Mathews is still dealing with a "little soreness" in his ankle but is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Lions, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mathews will have to make it through practice over the next couple days before he is officially cleared to play in Week 5, but it appears he will be able to get back on the field following the Eagles' Week 4 bye. Mathews is expected to resume his role as the team's primary running back as long as he is able to suit up.
