Doug Pederson talked about preparing for the Titans multi-faceted offense and more in his press conference on Friday morning

Jay Ajayi is good to go despite fractured back Youth Corey Clement Jersey , says Doug Pederson The Eagles head coach is still fielding a lot of questions about injuries to key players, but the team is welcoming running back Jay Ajayi to the field on Sunday despite his back injury. Here’s what Pederson had to say:On Titans prepJay Ajayi is officially back for the Eagles on Sunday after rehabbing a fractured back. Pederson admitted, “it sounds bad,” and he even had that same injury during his time as a player, and it’s a go-as-tolerated type injury.“He’s a tough kid and he’s battled through it, and he’s really felt fine.”Pederson was asked about facing a quarterback who can do so much offensively, whether it’s the zone read or wildcat situations, and he talked about it being a unique style but the Eagles’ defense is used to facing that type of multi-faceted offense in practice. He also pointed out it’s all about discipline for the defense, making sure they review the film and training their eyes to make the right reads.The head coach was then asked about Nelson Agholor’s performance over the first three games of the season, and Pederson noted he’s been playing well and real consistent. On top of that Cheap Dallas Goedert Jersey , he’s stepped up and taken on a much bigger load with injuries to Alshon Jeffery and Mike Wallace.Carson Wentz earlier in the week said that he has a target goal of 70% completion rate, but Pederson admitted that’s a bit lofty, but if he’s at high-60’s the team is happy.Pederson was also asked about whether they pay attention to the defense allowing more points on the road, and their overall away game production. The head coach acknowledged that of course they do, and they even talk about how to handle their road games during training camp.He continued to talk about how there are so many extra tiny distractions that come along with playing on the road. They have friends and family members in the hotels, different coaches pulling them in multiple directions, and so there’s a lot more to be focused on as they prepare for an away game.On injuriesOut of respect for Rodney McLeod, Pederson wouldn’t comment on the severity of the injury and the team still isn’t sure if they will end up putting the safety on IR or if he’ll even be out the whole season. It’s too early to tell.The head coach also wouldn’t really go into what they were going to do to make up for the loss of McLeod roster-wise, but Pederson has been working with defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz this week to make sure they are covered. “We’ve got a plan and we’re comfortable with what we’ve got.” (But, he also said they are looking for anyone outside that could add depth.)Alshon Jeffery was medically cleared earlier this week but missed practice on Thursday due to an illness. Pederson said the wide receiver isn’t really feeling much better Cheap Alshon Jeffery Jersey , and that after speaking with team doctors, they say the virus is about a 24-48 hours deal.Pederson did say that they had seen enough from Jeffery on Wednesday, and then have some time on Saturday — with a late departure — to determine whether he’ll be able to play on Sunday.He said that the team has tested Darren Sproles this week, and he’s not quite there yet in terms of getting back out there on game day, but he’s getting close with his hamstring issue.Doug Pederson explains why Eagles signed Jordan Matthews Eagles head coach Doug Pederson has been in a much better mood this week, and whether it’s because he doesn’t have to field a dozen question about Carson Wentz’s return, or because he has his QB back in the first place, let’s just say the coach is smiling wider these days.The team is back at practice on Wednesday and there’s a lot of work to be done to not only get Wentz ready for his first game of the season, but to figure out what they are going to do with a banged up group of receivers and running backs.Pederson spoke to the media ahead of taking the field to talk Colts prep and injury concerns moving forward.On Carson Wentz’s returnPederson was asked about Wentz’s preparation and the head coach talked about being excited to see how he’s progressed with this offseason’s work.He also talked about the QB’s eventual first hit, and noted that “I hope it’s not a hard one” but that it gives confidence to the player who has been out for awhile. Having to get back up and see that you are ok goes a long way in getting back into the swing of things.On Jordan Matthews coming backDoug Pederson didn’t want to get into too many specifics about how Jordan Matthews will be used now that he’s been re-signed. He did say that Matthews “looked good in the workout Youth Brandon Graham Jersey , he’s healthy” and that they team is excited to get him back.The head coach said they didn’t see any lingering hamstring issues during Matthew’s workout yesterday and the medical team didn’t have any concerns.Pederson wouldn’t really talk about whether they’d put Matthews on the inside or outside, and said it’s challenging to give an answer since they so often move the guys around. He talked about Nelson Agholor being a big part of the offense in both spots, and has done a great job blocking in the run game too, so moving him around has been beneficial.He also talked about Matthews’ familiarity with the coaching staff, offense, and quarterback — especially with the receiver only being gone one season. It’s just a matter of catching him up and getting him ready to go for Sunday.Wentz had no impact on bringing Matthews back, but Pederson did say their friendship is a huge deal. He also lauded his leadership skills in the locker room and during practice.On Colts prepPederson said he’s excited to see Frank Reich again this weekend, and he’s aware of some of the advantages the former Eagles OC might have on Sunday. He noted however, that those advantages work both ways, and that they are seeing some familiar looks from the Colts’ offense http://www.eaglescheapauthenticstore.com/zach-ertz-jersey-cheap , and their DC came from Dallas, so there’s some familiarity there too.Pederson also talked a little about Andrew Luck, calling him an exciting quarterback to watch, and someone who looks like he’s getting stronger each week.Injury updates Jay Ajayi is day-to-day and they will see where he’s at near the end of the week.Darren Sproles is also day-to-day, but is a bit of a longer situation than Ajayi.Alshon Jeffery is back to 11-on-11 this week which is a big first step.Mike Wallace isn’t for sure done for the season, but is definitely week-to-week.
