PHILADELPHIA – Reed Blankenship has come a long way over the past calendar year. The second-year safety went from undrafted afterthought to kicking off OTAs as a starter in the back end of the Eagles’ defense, alongside veteran free-agent pickup Terrell Edmunds. Blankenship was even given the podium treatment after practice, a nice little perk
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles’ 2023 spring work will conclude will six Phase 3 OTA practices bridging the end of May and early June.

PHILADELPHIA – There are a lot of really good wide receiver duos in the NFL and the Eagles can match any of them with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith but there is some concern about the depth behind the two stars on what is expected to be a significant NFC contender again. The incumbent WR3
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles believe they have two No. 1 receivers in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith but how about two of the top 10 in the entire NFL? That’s an exclusive club that Brown certainly joined last season — his first in Philadelphia — when the Ole Miss product was named second-team All-Pro after
PHILADELPHIA – With June 1 looming this seems like the appropriate time to take a look at the status of Derek Barnett, the much-maligned Philadelphia Eagles’ 2017 first-round pick whose 2022 season was derailed by a torn ACL in Week 1 against Detroit. Few value the pass rush more than the Eagles who continue to
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles are expecting a lot out of Nakobe Dean in his second season as a pro and the former Georgia star is expected to go from zero to defensive leader in one offseason. As a rookie third-round pick Dean played in just 34 defensive snaps, a paltry two per game due in

PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles’ veterans are back to work at the NovaCare Complex and for many of them, Wednesday was the first time talking to reporters since the agonizing 38-35 Super Bowl LVII loss to Kansas City back in February. If you let them, setbacks like that can eat you up, according to Pro Bowl
PHILADELPHIA – When the 2023 draft process began only one team controlled its own destiny and that was the Chicago Bears, who earned the No. 1 overall pick in merit. The Bears were the worst team in the NFL last season, partially by design, as novice GM Ryan Poles tore it down in as close
PHILADELPHIA – After running unopposed over the past two seasons, Eagles punter Arryn Siposs has a challenger in 2023. In the past when Philadelphia has allowed specialists to go unopposed over the offseason and training camp, like placekicker Jake Elliott and long snapper Rick Lovato are likely to do this spring and summer, the organization
PHILADELPHIA – Call it Christmas in May because the NFL delivered quite a gift to Eagles fans on Wednesday, confirming a Christmas Day game at Lincoln Financial Field against the New York Giants.

PHILADELPHIA – The NovaCare Complex has not placed a bid to host the SEC Championship Game but the average Eagles’ practice will have strong ties to the two marquee teams in college football’s toughest conference.

Round 1, Pick 9: Jalen Carter, DL, Georgia The Philadelphia Eagles were fortunate enough to be able to select Jalen Carter with their first selection of the 2023 draft. Several months prior to the ongoing investigation that he was involved in Carter was believed to be the definitive first overall pick going into the draft.
PHILADELPHIA – The quarterback factory’s new spring line includes a throwback. Stanford’s Tanner McKee, the Eagles’ sixth-round pick at No. 188 overall on Saturday, is an old-school, 6-foot-6, 230-pound pocket passer set to arrive on a team with a distinctly new-school offensive approach based on Jalen Hurts’ dual-threat abilities. Too many assume that the Eagles
PHILADELPHIA – Few would have blinked if the Philadelphia Eagles drafted Georgia edge rusher Nolan Smith at No. 10 overall on Thursday night.

PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles and Arizona Cardinals agreed to a pre-draft trade tied to tampering allegations involving Jonathan Gannon.

PHILADELPHIA – Monday wasn’t supposed to happen. Three years to the day the Eagles shocked the football world by taking Jalen Hurts in the second round of the 2020 draft with a perceived franchise quarterback already in tow, the MVP runner-up took to the dais at the NovaCare Complex as the highest-paid player in the
