Agholor’s 34-yard score capped an eight-play, 80-yard drive for Philadelphia’s offense and gave the Eagles a 7-3 lead.
The 22-year-old rookie was listed behind Josh Huff on the Eagles first depth chart. While few conclusions can be drawn from preseason performances, Nelson’s display of athleticism and speed won’t be ignored.

The Eagles beat the Colts, 36-10, and Agholor finished with three catches for 57 yards and a score.
