Analysis
Why Sean Mannion's McKee Adjustment Matters for Jalen Hurts

Analysis
Eagles Roster Math Leaves No Room for Preseason Hype
Philadelphia's initial 53-man roster will be decided by position counts, game-day roles, special teams and waiver exposure—not the loudest preseason highlight. The final flexible spots show why a productive August performance can help a player without guaranteeing him a job.

A.J. Brown or Terrell Owens? John McMullen Makes His Pick
Choosing between peak A.J. Brown and Terrell Owens is really a choice between two different kinds of Eagles greatness. Owens owns the finished Hall of Fame résumé, but Brown's sustained Philadelphia peak gives him a powerful one-game case.
Analysis
Why the Eagles-Patriots Practice Results Need More Context
Five Jalen Hurts interceptions made the loudest headline from two joint practices, but the full Eagles-Patriots picture was far more complicated. Missing receivers, experimental work and uneven execution make the raw totals a starting point, not a verdict.
Analysis
