Chip Kelly Returning to NFL as ‘Package Deal’ with Dallas Cowboys Coach? Philadelphia Eagles Tracker
Is Chip Kelly returning to the NFL? That’s the rumor out of Seattle as the Seahawks zero in on the possibility of stealing defensive coordinator Dan Quinn from Dallas to serve as their head coach … with Kelly – a great success in that region as the Oregon coach before coming to take over the Eagles – as his offensive coordinator.
NAKOBE DEAN INJURED Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean suffered an injury in the first half of Sunday’s meeting with the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field. He has now been ruled out due to a foot injury.
Dean was seen walking to the locker room prior to halftime, and didn’t return. He posted three total tackles, a half a sack, and one quarterback hit.
NFC PLAYER OF THE MONTH Philadelphia Eagles receiver A.J. Brown had himself a month totaling 700 yards and five touchdowns on 40 receptions, which was enough for the NFL to recognize him as the NFC’s Player of the Month for October.
Brown has played in all eight games thus far for the Eagles, totaling 939 yards and five touchdowns on 60 receptions.
The Eagles and Brown will be in action next on Sunday when they host the Dallas Cowboys inside Lincoln Financial Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. (EST).
AJ BROWN TD Philadelphia Eagles receiver A.J. Brown has his second touchdown in Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders at FedEx Field.
It might not be as incredible as the one-handed grab he made in the first half, but Brown still managed to snag his second score while two defenders were on him.
EAGLES Inactive The Philadelphia Eagles visit the Washington Commanders on Sunday at FedEx Field. The two teams have revealed their inactive for the game.
Hollywood HURTS Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts made a rare public appearance with his longtime girlfriend, Bry Burrows, during Tuesday’s TIME 100 Red Carpet Event.
A true professional like Hurts doesn’t tend to talk openly about his personal and love life, which makes the recent appearance with Burrows a potential interesting step in the direction of something more serious. With a new five-year, $255 million contract extension, Hurts can certainly afford a fancy wedding ring if he and Burrows want to tie the knot.
EAGLES RULE OUT TWO VS. DOLPHINS The Philadelphia Eagles have revealed their Friday injury report and provided some game day injury designations for a two players.
As has been a theme this season, the Eagles’ secondary is once again dealing with injuries. Philly has ruled out safety Reed Blankenship (ribs) and cornerback Bradley Roby (shoulder) for Sunday’s game. Both didn’t practice on Friday.
Luckily for Philly, cornerback Darius Slay logged a full practice and appears set to return against the Dolphins after missing Week 6’s loss to the New York Jets.
Philadelphia Eagles star offensive tackle Lane Johnson suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter Sunday’s 20-14 loss to the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. He was eventually ruled out and never returned to the game.
However, the Eagles likely won’t have to wait long for Johnson to return. Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, sources say that Johnson could be back “real soon.” This comes after Ian Rapoport tweeted that the lateral ankle sprain Johnson suffered is not expected to be a long-term issue.
“Source on this earlier said don’t be surprised if Lane Johnson is back ‘real soon,'” Garafolo tweeted. “So good news for the Eagles on this one for sure.”
The Eagles host the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. And while it’s unlikely that Johnson will ready for Sunday, there’s currently positive signs surrounding his chances to return sooner rather than later.
LANE JOHNSON INJURED Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson went down with an ankle injury in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
Johnson, who got caught under a pile of bodies after a short run from D’Andre Swift, was seen limping toward the locker room after a brief trip to the blue medical tent on the sideline. Jack Driscoll took his place at right tackle.
CANDIDATE IN PITTSBURGH – Jon Gruden, who two years ago this month resigned from the NFL after revelations of his racist and homophobic emails, could be a candidate for a job with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gruden, who was the Eagles’ offensive coordinator on Ray Rhodes’ staff 1995-97, is currently a consultant with the Saints.
But a long-time Steelers reporter thinks he could be in line for an active coaching role in Pittsburgh. The Steelers are disgruntled with their lackluster offense, putting offensive coordinator Matt Canada on the proverbial hot seat.
In a recent chat, long-time Steelers reporter Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said “Way too early to speculate. But a good name would be Jon Gruden.”
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin worked for Gruden in Tampa Bay. In the wake of his forced resignation, Gruden is suing the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell.
