Special Teams Fails the Eagles (Again)
With the game tied at 17 in the fourth quarter Mat McBriar set up to punt.
The Eagles had 13 minutes and 52 seconds to decide what the conversation would be in this city Monday morning. Would people be talking about a 4-5 team that was just one game back of the Giants in the loss column? Or a 3-6 team that had lost five in a row and would be searching for a new coach in the coming weeks?
Bobby April’s special-teams unit provided the answer.
Nate Allen Sidelined At Practice; Sproles To Miss Game
Safety Nate Allen was sidelined for Friday’s practice with a hamstring injury.
Wearing just a jersey and baseball cap, Allen looked on as the rest of the team worked under the bubble at the NovaCare Complex Friday afternoon.
This is a concerning development for the Eagles, who lack quality safety depth. Allen exited in the fourth quarter against Detroit with a hamstring injury a couple weeks back and it cost the defense. Colt Anderson, a quality special teams player but unproven at safety, replaced Allen and the unit suffered for it. If Allen can’t go, either Anderson or David Sims would replace him.

Cox Ejection, Allen Injury Come Back To Sting Eagles
The Eagles were without two of their key defenders down the stretch and it cost them.
Jeremy Maclin Returns To Practice
Jeremy Maclin returned to the practice field Thursday and was listed as a limited participant after sitting Wednesday out.
The receiver was knocked out of the Ravens game with a hip pointer. He originally sustained the hip injury against the Browns in Week 1. Maclin said he was in a good deal of pain following Sunday’s game but has been making progress.
With Maclin returning, King Dunlap was the only member of the Eagles sidelined for Thursday’s practice. Dunlap is dealing with a hamstring strain and it’s considered a stretch to think he will be ready play against the Cardinals. Demetress Bell will likely get the start at left tackle in his place.
Colt Anderson (knee) did not practice Wednesday but was back as a full participant. DeSean Jackson (hamstring) was full-go as well after being limited the day before.
Making Sense of the Eagles’ Inactives
The Eagles announced inactives, and both DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin will play against the Ravens.
