It was a rough first half for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons.

Receivers Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) were questionable to return for Philadelphia, which trailed the Falcons 10-6 after two quarters. Quarterback Carson Wentz was also out of the game for a portion of the Eagles’ final drive of the half while in concussion protocol, but returned to help them to a late field goal.

Meanwhile, Atlanta rookie offensive tackle Kaleb McGary was questionable to return with a knee injury.
