Yes, Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews is dropping a bunch of passes.
But at least there seems to be an excuse.
According to Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News, Matthews suffered a hand ligament injury three weeks ago, though it was thought to be resolved.
It didn’t appear to be last night, as he was chief among the ball-droppers that helped make Sam Bradford look shabby, requiring a vote of confidence from his coach.
Matthews dropped a pair of passes against the Panthers, and has six for the season.
The former second-rounder has had a disappointing sophomore season, but if he’s not well, it helps explain some of the problems with the Eagles’ passing game.
