by Jimmy Kempski

In case you missed it, after just two days of Indianapolis Colts training camp, former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is already on the shelf with a foot injury. On Sunday evening, several media outlets reported that Wentz intended on opting for "rest and rehab" over surgery on his foot. By Monday morning, things had changed.

Eagles training camp notes, Day 4: Sloppy offense

by Jimmy Kempski

Day 4 of Philadelphia Eagles training camp got a late start at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday evening, because NFL Network was running day-long look-ins at all 32 NFL camps, and that required the Eagles to start later than usual, or something? Whatever, who cares. That practice is in the books, and as always, we have notes.

Eagles' potential first-round pick for Carson Wentz becoming unlikely

by Jimmy Kempski

For most of the offseason, I think we (fans, media, the team, etc.) have thought of the Eagles as having three first-round picks in 2022. We should probably start thinking of them having two first-round picks, and being pleasantly surprised if they end up with three.

by Jimmy Kempski

Day 3 of Philadelphia Eagles training camp is in the books, and it was a quick practice, as the lads were only on the field for about an hour and 10 minutes. Still, there were observations to be made, so let's get right to it.

by Jimmy Kempski

It was a cool, overcast day at the NovaCare Complex on Wednesday for Philadelphia Eagles training camp Day No. 2. The lads were still in shells and shorts, but we have our first update on the best battle in camp, at left tackle.

Keeping Zach Ertz on the Eagles' roster in 2021 does not make much sense

by Jimmy Kempski

Zach Ertz is the best tight end in Philadelphia Eagles franchise history, a Super Bowl hero, and fan favorite. As such, he will forever be a legendary figure in Philly. Emotional and sentimental attachments aside, however, there's no good reason that Ertz should remain on the Eagles' roster in 2021.

Should the Eagles have interest in Dolphins CB Xavien Howard?

by Jimmy Kempski

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard is awesome, but, spoiler, no, the Philadelphia Eagles should not have interest in him.

Eagles training camp notes, Day 1: Actual football is back!

by Jimmy Kempski

Philadelphia Eagles 2021 training camp is underway, and Nick Sirianni actually held a spirited practice to kick things off, even if it was kinda short. Under Doug Pederson in 2020, the team started with an uneventful 10-10-10 practice. Let's get right to the notes.
