Eagles' Nelson Agholor: Back in the mix

Agholor is planned to return to the Eagles' wide receiver mix this Sunday against the Bengals.

Analysis:

Agholor was a healthy scratch for Philadelphia's Monday night loss to clear his head after recent struggles, and although that was always thought to be a one-game deal, top target Jordan Matthews' (ankle) questionable status makes Agholor's return more urgent for this weekend. Even though it's hard to project how involved Agholor will be following his inactive stint, the Eagles' underwhelming receiving corps doesn't seem to present a tough road back to relevancy. That said, the 2015 first-rounder has caught just 27 passes on 51 targets for 264 yards and one score this season, so it's probably best to keep expectations of Agholor low until he proves otherwise.
