Philadelphia Eagles news and links for 10/23/26.

Oct 23, 2026, 3:50 PM UTC

A.J. Brown is a non-factor once again. Maye Brown isn’t back at a 100% yet, or he’s still rusty from the time missed out on, however he was a non-factor once again on Thursday. He did capture 3 passes for 48 backyards, however when he had opportunities to make huge plays, he was not able to complete them. With Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins on hurt reserve, the Patriots require more of him. I will state that I’m currently having some actually combined sensations about sending out that first-round choice to the Eagles to get him, specifically with no defenses connected to it. Possibly Brown can show me incorrect the rest of this year and next year, however it definitely hasn’t looked excellent up until now.

DeVonta likewise missed out on the very first practice of recently before being gradually being increase over the next 2 days. We’ll see if him and/or Wicks follow that pattern today. If not, the Eagles will sure be short-handed at receiver. DeVonta is still noted with a hamstring injury while Wicks is freshly noted with an ankle injury after formerly missing out on practice time due to a hamstring injury of his own. Goedert missed out on practice due to a knee injury. Uncertain if it’s the very same one that formerly triggered him to miss out on time. One would presume so. With the Eagles waiving E.J. Jenkins, Johnny Mundt is presently the only healthy tight end on the active lineup. The Eagles might look to sign Zach Ertz from the practice team … and/or trigger fan preferred Grant Calcaterra and/or novice Eli Stowers from hurt reserve.

This is a huge week for a Very Not Good NFC East as the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles are squaring off on Monday Night Football … with really little excitement Times are difficult in the department and their 2 most noticeable groups being down is a substantial reason that. Possibly the most noticeable group is really the New York Giants as they are formally turning to JJ McCarthy as QB1 … is this the best relocation for the G-Men?

We’re quick approaching the midpoint of the NFL season and whatever is up for grabs. The only 2 departments that truly feel arranged are the AFC West and the NFC West. No shade to the remainder of the groups attempting to promote the top, however the Chiefs and 49ers simply seem like they’re in a class of their own today. Today offers us some quite remarkable video games. Beginning on Thursday night we have the Bears and Patriots, a video game that on paper it looks like Chicago’s win– however New England has actually discovered its type just recently and might quickly make this a shootout. It’s unbelievable, however one of the most controversial video games this week among the panel is Rams vs. Raiders. That’s a favor of how far the Raiders have actually increased the season, and likewise how far the Rams have actually fallen from their preseason buzz train. Here are our choices for Week 7 in the NFL.

1) The Cowboys’ defense stinks The Cowboys had a traditionally bad defense in 2025, and it’s been perhaps even worse in 2026. They can’t stop the run, they can’t stop the pass, and they have the least takeaways in the NFL, with simply 3. Obviously, if the Eagles had a great offense they ‘d be drooling over this match. … 2) The Eagles’ offense is even worse than the Cowboys’ defense. […] The Eagles are missing out on Jalen Hurts and some offending linemen, so battles are to be anticipated. If we’re ranking factors the offense stinks, I ‘d have training greater on the list than injuries.

Trading a third-round choice for almost 2 years of Barkley at an overall expense of about $17 million would be a quite affordable bet for the Vikings to make provided how well their defense is playing. Jones and Mason could be a strong one-two punch, however are you happy to depend on them to be present, healthy and efficient by the time we get to January? Are the Vikings comfy utilizing Dallas or Demond Claiborne as their lead backs if not? Barkley isn’t the only running back who makes good sense for the Vikings, and he has his own injury history to stress over, however he would definitely be the highest-upside choice. In this case, the real choice the Eagles would land in return would go through Barkley’s play in Minnesota. The Vikings currently own Philly’s third-round choice as an outcome of the Jonathan Greenard trade, which third-round choice tasks to land at the 70th total slot. Minnesota’s own third-round choice tasks to fall all the method to No. 93, which is a more remarkable distinction than it may appear. Ben Baldwin’s draft chart jobs the distinction in between the 70th and 93rd choices as deserving about $6.5 million in surplus worth over 4 years. The terms of this trade: If Barkley runs for 500 or more lawns over the rest of the routine season and the Vikings advance to the playoffs, the Eagles would land the much better of the third-round choices (and the lower if not). If he runs for a minimum of 150 lawns in the playoffs and the Vikings advance to the Super Bowl, the choice gets bumped as much as a second-rounder.

