MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – To the outsider, it was pedestrian, a practice session filled with checkdowns and a conservative approach. To the ultimate insider, it was a sight for sore eyes. Jalen Hurts practice on Wednesday against the Miami Dolphins will likely be the last time the third-year quarterback sees an unfriendly face until Sept.
MIAMI GARDENS – On the eve of the Eagles’ final preseason game against the Miami Dolphins, much of the roster looks set with the initial cutdown to 53 set for Tuesday, Aug. 30. The notable exception to that is safety where players like Josiah Scott, K’Von Wallace, Jaquiski Tartt, Andre Chachere, and Reed Blankenship could
MIAMI GARDENS – Kyzir White is coming off an excellent season with the Los Angeles Chargers in what was a contract year for the 26-year-old Lehigh County native yet the payoff wasn’t there. And that has left a very big chip on a good player’s shoulder, something that should only help the Eagles this season.
MIAMI GARDENS – Things didn’t go as planned for the Eagles Thursday in Miami. The Dolphins were forced to cancel the back end of consecutive joint practices due to a stomach virus that hit the team hard overnight. Miami head coach Mike McDaniel described the issue was with a few players and the goal was
MIAMI GARDENS – Ugo Amadi — we hardly knew you. Amadi’s tenure in Philadelphia lasted all of eight days when the Eagles sent him to Tennessee, along with a 2023 seventh-round pick in exchange for a sixth-round selection in 2023. The Eagles had acquired Amadi on Aug. 15 in a player-for-player deal that sent disappointing
MIAMI GARDENS – Jalen and Tua, Tua and Jalen. That’s been a thing since Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa called Tuscaloosa home. Despite presumptive acrimony of players competing together for one position, however, that’s simply never been the case for the two former Nick Saban signal-callers. The story of Tagovailoa and Hurts is a well-known
Eagles waive three: Any hope of seeing Tyree Jackson or Brett Toth early in the season was extinguished on Tuesday when the team moved the dup from the active/PUP list to the reserve/PUP list, a bookkeeping move that means neither player can be in the mix for Philadelphia until at least Week 5 of the
Gardner Minshew hasn’t had the best summer when it comes to the practice field. Any doubts surrounding Jalen Hurts’ backup diminished greatly on Sunday in Cleveland, however, when Minshew was superlative in one half of work during the Eagles’ 21-20 preseason win over the Browns. With Hurts and the majority of the starters getting their
You don’t need the tin-foil hat or the dark web to conjure up a conspiracy theory about Kareem Hunt and the Eagles. There’s the obvious in that Hunt has asked for a trade and both Browns GM Andrew Berry and his assistant, Catherine Raiche, are very familiar with their former boss in Philadelphia, Howie Roseman.
Jonathan Gannon ‘s HITS principle isn’t all that unique to the NFL. The Eagles’ defensive coordinator brought the acronym with him from Indianapolis and learned the foundational principles of the philosophy in prior stops with Atlanta, Tennessee, and Minnesota. In many ways, the traits of hustle, intensity, takeaways, and smarts are just common sense when
PHILADELPHIA – For most of the Eagles’ receivers the biggest impediment during an average practice is the organization’s impressive trio of cornerbacks. For Zach Pascal, it was a chicken quesadilla. The veteran receiver loves his Mexican food but the emotion went unrequited days before training camp began when tainted food wreaked havoc on Pascal’s insides.
PHILADELPHIA – After Tuesday’s practice, the Eagles got down to the league-mandated limit of 85 by waiving three players with injury designations: WR Lance Lenoir, safety Jared Mayden, and cornerback Jimmy Moreland. Mayden missed the 86-minute with an ankle injury while Moreland had just returned from his own ankle injury and was working in a
The Eagles dealt underachieving wide receiver turned tight end J.J. Arcega-Whiteside to the Seattle Seahawks for defensive back Ugo Amadi. Arcega-Whiteside was pulled from Sunday’s practice for what was described as a non-injury-related matter which turned out to be the trade. Eagles have agreed to terms to trade TE JJ Arcega-Whiteside to the Seahawks for
Tempers typically flare at some point during physical football practices in the heat. The Eagles somehow made it through 10 sessions, some reaching near triple digits on the thermometer, without anything boiling over. That changed on Sunday despite things being a bit cooler at the NovaCare Complex with backup left tackle Andre Dillard being the
PHILADELPHIA – The hit was so bad even Jets coach Robert Saleh called it “egregiously awful” after New York’s 24-21 preseason comeback win over the Eagles on Friday night. Jets linebacker Quincy Williams belted Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts well out of bounds in a penalty so obvious it had Nick Sirianni screaming at a friend,
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles won the meaningful minutes in Friday night’s preseason opener against the New York Jets but Philadelphia’s depth couldn’t hold up in a 24-21 setback. The starters were superlative in limited work building up a quick 14-0 lead with two touchdowns in the first quarter on the backs of a stellar performance
PHILADELPHIA – Context is always important and it was missing when a fan-clipped video from the Eagles’ recent open practice at Lincoln Financial Field went viral. The short outtake showed Eagles’ first-round pick Jordan Davis putting fellow rookie Cam Jurgens on skates during a one-on-one drill. Na Jordan Davis is real pic.twitter.com/HiqHTVPUfj — Rich Bussey
PHILADELPHIA – It wasn’t supposed to be this way for Jalen Reagor, a dynamic playmaker in college at TCU who arrived in Philadelphia billed as the playmaker the Eagles’ offense desperately needed. The Eagles, of course, chose Reagor at No. 21 overall in the 2020 draft at the behest of the coaching staff, one spot
PHILADELPHIA – From the Eagles’ perspective, the hope is that Cam Jurgens’ first foray as the team’s starting center lasts about a month, just in time for Jason Kelce’s return on Sept. 11 in Detroit. Dubbed as a luxury pick back in April when Philadelphia selected him at No. 51 overall as the 34-year-old Kelce’s
PHILADELPHIA – The biggest news at a steamy NovaCare Complex on Tuesday came off the field when it was revealed that veteran center Jason Kelce will be undergoing a procedure to help his troublesome elbow with an eye on the season-opener Sept. 11 in Detroit. The team described the path forward as a “routine cleanout”
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles’ offense needed a spark Sunday night and it found it by using Jalen Hurts’ athleticism with a plethora of run-pass options plays in front of nearly 30,000 fans at Lincoln Financial Field during the team’s only open practice this summer. The highlight for most was a 35-yard touchdown pass down the
