Wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham hasn’t seen a lot of preseason action since the Titans traded him to Philadelphia almost two weeks ago.

But he did make the most of limited opportunity over the weekend.

Green-Beckham caught two passes for 15 yards – including a four-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Sam Bradford – in the Eagles’ 33-23 preseason win over Indianapolis. The touchdown pass was a fade play into the end zone, where the 6-5 Green-Beckham outjumped Indianapolis cornerback Tay Glover-Wright near the sideline.

Green-Beckham was on the field for just eight plays against the Colts, but he was targeted three times during that stretch and made the two catches.

“It felt natural,” Green-Beckham told Philadelphia media following the contest. “Just me being a big target and having a height difference, going up and making plays like that is big for me because I know I have to take advantage of those opportunities in the red zone.

“For me to go out and do that, I feel like all my teammates can see what I’m capable of doing. That’s the one thing I came here to do.”

Bradford sounded enthused about the potential of Green-Beckham, a second-round pick of the Titans in 2015.

“He’s a big physical receiver,” Bradford told Philadelphia media. “He’s kind of the receiver that comes to mind when you think of fades in the red zone.

“Anytime that we can get him matched up one on one back side and take advantage of that, it’s huge for us. It just gives us another weapon to make a play down there and just trusting him to go make a play, you know it’s nice to have someone like that down in the red zone.”

In Green-Beckham’s first game with the Eagles, which occurred just two days after the Titans traded him, he played six snaps against Pittsburgh, was targeted twice and didn’t make any catches.

Meanwhile, Dennis Kelly, the offensive lineman the Titans acquired for Green-Beckham, played 18 snaps in Tennessee’s win over Oakland on Saturday. He’d played 36 snaps against Carolina in his first preseason game for the Titans.

The 6-8, 321-pound Kelly was acquired for depth at the tackle position, and his versatility will allow him to play guard if necessary as well. He could also serve as a blocking tight end in some situations.