He’s not a backup any longer and it’s time for Tanner McKee to begin believing like the starter and begin imitating the starter. That suggests keep doing whatever he has actually been doing. Just more of it. “There’s just one quarterback on the field at a time,” McKee stated after practice Thursday. “And so when you enter the huddle, you’re anticipated to be the leader, understand where everybody’s expected to be, get everyone on the ideal page. And whether that’s in an exercise or remaining additional, being the last guy to leave the structure, I seem like there is that expectation for whoever that guy is. And clearly, there’s still that expectation if you’re a backup or whatever to prepare like the starter. I feel like I’ve absolutely taken an additional action forward in that. And I desire the guys to trust me. I desire the guys to understand that when I enter there, they have complete self-confidence that the offense is going to run efficiently. And I’m going to understand what I’m expected to do. I’m going to understand what they’re going to do. And if they do not understand, then they can ask me. And we will not avoid a beat. And we’ll have the ability to still move the ball. And I’ll have the ability to inform them what they require to do so we can perform at a high level.”

You’re Nick Sirianni, and your reported yearly wage$17 million, may be enough to discourage you or somebody else from willingly leaving a task that pays so handsomely. If I were you, I may ask myself, What’s the expense of the chance to base on my own 2 feet as a head coach? Just how much would I pay to have individuals no longer view me as a puppet? The number of more times do I need to be the general public fall guy for choices that, when push concerns push, I’m not making? If I were you, and this season ends up being a catastrophe, there would be a strategy that would guarantee I maintained my self-respect and self-regard. I might stroll into Lurie’s workplace– possibly before the routine season’s last video game, perhaps simply after it– and inform him that I’m leaving. For my household. For my assurance. For me. If I were you, I may consider it.

Uar Bernard and Joshua Weru got a little tase of home from a not likely source– a charter school in West Philadelphia. If you ask most lower- and middle-school trainees in Philadelphia who their preferred Eagles gamers are, they’ll likely state Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Cooper DeJean, or DeVonta Smith. For trainees at the Harambee Institute in West Philadelphia, it’s Uar Bernard and Joshua Weru. Established 54 years ago to welcome African heritage and culture, the Harambee Institute invited the 2 African Eagles on Wednesday before classes began. As the 2 gamers strolled through the halls and offered high-fives to the kids blanketing the walls, numerous trainees exclaimed, “I’m never ever cleaning this hand once again!”

Evan Neal, the 7th total choice in the 2022 NFL Draft, has actually been the most significant draft bust in current memory for the Giants. He hasn’t played a routine season breeze for the Giants because the 2024 season, when he substituted Jermaine Eluemunor at best deal with. Eluemunor had actually initially been slated to play guard that year, however left to right take on when Neal suffered an injury in camp. The Giants then transformed Neal to safeguard in 2025, which was where he played in the 2026 off-season also, however he never ever discovered his method to the field on video game day.

Combing through the insights from NFL Pro for today’s video game versus the Philadelphia Eagles revealed something that truly amazed me, and it truly records how and why it seems like the offense is broken in a manner in which it hasn’t remained in a long period of time. Think about that the Cowboys have actually just scored 29 points over their two-game losing streak. Before we go even more, let’s state that going off of ‘points scored’ is casting a really, really, extremely unclear internet over things, however this bit is still fascinating. The 29 points that the Cowboys have actually scored in this two-game period are the least that they have actually scored in any two-game period where Dak Prescott began and ended up both video games in concern because Weeks 12 and 13 of the 2019 season.

In much better news, the Falcons have actually formally opened the 21-day practice window for OT Cameron Williams. Williams has actually been on hurt reserve with an ankle injury. Like A.J. Terrell– whose 21-day window opened previously today– Williams can be raised back to the active lineup at any point throughout stated window. Per league guidelines, if a gamer is not signed to the active lineup by the time the window closes, they go back to season-ending hurt reserve.

On Thursday, throughout his weekly interview, Detroit Lions unique groups organizer Dave Fipp informed press reporters the group was preparing to utilize freshly signed large receiver/returner DeAndre Carter (on the practice team) on punt and kick returns in Week 7 versus the Green Bay Packers. A couple of hours later on, the Lions revealed that Carter was promoted from the practice team to the active lineup.
