Wide Receiver Injuries
Carson Wentz passed for over 4000 yards in 2019 but no receivers went over 500 yards. Let that sink in. No receiver managed to make it past 500 yards on the year and yet, the QB still managed over 4000 yards. While that’s a testament to Wentz, it also speaks volumes of the Philadelphia Eagles’ receivers.
The season started with such great hope with the addition of DeSean Jackson. The pairing with him, Alshon Jeffery, and Nelson Agholor had placed the Eagles’ receivers as one of the best in the NFL heading into the 2019-20 season. But just three weeks in, they hit hard times. Jackson was lost for the year, Jeffery went down and so did Agholor. The Eagles were forced to rely on unknown and unproven players and for the most part, it worked. But what if they had their core together the entire season?
