Eagles starting S Nate Allen has been ruled out this week with a concussion. That will mean the 1st career start for 2nd-round pick Jaiquawn Jarrett. The rookie entered Monday's loss to the Bears after Allen suffered his injury early. DC Juan Castillo credited Jarrett with playing a "solid game." That qualifies as an outstanding debut compared with some of the other trash thrown up by Eagles safeties this year. We'll see how Jarrett can fare in his 1st try as starter.

2nd-round pick S Jaiquawn Jarrett is a healthy scratch for Week 1. That should indicate the kind of IDP value you can expect from the rookie this season. S Kurt Coleman is the 1 to own at the position for the Eagles.

The Eagles' initial depth chart lists Kurt Coleman as the starting FS, next to 2010 rookie Nate Allen. Jaiquawn Jarrett, the 2nd-round pick from this year, sits behind Coleman. Everything is subject to change from this early stage, but the Eagles have liked Coleman ever since he arrived. No matter who technically starts, we should probably expect all 3 to be significantly involved. That figures to cap the IDP numbers, which is particularly significant for Jarrett. He's attractive in rookie drafts but may not have so high a ceiling initially. For what it's worth, S Michael Lewis joined Andy Reid's Eagles as a 2nd-rounder in 2002 behind Brian Dawkins and Blaine Bishop. He started just 4 games as a rookie before cracking the lineup for good in 2003.
