre Dame playing a season-high 18 snaps. When he was on the field, the Eagles usually involved him in the offense. He had nine carries for 61 yards and caught one pass for another six yards. Exactly how long the wraps stay off in head coach Doug Pederson’s running-back-by-committee approach remains to be seen.
Lane Johnson – Noteworthy – Injury
RT Lane Johnson and CB Jalen Mills both left in the first half and did not return against the Jaguars. Coach Doug Pederson said the team flight did not get back from London in time for him to meet with the medical staff. Reports are that Johnson suffered an MCL strain in his left knee and could miss up to a month. Mills appeared to suffer a foot injury.
