Eagles down to just three healthy wide receivers

The Philadelphia Eagles waived DeAndre Carter in order to make room for Josh Adams on the 53-man roster Wendell Smallwood Jerseys Stitched , according to an official announcement from the team on Tuesday afternoon. Carter’s absence means the Eagles are currently down to just THREE healthy wide receivers for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts: Nelson Agholor, Kamar Aiken, and Shelton Gibson.Yikes.Alshon Jeffery returned to practice last week Paul Worrilow Jerseys Stitched , which was a positive sign, but it seems like he’s not going to be ready for the Colts game. To this point, he still hasn’t participated in 11-on-11 Youth Zach Ertz Jerseys , and Doug Pederson said he’s still “week-to-week” which is worse than “day-to-day.” Mike Wallace certainly won’t be able to play this week considering he suffered a fractured fibula. The Eagles have yet to place him on injured reserve. It’s a bummer to see Carter go because the 25-year-old had a real nice training camp and preseason with Philadelphia. He only managed one reception for 10 yards in the first two games of the regular season, however.The Eagles can’t be seriously considering going into this week’s game with only three receivers. They’re going to have add somebody through trade or free agency. Right? On that front, it’s worth noting that Corey Coleman will be a free agent if he clears waivers. Philadelphia was set to bring the 2016 first-round pick in for a workout last week before he signed with the Patriots. I’d also keep an eye on Jeremy Maclin considering the Eagles had interest in signing him last year at a time when they were much less desperate for receiver help. Stay tuned for more roster updates. JMac is calling it a career."Former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin is retiring from the National Football League. Maclin announced his decision among friends on Sunday:Maclin Zach Ertz Jerseys Stitched , who turns 31 in May, hasn’t played in an NFL game since the 2017 season. He drew some interest from the Eagles last season but ultimately suffered an injury that stifled his comeback attempt. Including playoff stats, Maclin finishes his NFL career with 531 receptions for 7 Youth Carson Wentz Jerseys ,134 yards and 50 touchdowns. He played for three teams: the Philadelphia Eagles (2009 through 2014), the Kansas City Chiefs (2015 through 2016), and the Baltimore Ravens (2017). I remember when the Eagles traded up to select Maclin with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. It was exciting to see him fall within Philly’s range. He ended up having a pretty good career Carson Wentz Jerseys Stitched , including one Pro Bowl appearance in 2014. Here’s wishing Maclin the best in retirement.In other news, Maclin’s retirement announcement was kind of overshadowed by an even bigger one: Rob Gronkowski’s. The former New England Patriots star is calling it a career at age 29. There’s a stronger case to be made now that Zach Ertz is the best tight end in the league.
