Mathews (knee) will return to practice Wednesday, according to coach Doug Pederson.
Mathews has missed Philadelphia's past two games due an MCL problem, but it appears he could reenter the fold for Sunday's game against the Redskins. While his involvement over the course of this week should ultimately dictate his availability, it's promising to hear he'll participate in Wednesday's practice. If Mathews is cleared to suit up in Week 14, rookie Wendell Smallwood would figure to concede some of the extra carries he's been given lately.
