Philadelphia Eagles and wide receiver Jordan Matthews have said their goodbyes for the third time. Eagles announced on Monday that they have released Matthews, parting ways with the veteran just two weeks after they signed him.

Needing some depth for their receiving core, which was depleted by injuries, Eagles decided to turn to a familiar face and bring in Matthews for his third stint with the team. The 27-year-old was a free agent after being released by San Francisco 49ers earlier in the season.

Matthews had a disappointing debut for Eagles, catching just one pass in Week 11 games against New England Patriots. He bounced back with three receptions for 27 yards in Week 12 against Seattle Seahawks, but that obviously wasn’t enough to keep his job.

Jordan Matthews started his career with Philadelphia Eagles in 2014, spending three years with the organization and registering three 800+ yards seasons. Matthews returned to Philly in 2018 for a second stint, recording 20 receptions for 300 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games.

Matthews’ release likely means that Eagles are preparing for the return of their starting duo Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor. Both Jeffery and Agholor spend significant time out with injuries in 2019.

Philadelphia Eagles are turning to a familiar face to help their injury-depleted receiving core. According to NFL Networks Ian Rapoport, Eagles have signed wide receiver Jordan Matthews on Wednesday.

Eagles found themselves in need of a WR following the surgery of DeSean Jackson, who will now miss the remainder of the year. Matthews looked like a natural fit, as he wore Eagles’ jersey on two previous occasions.

Matthews started the year with San Francisco 49ers and he ended up being released during the final roster cuts. He was resigned in late October, but played only three snaps before being released once again. 

Philadelphia Eagles were Jordan Matthews’ first team in NFL, drafting him in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft. Matthews played three years in Philly before being traded to Buffalo Bills ahead of the 2017 season.

After a poor showing with the Bills and unsuccessful stint with New England Patriots, Matthews returned to Philly in 2018. He ended up having 20 catches for 300 yards and two touchdowns.
