Mathews had 22 yards on four carries and 26 yards on two receptions in Sunday's preseason game against the 49ers. Though he had a touchdown reception called back because of a penalty, Mathews still turned in a solid performance. He was a bit more active in the passing game toward the end of last season, but his 26 receptions are about what you can expect this year. Mathews will also have more competition for early-down work due to the offseason addition of Donald Brown.
