On injuries:

Chip Kelly: Kiko Alonso is away until Friday rehabbing. DeMarco Murray did a few things, was limited, on Tuesday

Coach Kelly: Kiko Alonso is still away getting his second opinion. Should be back in Philadelphia on Friday.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) September 30, 2015

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.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) September 30, 2015

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

Riley Cooper and Jason Peters should be ready for Sunday's game against Washington from an injury standpoint

Coach Kelly: Riley Cooper and Jason Peters have some nagging injuries. Hopeful to have them be full-go in practice.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) September 30, 2015

Kelly: Mychal Kendricks looked good in practice. We're encouraged, but the key is how he progresses during the week
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 30, 2015

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.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 30, 2015

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.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 30, 2015

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
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) September 30, 2015

On Washington:

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