The Philadelphia Eagles are dealing with several injury issues heading into their NFL Week 2 game against the Indianapolis Colts.
With starting offensive linemen Evan Mathis (designated to return) and Allen Barbre (season-ending) both being placed on injured reserve, Dennis Kelly is projected to start at left guard while Andrew Gardner figures to take over at right tackle.
Second-year offensive lineman Matt Tobin is still out with an ankle injury. Here's an update on Tobin, per Jeff McLane.
Matt Tobin was able to do some post-practice work, but he intimated that he's still a ways off from returning from high ankle sprain.

Rookie wide receiver Josh Huff is still out as well. Huff gave an update on his status after practice, per Tim McManus.
Checked in on Huff, said shoulder is at about 85 percent. Week-plus away from practicing.

Running back Chris Polk and Jaylen Watkins were full participants in practice on Thursday. Both players were designated as inactive prior to the Eagles-Jaguars game. It looks like they're both on track to return this week. In the case of Polk, it'll be hard to believe he's back until it's official.
