The Philadelphia Eagles expect to have rookie
wide receiver Jalen Reagor available to play Sunday night for
the first time in a month, as multiple media outlets reported
Thursday that he was cleared to play.
Reagor sustained torn thumb ligaments in Week 2 and was expected
to be sidelined for six or seven weeks, but he returned to
practice this week and has participated without incident.
Barring a setback, he might even be in the starting lineup
against the visiting Dallas Cowboys.
Reagor, who was drafted 21st overall in the first round, the
fourth wide receiver selected, caught five passes for 96 yards
in the first two games, including a 55-yard reception.
The Eagles also activated tight end Dallas Goedert for practice,
but he is not as far along and is not expected to play Sunday.
Goedert is returning from a high ankle sprain and a small tibia
fracture.
