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.
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. 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 breif trip to the blue medical tent on the sideline. Jack Driscoll took his place at right tackle.The Eagles have ruled Johnson as questionable to return.
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.
