Agholor, the 2015 first-round draft pick from the University of Southern California,Cheap NFL Jerseys, suffered a leg injury when the Eagles beat the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 11. He missed Monday's win over the New York Giants.
"Cooper is a big target down the field for us," Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford said. "He has a good feel for those backside throws. I like throwing it out there to him."
Cooper suffered a knee injury in that win over the Giants, although he did return to the game.
"There is a little bit of a change and getting used to it again, but it's kind of like riding a bike. So I'll be fine."
"We were thin a little bit for a little while at receiver," Kelly said about Monday night's game. "But Jordan can play any position for us, outside receiver, left side, right side, or inside."
Matthews, who played outside for most of his college career at Vanderbilt,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, says he has no problem leaving the slot for a wide post.

Now, I'm getting some opportunities to go back outside,NFL Jerseys From China, so I'm back in that comfort zone I had when I got here.
"(Agholor) is doing things with Shaun (Huls,Wholesale Jerseys, the director of sports science) and he's coming along," Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. "I don't know, really, what his status will be this weekend. It's kind of up in the air. But he's progressing and working hard at it."
