Eagles notes: Is Wendell Smallwood's roster spot safe? Could Mychal Kendricks be traded?

by Jimmy Kempski

Eagles LB Mychal Kendricks is seemingly unhappy that the Eagles are making him play football in the preseason (he has refused to speak to reporters since last Saturday), as he was still on the field in the fourth quarter against the Colts in the third preseason game, and may be the only defensive starter to play in the fourth preseason game against the Jets on Thursday.

by Jimmy Kempski

Their opponents, on the other hand, will be missing a number of key pieces. Here's a list of players the Eagles are likely to miss in 2016 through the first eight weeks of the season.

Lane Johnson will start Week 1 vs Browns if he's not yet suspended

by Jimmy Kempski

Has anyone seen Lane Johnson's "B sample?" If so, it would helpful for the Eagles to know if it is contaminated with the same PEDs that were in the initial test Johnson reportedly failed. And if indeed those illegal substances are in the "B sample," which Johnson believes is a foregone conclusion, it would be helpful if confirmation of that could be achieved sooner than later.

Eagles WR Dorial Green-Beckham will have major height advantages over opponents this season

by Jimmy Kempski

New Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham is 6'5, which means that he's tall. Conversely, throughout the NFL, there are many cornerbacks who are short. Yes, this high-level analysis, and you can send all Pulitzers to PhillyVoice's offices. Thanks in advance.

Doug Pederson, 'master of obvious,' using his skill players correctly

by Jimmy Kempski

Chip Kelly often did not maximize his players' best attributes. It appears that Doug Pederson will.

Eagles might not get anything in Mark Sanchez trade

by Jimmy Kempski

As PhillyVoice first reported back in June, there were three different scenarios for the compensation the Philadelphia Eagles would receive in the trade that sent Mark Sanchez to the Denver Broncos. It appears as though the scenario in which the Eagles receive nothing is very much in play.
