It seemed like a business trip that the Eagles did not want to take. There was an eye-rolling, ho-hum quality to their effort on Thursday night against the woeful Houston Texans at NRG Stadium. The Eagles remain the only undefeated team in the NFL after a 29-17 victory over Houston, moving to 8-0 for the

HOUSTON – Rookie defensive tackle Jordan Davis will be sidleined for at least four games after being placed on injured reserve Wednesday afternoon. The Eagles’ 2022 first-round pick suffered a high ankle sprain late in the first half of last Sunday’s blowout win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to an NFL source. Davis had played
PHILADELPHIA – To no one’s surprise Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni didn’t reveal much when it came to the status of defensive tackle Jordan Davis’ ankle injury despite reports that the rookie could miss at least a month of action. An NFL source confirmed to JAKIB Sports that the initial belief was that Davis suffered
PHILADELPHIA – Jalen Hurts is labeled by most as one of the NFL’s best dual-threat quarterbacks. After leading the Eagles to a 35-13 blowout win over Pittsburgh why stop there? Philadelphia is 7-0 for only the second time in franchise history with Hurts as the on-field leader and the team has won 10 consecutive starts
The smoke that bursts into the air for the Eagles’ player introductions still lingered making it a little hazy to see on a clear, sun-drenched Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. It didn’t take long for the cloud to dissipate so everyone could see quite possibly the best team in the NFL right now. The Eagles’

PHILADELPHIA – Robert Quinn is expected to make his Eagles debut on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a scant four days after being acquired from the Chicago Bears for a 2023 fourth-round pick. Part of the quick integration is Quinn’s experience and some of it is the position he plays as an edge rusher. The
The Eagles have the league’s fourth-best success rate on third-and-one and fourth-and-one this season. They’ve converted 72.2% of their and-1s on third/fourth down. They’ve converted 9 of 13 on third down and 4 of 5 on fourth down. Quarterback Jalen Hurts is their primary weapon in those situations. He has converted 12 of 14 and-1s.
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles received good news on the injury front Thursday when star right tackle Lane Johnson cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and returned to practice while veteran defensive end Brandon Graham also engaged in a limited fashion after missing Wednesday’s session with a sore hamstring. Both were injured during the Week 6 win
With the championship window open the Eagles made a major move on Wednesday, acquiring 32-year-old edge rusher Robert Quinn for a fourth-round pick. Quinn has been having a down season in Chicago with just one sack in seven games while playing in 68% of the defensive snaps but the veteran is less than one year
Right tackle Lane Johnson remains in the NFL’s concussion protocol as the Eagles (6-0) returned to work Wednesday in preparation for Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh (2-5). That caused a little angst pre-practice because it’s been 10 days since Johnson suffered a head injury against the Dallas Cowboys but the team’s bye week skewed the process.
One of the more respected Eagles’ players is back. Veteran receiver Greg Ward was signed to the team’s practice squad on Monday. Ward was part of the team’s receiving corps from 2019 through 2021 and his attempt at making the 53 again was derailed this summer by a toe injury that sent the University of
The Eagles are off Sunday but in many ways, they are still the talk of the NFL as the league’s only unbeaten team at 6-0. The on-field leader of Philadelphia, quarterback Jalen Hurts, was praised by Hall of Fame coach Bill Cowher on ‘That Other Pregame Show’ which airs on CBS Sports Network. A Super
The Eagles have dominated the turnover wars in their first six games. They went into the bye week with a plus-12 turnover differential, which is not only the best in the league but the best by a wide margin. The Vikings and Ravens are tied for second at plus-4. No team has had a turnover
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles’ plus-12 turnover ratio is lapping the rest of the NFL during the team’s 6-0 start. No. 2 in the all-important statistic are Baltimore and Minnesota, teams that are each plus-4. Because there is a bit of randomness to turnovers, it’s the one statistic that can’t be counted on to continue at
PHILADELPHIA – Before the 2022 season began it was tough envisioning Miles Sanders earning a second contract with the Eagles. Sanders had proven to be a good player through his first three NFL seasons but one who fell short of unrealistic expectations after a rookie season that was arguably his best. The thought was that
PHILADELPHIA – What’s the mark of a really good football team? How about nitpicking? The Eagles are entering their bye week at 6-0, the NFL’s only unbeaten team, and they are scheduled out of it with this murderer’s row at quarterback: Mitchell Trubisky, Davis Mills, and Taylor Heinicke. The 2022 season is quickly becoming one
PHILADELPHIA – It was so bright on that national stage for Chauncey Gardner-Johnson on Sunday night that the Eagles’ safety had to wear shades. After a two-interception night in an emphatic 26-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys, CGJ was the first Eagles player to the podium after his team reached 6-0 for just the third
Nick Sirianni had to let the world know, or at least those around the Eagles’ locker room in the bowels of Lincoln Financial Field, when he yelled out, “How ’bout those Eagles,” Sunday night, after the Eagles managed to get by the Dallas Cowboys, 26-17, to move to 6-0 and remain the only undefeated team
The NFL is supposed to be a passing league. Yet, last week, just six of the 16 Week 5 winning quarterbacks threw a touchdown pass. Only four threw more than one. For the third time in five games, Jalen Hurts didn’t throw a touchdown pass, but it didn’t matter. The Eagles still beat the Arizona
