Kiko Alonso ruled out for Sunday at Jets
Published24 Sep 2015
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly addressed the media on Thursday for the last time before Sunday's Week 3 game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
Kelly didn't rule linebacker Kiko Alonso out on Wednesday. However, he clarified today that Alonso won't play against the Jets after suffering a sprained left knee during Week 2's 20-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
Coach Kelly: Kiko Alonso will not practice today and most likely won't play on Sunday.

"He won't go this week," Kelly said. "He won't go (Thursday), so he won't go this week."
There is cause for concern for Alonso. The injury is in the same knee that he had surgically repaired last season.
Alonso had five tackles and one interception for the Eagles prior to his injury.
