Aug 28, 2026; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman during warmups against the Cincinnati Bengals at Lincoln Financial Field.

Jul 30, 2026; Philadelphia, PA, USA; Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (13) during training camp at Jefferson Health Training Complex.

Aug 28, 2026; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni looks on during the first quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals at Lincoln Financial Field.

News

Inside the Jefferson Health Training Complex, the real anxiety was reserved for a quieter cut: seventh-round rookie Keyshawn James-Newby.

Eagles' Jonathan Greenard speaks to reporters at minicamp on June 10, 2026.

News

Despite missing the spring and summer with injuries, the Eagles' belief in Jonathan Greenard remains strong.

Jul 29, 2026; Philadelphia, PA, USA; Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (26) during training camp at Jefferson Health Training Complex.

If Saquon Barkley's yards-before-contact number climbs again, it will be the clearest sign the offense has its identity back. If it stays near the bottom of the league, the Eagles will spend another year explaining away third-and-long.

Eagles assistant coach Joe Kasper looks on at practice.

Joe Kasper does not spend much time thinking about his next job. The Eagles’ newly minted defensive passing game coordinator says is too consumed with where his feet are.

Aug 28, 2026; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Ty Robinson (95) during the fourth quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals at Lincoln Financial Field.

For those wringing their hands over Maki Lemon and Eli Stowers failing to hit the ground running as rookies, second-year defensive tackle Ty Robinson offers both hope and a cautionary tale.

Jan 29, 2026; Mobile, AL, USA; National Team head coach Clint Hurtt of the Philadelphia Eagles checks his notes during National Senior Bowl practice at Hancock Whitney Stadium.

The Eagles’ interior defensive line might be the most talented in football, led by emerging superstar Jalen Carter and his longtime teammate Jordan Davis.

Jun 10, 2026; Philadelphia, PA, USA; Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (8) during minicamp at Jefferson Health Training Complex.

Heading into the 2026 season, the Eagles' coaching staff sees Bigsby as a top-tier insurance policy for a 29-and-a-half-year-old workhorse.

Eagles passing game coordinator Josh Grizzard

With the regular season fast approaching, Grizzard, the Eagles pass game coordinator, again emphasized that head coach Nick Sirianni has leaned on extra “call-it” periods to create extra game-like situations.

The Eagles’ roster-building gamble after final cuts produced a sharper sting than expected.

Jan 4, 2026; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Eagles center Drew Kendall (66) prepares to snap the ball against the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field.

After handing over depth responsibility to three young, unproven players – Drew Kendall, Willie Lampkin and Micah Morris – on the interior Roseman said any concern had been alleviated.

Aug 28, 2026; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Uar Bernard (93) looks on from the bench during the final moments of a loss against the Cincinnati Bengals at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles hoped the rest of the league would see what Philadelphia already knew: two high-upside International Player Pathway prospects who are still learning football.

Jul 30, 2026; Philadelphia, PA, USA; Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion and quarterbacks Jalen Hurts (1) and Andy Dalton (14) and Cole Payton (10) and Tanner McKee (16) during training camp at Jefferson Health Training Complex.

Four quarterbacks after a summer of little exciting play at the position sounds like overkill.
