Eagles beat writer -- with occasional college hoops coverage -- for @inquirer.com‬. Otherwise I’m probably watching The West Wing and eating ice cream.
No DeVonta Smith (shoulder/chest) as the doors swing open for Eagles practice.

Here’s Nick Sirianni on not changing play callers, the five-man front thing, and the penalties: www.inquirer.com/eagles/siria...
Nick Sirianni says the Eagles are ‘searching for answers’ on offense, but Kevin Patullo will call plays

Worth noting, given the Drew Mukuba news, that Marcus Epps was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury on Nov. 1. The Eagles have only played three games since then, meaning Epps, even if he were healthy, would not be an option to play Friday.

Saquon Barkley said he’s “in a little funk.”

The Eagles lost for a lot of reasons Sunday, but their inability to run certainly showed up again: www.inquirer.com/eagles/saquo...

Drew Mukuba was helped into the Eagles’ locker room by Dom DiSandro and a team trainer. Had his right foot shoeless and didn’t put any pressure on it.

You just can't field a punt that deep.

Eagles failed to score there, but that was a brutal missed call on the DeVonta Smith OPI. Totally killed the drive. Would've been second-and-2 from Dallas' 35-yard line.
November 24, 2025 at 12:03 AM
That's Michael Carter II in the slot and Cooper DeJean outside. There's your answer on the outside corner depth chart. It's Adoree' Jackson and then Cooper DeJean.

“I feel like I am one of the best guys at 50-50 balls,” DeVonta Smith said in Green Bay. “My quarterback says he’s going to give me a chance. I take pride in that, to go make that play for him.”

Matt Hodge’s offense is showing, but what about his defense?

“Oh, it’s horrible,” Kevin Willard said.

Matt?

“Work to do.”

Like anything else in November, it’s a work in progress, but Wednesday again showed Villanova’s front court versatility: www.inquirer.com/college-spor...

“Lane Johnson is cemented in stone as one of the greats,” Fred Johnson said. “Fred Johnson is still trying to make a name for himself.”

Didn’t he do that last year?
