Nelson Agholor is taking his step backward Monday night, but will he be able to rebound and take the necessary steps forward like Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said last week.
Agholor will be inactive for the Eagles’ showdown against the Green Bay Packers tonight and Paul Turner will dress, according to WIP’s Howard Eskin.

The second-year wideout opened up about his poor play and continuous mistakes following last Sunday’s 26-15 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and stated that he’s in his own head.

The comments led Pederson to changing his approach on Agholor during his Monday press conference last week.
“Sometimes you have to take a step back in order to move forward. Sometimes that can help clear your head,” he said. “I remember as a quarterback back in 1999 when Andy pulled me out and put Donovan in, it was a step back to possibly go forward and get me to see it differently. That way, too, you can begin to clear your head and see it where you don’t have the pressure of performing on you all the time.”
Philadelphia is getting its wish, hopefully Turner can provide a lift.
