Coach Kelly: Kiko Alonso is still away getting his second opinion. Should be back in Philadelphia on Friday.

When discussing the O-line depth and the inability to add there, Kelly mentions that Kiko Alonso isn't "an Injured Reserve candidate-type."

Coach Kelly: DeMarco Murray was limited in practice on Tuesday.

Kelly: It's unfortunate for Cody Parkey. He's the most conscientious kid I've been around. He's going to be here rehabbing.

Kelly: Mychal Kendricks looked good in practice. We're encouraged, but the key is how he progresses during the week

Coach Kelly: Mychal Kendricks looked good yesterday. With an injury like his, important to see how he progresses throughout the week.

On Caleb Sturgis:

Kelly: The ball explodes off Caleb Sturgis' foot. Dave Fipp has done extensive research.

On the offensive line:

Kelly: Matt Tobin has progressed. He has more experience.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 30, 2015

Kelly said that the #Eagles weren't going to overdraft an offensive lineman. Reaching gets you in trouble.

On the secondary:

Coach Kelly: Nolan Carroll proved to us that he could be an outside corner. He's been really good for us.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) September 30, 2015

Kelly said that it's no coincidence that both Malcolm Jenkins and Walter Thurmond started at CB. You have to play both in the box and deep

On Washington:

Kelly: Jason Hatcher is a tremendous defensive lineman for Washington. They've stopped the run with their front. Not allowing X-plays
