Report: Eagles Have Had Flu Symptoms Ahead of Super Bowl; Nelson Agholor Had IV

Multiple Philadelphia Eagles players have reportedly dealt with flu-like symptoms leading up to Sunday's Super Bowl LII against the New England Patriots.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor needed an IV Saturday morning after feeling "sick and weak."

Rapoport added that he is feeling better, however, and should be ready to play Sunday.

After struggling in his first two NFL campaigns, Agholor has enjoyed a career season for the Eagles thus far.

During the regular season, the 2015 first-round pick out of USC ranked second on the Eagles in catches (62), third in receiving yards (768) and tied for second in touchdown receptions (eight).

Along with wide receiver Alshon Jeffery and tight end Zach Ertz, Agholor gives Philadelphia one of the NFL's best pass-catching groups.

His availability will be key Sunday since quarterback Nick Foles will likely need his full allotment of weapons to keep pace with Tom Brady and New England's explosive offense.

In Philadelphia's 38-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game, Agholor made three grabs for 59 yards, including a 42-yard play.

Pass defense is arguably the Patriots' biggest weakness, as they ranked 30th in the NFL in passing yardage allowed during the regular season.

If Agholor can help create some big plays in the passing game, then the Eagles may have a chance to pull off the upset.

Philadelphia will need all of its key players healthy and ready to go Sunday, as it is a 4.5-point underdog against the defending champions, per OddsShark.
