Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews has been ruled inactive Week 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals. After suffering an ankle injury the previous week, Matthews will officially miss his first career game, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. With the Eagles struggling as of late, Matthews’ absence from the field will definitely make the offense adjust its game plan against the equally struggling Bengals. Looking to keep their playoff hopes alive, Matthews’ production will have to be made up by other pass catchers like Nelson Agholor and Dorial Green-Beckham.
