Philadelphia Eagles

• LB Ben VanSumeren was signed from the practice squad to the active roster.
• CB Josiah Scott and WR Cam Sims were signed to the practice squad.
• WR Greg Ward was released from the practice squad.

I hope Ward gets another chance somewhere. Not the best receiver but he seemed like a good dude with some potential.

He will also be an honorary captain for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

That’s all, another gritty win. Love it

Guys this is probably the most important post I've ever made on this community

Basically title. I'm curious how others are watch the game. I cut cable a long time ago, and have Hulu live for this season, but it's just awful. Their app sucks, the unskippable ads are all over the place, and tonight it started recording at 4:30.

So what is everyone else using?

During halftime of Sunday’s win against the Washington Commanders, Gainwell received a direct message on Instagram stating, “Hold on to the football you [bleeping] bum.” He replied, “Lil boy don’t text me.” The fan surfaced a screenshot of his interaction across social media, which caused the coaching staff to address the issue with Gainwell after the game.

Highlights: A dejected Jalen Hurts walked into an Alabama assistant coach’s office without knowing where to turn.

The Sunday before the start of the 2018 college football season, Hurts had just lost the starting quarterback job to Tua Tagovailoa after an offseason battle. He’d been through the wringer, getting benched in the national championship game the year before despite going 26-2 as a starter and watching as Tagovailoa led the Crimson Tide to a title.

Hurts went to then-Alabama offensive coordinator Mike Locksley with a complicated question presented in a simple package.

“What do I do now?”

“That was the first time I ever saw him emotional,” Locksley said. “He was in tears, he walked into my office and said, ‘What do I do now? I’m 26-2 as a starter and I just lost my job. What do I do?’ I didn’t have a great answer for him other than, ‘I don’t know why this happened now, but I guarantee you that this will benefit you down the road in life, whether it’s in football or in life in general. … Utilize this opportunity.’ And there’s no doubt he did.”

Hurts and Tagovailoa will meet for the first time as NFL quarterbacks on Sunday when the Miami Dolphins travel to Lincoln Financial Field to face the Eagles.

Hurts’ decision to stay at Alabama for the 2018 season as Tagovailoa’s backup proved instrumental. Saban’s pitch to Hurts for staying rather than transferring was getting a chance to focus on taking the necessary strides as a passer and a processor to go with the dynamic ability that has helped make him a self-proclaimed “triple threat” who can beat teams with his arm, his legs, and his mind.

The Eagles will be without safety Reed Blankenship and cornerback Bradley Roby on Sunday night when they host the Miami Dolphins in a Week 7 matchup involving first-place teams. Blankenship (ribs) and Roby (shoulder) did not practice this week, and the team ruled them out Friday.

Meanwhile, right tackle Lane Johnson (ankle), wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring), and tight end Dallas Goedert (groin) are expected to play against the Dolphins after they all were limited participants throughout the week.

Cornerback Darius Slay (knee) and rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter (ankle) also will be back in the lineup, marking their return from their one-game absence, while the team regains rookie Sydney Brown, who missed the past three weeks with a hamstring injury.
