PHILADELPHIA – While the haves in the NFL are preparing for the playoffs, many of the have-nots are gearing up for hiring season, and Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen is proving to be one of the more popular names. Of the five openings around the league, Steichen, the play-caller for Philadelphia’s third-ranked offense, has been
PHILADELPHIA – Jalen Hurts came to the Eagles’ rescue in a 22-16 win over the junior varsity of the New York Giants but what cost? Philadelphia’s QB1 fight through significant soreness because the Eagles were unable to win without him in the two previous weeks. With the MVP candidate, Philadelphia is now 14-1. Without Hurts,
PHILADELPHIA – Jalen Hurts is “trending in the right direction” when it comes to a potential return from a sprained throwing shoulder and the MVP candidate has been listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. Hurts has missed the past two games — both losses — for the 13-3 Eagles, who
The NFL has officially been keeping track of quarterback sacks since 1982. During that time, just three teams have racked up more than the 68 the Eagles take into Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Giants at the Linc: the ’84 Bears (72), the ’89 Vikings (71), and the ’87 Bears (70). That they have done
PHILADELPHIA – The NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award is likely headed to Nick Bosa but that hasn’t stopped the Eagles’ Haason Reddick from trying to break into the conversation. The star pass-rusher of a defensive unit pushing the NFL record, Reddick has 16 sacks on the season and an NFL-leading five forced fumbles.
PHILADELPHIA – The NFL family as a whole was shaken when Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin suffered a dangerous cardiac event in Monday’s game between the Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. The 24-year-old was saved on the field by emergency personnel and remains in intensive care at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center slowly recovering with
PHILADELPHIA – I’ll always consider myself a reporter first but over the years the sojourn to talking head has manifested itself and that move requires participation in certain sports-talk tropes that are both mind-numbing and soul-crushing for those of us trying to elevate the medium. One of the biggest hat tips to the least common
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles have used all their mulligans and there is one more opportunity to seize the NFC East and the conference’s No. 1 seed, a Week 18 matchup against the playoff-bound New York Giants. What seemed like a foregone conclusion before Jalen Hurts’ SC joint sprain in Chicago last month, now is a
The Eagles’ four turnovers against the Cowboys on Christmas Eve were the biggest reason they left Jerryland with a 40-34 loss. But the defense’s uncharacteristically poor play on third down was a very close second. Giving up that 52-yard completion to T.Y. Hilton on third-and-30 in the fourth quarter as they were clinging to a
PHILADELPHIA – There were a lot of words coming out of Nick Sirianni’s mouth at his pre-practice presser on Friday, along with the requisite Larry Kehres nostalgia, but few answers as the Eagles’ coach continues to push the competitive-advantage card as far as possible when it comes to Sunday’s game against New Orleans. Sirianni declined
The question isn’t whether Lane Johnson will line up and play for the Eagles in the playoffs. He will. The question is how effective he will be playing with a torn adductor muscle. Johnson, the Eagles’ four-time Pro Bowl right tackle, suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s 40-34 loss to the Cowboys.
PHILADELPHIA – It’s status quo when it comes to Eagles and star quarterback Jalen Hurts. Hurts is dealing with a sprained SC joint in his shoulder and did not take part in a walkthrough practice on Wednesday but Eagles coach Nick Sirianni continues to leave the QB1’s playing status open-ended when it comes to Sunday’s
Far bigger than a loss at Dallas is the attrition that the 13-2 Eagles suffered against the Cowboys on Christmas Eve with two key starters expected out for the rest of the regular season in which Philadelphia still has to either win one of its final two home games against New Orleans and the New
The Eagles will always have fourth-and-26 to remember. On Christmas Eve, they gift-wrapped the Dallas Cowboys a resonating catchphrase that may last a while—third-and-30. It has a ring that will plague the Eagles and their fanbase for the holiday season until they host the New Orleans Saints next Sunday. Long before Miles Sanders put his

PHILADELPHIA – Things can happen quickly in the NFL. Take Tuesday afternoon when Jalen Hurts missed a walkthrough practice with the sprained throwing shoulder he suffered in Chicago and his backup Gardner Minshew was in Mississippi toggling between eulogizing the man who set the spark off to a professional career, his former Washington State coach
Jalen Hurts has 156 rushing attempts this season, which leads all NFL quarterbacks and is the third most ever by a quarterback in a season, surpassed only by Lamar Jackson’s 176 carries in 2019 and 159 in 2020. No one seemed to be fretting much about how many times Hurts was running the ball until
PHILADELPHIA − Dallas Goedert said he couldn’t remember the football hitting the practice field on Wednesday when Gardner Minshew took over the Eagles’ first-team offense for the first time as Jalen Hurts continued to rehab his sprained throwing shoulder. While it’s not exactly a linear correlation the same almost held true just over a year
PHILADELPHIA – A league-high eight Eagles players were selected to the 2023 Pro Bowl Team, including four first-timers. Quarterback and MVP candidate Jalen Hurts leads the list of first-time selections for Philadelphia and is joined by running back Miles Sanders, second-year left guard Landon Dickerson, and edge rusher Haason Reddick. The four making return trips
PHILADELPHIA – Jalen Hurts proclaimed it was business as usual Tuesday at the NovaCare Complex but it was anything but with a Christmas Eve showdown at 10-4 Dallas on the horizon. Hurts did not participate in a walkthrough practice due to the sprained throwing shoulder he suffered in a 25-20 win over Chicago on Sunday
Back in Week 6, it was Cooper Rush dueling against Jalen Hurts. On Christmas Eve, it’s more than likely going to be Gardner Minshew vs. Dak Prescott. If we are ever going to see Hurts and Prescott during the same game in the Eagles-Cowboys rivalry this season, it’s going to be in the playoffs. That’s
