29/09/2024 Raymond 0

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay left Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an apparent injury, raising concerns for the team’s defensive depth. As the Eagles fell behind early, Slay’s absence was felt, especially given the questionable depth at cornerback, placing added pressure on rookie Quinyon Mitchell. Fortunately, Slay was able to return to the field, which was crucial for the Eagles as they sought to mount a comeback. Despite scoring a couple of touchdowns in the second half, a critical fumble by Jalen Hurts significantly hindered their chances of securing a win.

The Eagles aimed to improve to a 3-1 record, potentially placing them in first place in the NFC East for a short time, depending on the outcome of the Washington Commanders’ game. However, injuries to key players like AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Lane Johnson loomed large, shifting the burden onto Saquon Barkley and Dallas Goedert. The return of these crucial offensive players will be vital for the Eagles as they navigate a competitive NFC East landscape, even with a likely loss in this game.

Kenny Pickett is reportedly off to an impressive start with the Philadelphia Eagles. His departure from the Pittsburgh Steelers, after just a year and a half as their starting quarterback, was abrupt and tinged with disappointment. This past offseason saw significant changes: Russell Wilson joined the Steelers, and Pickett, seeking a fresh start, was traded to the Eagles. In return, the Steelers acquired Justin Fields to strengthen their quarterback lineup.

Although Pickett is not expected to vie for the starting position, he has been making notable plays during practice. Currently, the Eagles and Pickett appear to be enjoying a favorable beginning, much like the Steelers with their new quarterbacks, Wilson and Fields. The Eagles view Pickett as a potentially reliable backup who might one day reclaim a starting role in the NFL. His current performance in OTAs is promising, but consistency remains to be seen.

Eagles May Have Logical Trade Partner for James Bradberry

Despite a down year in 2023, 30-year-old James Bradberry remains a valuable veteran presence in the defensive backfield. “Adding the soon-to-be 31-year-old would give the Colts another starting option at cornerback and a good mentor for their young position group at the least,” noted Holder. The top cornerbacks on the Colts’ roster currently include Kenny Moore, JuJu Brents, and Dallis Flowers. While Moore, 28, has 89 starts over his seven-year career, Flowers and Brents have a combined total of just 13 starts. Given this lack of experience, Indianapolis could benefit from adding a seasoned player like Bradberry.

The Green Bay Packers are aiming to advance further in 2024, building on Jordan Love’s impressive first full season as starting quarterback. Love threw for over 4,000 yards and more than 30 touchdowns, bringing the team within three points of the NFC Championship game. For the Packers to become serious Super Bowl contenders this season, maintaining player health will be crucial. One of Love’s key targets from last year has some work ahead to be ready for the new season.

Packers tight end Tucker Kraft tore his pectoral muscle while bench pressing this offseason. The injury will keep him out of training camp as he recovers from surgery. Kraft explained to Bill Huber of Packers Central, “It was my last rep of the day on bench. Nothing crazy, not heavy weight. We were speed-benching and it just popped right off the bone.” This type of injury is commonly caused by bench pressing.

Saquon Barkley Reveals His Thoughts On Being With Eagles’ Offense

Over recent years, notable tension arose between the New York Giants and star running back Saquon Barkley over contract issues, with the team appearing willing to let him enter NFL free agency. Initially, it seemed Barkley would join the Houston Texans alongside quarterback C.J. Stroud, but he made a surprising decision to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles, a rival of the Giants. This move could significantly enhance the Eagles’ offense for the 2024 season.

In Philadelphia, Barkley joins an already talented offense, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts and supported by A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Parris Campbell, and tight end Dallas Goedert. Barkley commented on his new teammates during OTAs, noting, “You get a huddle Day 1, and it’s A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, Jalen Hurts…Not a bad group.” Despite past injuries, Barkley’s role in the Eagles’ dynamic and unpredictable offense is expected to bolster their NFC prospects significantly.

In the NFL draft, the Philadelphia Eagles strategically selected DeJean due to his impressive college career as a cornerback, showcasing versatility both outside and in the slot.
