Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson Leave Game as Eagles Low on Targets for Carson Wentz
By Mark Powell
The Eagles offense hasn't had an ideal start to their Sunday Night Football showdown against the Atlanta Falcons, although the home team has yet to take advantage of such inefficiency early on.
Carson Wentz, for his part, was also seen grabbing at his ribs, but any fears over such a predicament appear to have been premature. Instead, it's several of Wentz's favorite targets in Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson and Dallas Goedart who are questionable to return to the game.

With Jeffery and Jackson out of the game, much of the passing success will fall upon Zach Ertz and Nelson Agholor, at least for the time being.
Wentz, however, has been surprisingly turnover-prone in the ATL, and they'll surely need more magic out of him to make up for the lack of separation on the outside.

After a come-from-behind effort against the Washington Redskins in Week 1, the Eagles are already facing a deficit. Do they have anything left in the tank despite being shorthanded?
