The Eagles (4-5) played the fourth quarter without starting quarterback Sam Bradford, who was knocked out of the game with a left shoulder injury late in the third quarter with the Eagles leading 16-13.

When Suh was asked about his recent surge he said it’s about “understanding the way people want to block me and just attacking and playing off our guys up front”.
So if the Eagles are stuck with Sanchez for a while, how much worse off are they?
Sanchez has been here before.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford is reportedly expected to miss this weekend’s game – and could miss next week’s game as well.
But Sanchez has a tendency to turn the ball over at the wrong time and it happened again on second down from the Dolphins 9.
“It’ll be good to get back home in front of our crowd”, interim coach Dan Campbell said Monday.
Bleeding Green Nation gave a statistical run down of Bradford’s stats for the season, and up until a few weeks ago, it certainly wasn’t pretty. We’ll monitor the status from the City of Brotherly Love all week for updates. Regardless, Sam Bradford suffered a left AC joint sprain and a concussion on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, so there really isn’t any other option for the Eagles. X-rays on his shoulder were negative.
Miami Dolphins’ Ryan Tannehill passes during the first half of an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday, November 15, 2015, in Philadelphia.
Lamar Miller opened the season with 131 rushing yards through those first four games.
The loss of Mathews in the third quarter meant more work at running back for Darren Sproles, who’d been spending considerable time split out at wide receiver. If Bradford is out for an extended period of time, the Eagles might be finished. From the 4, a Tannehill pass was deflected and sailed high in the air before Landry gathered it in.
“We have a lot of faith in Mark”, tight end Zach Ertz said. Nonetheless, the pass very easily could have been broken up had Austin given an inkling of effort to make a play on the ball, which he didn’t. The only way the Eagles are going to move forward at this point is if Kelly’s sniper-like mind can whip up a simple game plan, with simple routes and concepts, and makes it so it’s almost foolproof.
Safety Walter Thurmond didn’t practice and neither did linebacker Connor Barwin.
Kelly gave long-snapper Jon Dorenbos a vote of confidence despite a couple of below-average snaps that played a part in a missed field goal and a blocked punt costing the Eagles 10 points Sunday.
Ajayi surging: Rookie running back Jay Ajayi picked up where he left off, having another big performance in limited action.
Murray has three Eagles blockers in front of him and just one Dolphins defender near the line of scrimmage, within five-yards of him. He had four catches for 53 yards before the injury, and was ruled out for the rest of the game.

The Birds offered no details on timetables on Bradford, who was unavailable after completing 19 of 25 passes for 236 yards and a two-yard first-quarter touchdown pass to Josh Huff.
