Eagles' Leodis McKelvin: Week 5 return expected

McKelvin (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 5 against the Lions, according to Eagles coach Doug Pederson.

Analysis:

McKelvin has missed Philadelphia's past two games due to a hamstring injury picked up in the team's season-opener, but should be back in action following the Eagles' Week 4 bye. If that indeed transpires, McKelvin would figure to reclaim his top cornerback position, which would represent an added boost to coordinator Jim Schwartz's current fourth-ranked total defense.
