Sep 24, 2015 at 05:05 AM

Head coach Chip Kelly spoke with reporters on Thursday for the final time ahead of the team's Week 3 game. He updated the media on the Eagles' injuries and once again discussed the matchup and biggest challenges when facing the Jets...

On the team's injuries:

Chip Kelly: DeMarco Murray will not practice today. He suffered a hamstring "tweak"
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 24, 2015

Coach Kelly: DeMarco Murray has a hamstring tweak. Still being evaluated. Don't know if he'll play on Sunday.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) September 24, 2015

Kelly said that DeMarco's injury will not change the game plan because of the presence of Ryan Mathews

Coach Kelly: Kiko Alonso will not practice today and most likely won't play on Sunday.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) September 24, 2015

Kelly said the #Eagles "still don't know" regarding the status of Mychal Kendricks for Sunday
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 24, 2015

Coach Kelly: We still don't know about Mychal Kendricks (hamstring). We'll continue to monitor him.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) September 24, 2015

Kelly said there's more to soft tissue injuries than just hydration. If that was true, everyone would hydrate. Compared to a car's alignment

Kelly: Vinny Curry will bump to defensive end with Thornton's injury plus Brandon Bair will be active. Marcus Smith can take OLB reps
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 24, 2015

Kelly: Jordan Hicks played all three downs after Alonso, Kendricks injuries and did well. We can't wait to see what he can do.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 24, 2015

On Brandon Bair:

Kelly: Bair has a wealth of experience. He would be active all of the time, but we can't carry that many defensive linemen
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 24, 2015

Coach Kelly: Brandon Bair was active for all 16 games last year. He's been a key contributor on this defense.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) September 24, 2015

On offensive issues:

Kelly said that the #Eagles must be better on first downs in order to keep the offense on schedule.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 24, 2015

Kelly: We self-scout the same amount every week. You start to have tendencies with two games in. We haven't done well on first down
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 24, 2015

Kelly: We have to run the ball vs. a six-man box. We didn't run well enough to demand an extra defender in the box
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 24, 2015

Kelly: If we see two high safeties and the QB throws the ball 20 yards deep, he's making the wrong decision.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 24, 2015

On the Jets' defense:

Kelly: The Jets have strength at all three levels of the defense.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 24, 2015

On the Eagles facing adversity:

Kelly likes what he's seen from his team from an adversity standpoint this week.
