Mathews (ankle) appeared to be a full practice participant Sunday, philly.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
More importantly perhaps, is that the report notes that Mathews took his place with the the Eagles' first-team offense Sunday. Since being activated from the team's non-football injury list and returning to practice Friday, Mathews has reportedly looked sharp. "He just looks explosive out there," offensive coordinator Frank Reich noted after seeing Mathews work. "He looked explosive, he looked quick, he was seeing things. And I know it was a toned-down practice with no pads, but we're still playing fast. He looks good. He's an explosive, physical runner." As long as Mathews remains healthy, it sounds like the Eagles would like to get him plenty of work, with Reich stating that "we want to get (Mathews) as many touches as we can." In the mix for complementary work in the Eagles' 2016 backfield are veteran change-of-pace man Darren Sproles, Kenjon Barner and rookie Wendell Smallwood, who is dealing with a quad issue.
