If the Philadelphia Eagles plan to play Jordan Matthews in Saturday's preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts, it would be best for Matthews to hit the practice field at some point.

Matthews sat out Eagles practice Wednesday afternoon as his left knee sprain continues to linger him. With one full practice remaining before the Colts game, chances are unlikely Matthews will play in the Week 3 preseason matchup.

Matthews has been out since Aug. 4 with the injury. He has missed the Eagles first two preseason games.

If Matthews doesn't play Saturday, he'll likely sit out the remainder of the preseason as the fourth preseason game is typically reserved for bubble players trying to make the 53-man roster. Matthews will be the primary slot receiver if he's active for the game.

Josh Huff will receive most of the reps in the slot if Matthews is out. Huff is getting a final look wth the first-team offense to prove his value for the Eagles 53-man roster.

Paul Turner has been working with the first-team offense in the slot in Matthews's absence. He's seemingly a lock to make the Eagles roster.

Matthews led the Eagles with 85 catches for 997 yards and eight touchdowns last season.
