The Sunday morning injury reports are coming in, and not many surprises, but some gloomy news for those hoping to start a few big-name wideouts. Most notably, Jordan Matthews and DeVante Parker are expected to sit, and Marvin Jones is unlikely to play.
Matthews has an ankle injury and isn't expected to play. A plus for Dorial Green-Beckham, who looks like the No. 1 for the Eagles this week. Nelson Agholor is expected to be active and serve as the No. 2; of course, that was his status for most of the season, to little effect.
Aaron Rodgers is also expected to play through a hamstring injury. Not much doubt about him, but maybe he runs less than he did last week.
Julian Edelman, Martellus Bennett and Chris Hogan are all expected to play through their questionable tags.
DeVante Parker is expected to sit for Miami, a boost to Jarvis Landry and Kenny Stills. Leonte Carroo should be the No. 3.
Marvin Jones is going to test his hamstring in pregame warmups, but nobody expects him to play against the Saints. Should mean more targets for the healthy players: Golden Tate, Anquan Boldin, Eric Ebron.
Mark Ingram is expected to play through a toe injury, a negative for Tim Hightower.
