Breaking down the Eagles' wide receivers
Jason Avant has managed to up his numbers in each of his six seasons in the NFL, but costly fumbles and a lack of production in the red zone could have the Eagles looking for another slot receiver.

JASON AVANT
He has managed to up his numbers in each of his six seasons in the NFL, but costly fumbles and a lack of production in the red zone could have the Eagles looking for another slot receiver.
RILEY COOPER
The size is there (6-foot-3, 222 pounds), and he had a few moments last season, but he hasn't turned into that red-zone threat some thought he could be.
MARTY GILYARD
Signed in January after a season out of the NFL, he has experience returning kicks and could help in that area.
CHAD HALL
His versatility has kept him on the 53-man roster for most of the last two seasons, but this feel-good story might have reached its end.
JAMEL HAMLER
A late season addition to the practice squad, he was signed to a reserve/future contract in January.
DESEAN JACKSON
Will the five-year, $51 million deal he inked in March make Jackson a happy camper and compel him to catch balls over the middle? Time will tell.
RON JOHNSON
Drafted in the sixth round by the 49ers a year ago, he spent most of last season on the practice squad.
JEREMY MACLIN
If it weren't for shoulder/hamstring injuries that kept him out of three games, Maclin would have likely gone over 1,000 yards receiving for the first time in his career.
