Wide receiver, Nelson Agholor, and linebacker, Kiko Alonso, were full participants in practice Tuesday, and said both are primed to return Sunday when the Eagles play the Cowboys in Dallas.
Alonso, who suffered a knee injury during the first Cowboys game, said today, “It felt good, I feel good. I’ll do more the rest of the week.”
Alonso was unwavering in his quick response when asked if he would play this Sunday. “For sure,” he said. “That’s the goal. That’s the ultimate goal.”
Since the injury, once it was found to not be as serious as initially thought, the target date was always the Cowboys’ game, right after the bye.
“That was the plan. It’s no fun to miss that much time,” Alonso continued. “I’m anxious to get back out there. Hopefully I won’t miss a beat.” Alonso also appears not to have plans on wearing a brace on his knee, saying he feels comfortable without wearing it.
Kiko Alonso said that he expects to play Sunday vs. the Cowboys. Did everything at practice today. #Eagles
