Existing Injury Concerns

  • Jason Kelce, C
  • Earl Wolff, SS
  • Mychal Kendricks, ILB
  • Josh Huff, WR
  • Evan Mathis, G
  • Jason Peters, T

Not only has Kelly brought in a significant amount of risk, but his carryover roster showcases some as well.

Starting center Jason Kelce missed four games last season due to sports-hernia surgery. In 2012 he missed all but two games. So, right now he’s batting .500 (two out of four) as it relates to playing full seasons.

Mix his potential issues with the concerning fact that the left side of the line is extremely long in the tooth and Philadelphia could have a massive disaster on their hands.

Aside from missing out on the entire 2012 season, left tackle Jason Peters has been relatively healthy his entire career. He is currently 33-years old, however, and playing at such a high level for so long must worry even the most optimistic Eagles fan.

Evan Mathis is also 33 and coming off a season which only saw him play in nine games due to health.

Sprinkle in the fact that Earl Wolff went through knee surgery towards the end of the year and the 2015 Eagles pre-Kelly moves were already an injured bunch.
