Philadelphia Eagles player notes for Sep 25th, 2018

Darren Sproles – Noteworthy – Injury
RB Darren Spoles is considered day to day with a hamstring injury, coach Doug Pederson said on Monday. Sproles could be ready to play Sunday when the Eagles visit the Tennessee Titans.

Jalen Mills – Noteworthy
CB Jalen Mills surrendered 51 yards on pass interference calls — with one of those infractions putting the Colts on the Philadelphia 15-yard-line and led to their only touchdown of the game. Mills, who was drafted in the seventh round out of LSU in 2016, is in his second season as a full-time starter. The two penalties were glaring, but Mills did record five solid tackles to prevent big gains and register a pair of pass break ups. “Jalen has actually been playing extremely well,” coach Doug Pederson said. “The flags (Sunday), obviously, he has to get his off hand — he has a right or left hand going for the ball — and the off hand is in a position where he’s hooking. He has to be cognizant of that, aware of that, and try to get it off, but he’s always in position. It seems like he’s right there to make a play. He’s physical, he’s tough, he can come up and make tackles. He’s been solid quite honestly.”

Jay Ajayi – Noteworthy – Injury
RB Jay Ajayi is considered day to day with a back injury, coach Doug Pederson said Monday. Ajayi could be ready to play Sunday when the Eagles visit the Tennessee Titans.
