PHILADELPHIA -- Carson Wentz, Alshon Jeffery, Ronald Darby and the Eagles continue the exhibition slate with a preseason Week 2 showdown against LeSean McCoy and the Buffalo Bills at Lincoln Financial Field at 7 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, August 17, 2017 (8/17/17).

The Eagles fell to the Green Bay Packers in the preseason opener 24-9, but were without Jeffery, who said Monday that he hopes to take the field on Thursday night against the Bills.

"I want to [play]," Jeffery said following Monday morning's practice at the NovaCare Complex. "We'll see."

Even without Jeffery, Wentz was magnificent in his one series of action against the Packers last week. Wentz finished a perfect 4-for-4 passing for 56 yards and a touchdown, good for a quarterback rating of 158.3.

Should Jeffery take the field on Thursday night, it would represent an ideal opportunity for Wentz to continue to build on a budding chemistry with the veteran wide receiver who signed as a free agent back in March but has seen limited action during training camp due to a sprained shoulder.

For the Bills, former Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews and running back LeSean McCoy are unlikely to play against their former team.
