Benn started Friday's preseason game against the Patriots, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports. The starting designation doesn't mean much in this case, as Benn is likely just hoping to win a spot on the final roster. With Jeremy Maclin (hamstring) and Riley Cooper (foot) sidelined, the Eagles have opted not to start rookies Jordan Matthews and Josh Huff (shoulder), instead going with guys like Benn, Brad Smith and Ifeanyi Momah, all of whom are long shots to emerge as fantasy options this season. Benn caught a pass for six yards on his only target in Friday's game.
