In the college ranks, it’s fairly common for a player to switch over from one side of the ball to the other.
A wide receiver moving to defensive back, an offensive guard becoming a defensive tackle, and so on.
In the NFL, however, such maneuvers are rare. But that’s apparently not going to stop Chip Kelly from considering them.
The Eagles and tight end James Casey have agreed to terms on a three-year deal. How will Casey fit in, and what does it mean for other players on the roster? Here’s a look.
One thing we are learning about Chip Kelly is that he has very specific tastes when it comes to his personnel.
“He’s going to be very defined on the things that he’s looking for in players by positions,” said general manager Howie Roseman.… Read More
Here’s the All-22 look at what we saw from Nick Foles and the Eagles’ offense last week (when they weren’t fumbling, that is).
Clay Harbor has been placed on injured reserve with a lower back injury, the team announced Tuesday. No corresponding move has been made as of yet.
Harbor sustained a back contusion on Thursday night against the Bengals.
The third-year tight end out of Missouri State finishes the season with 25 receptions for 188 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He was the primary tight end against Cincinnati as Brent Celek sat out with a concussion, and caught three passes for 30 yards.
Celek has been cleared to return and is expected to play against the Redskins Sunday. In his absence the Eagles activated Emil Igwenagu, who will likely get some playing time against Washington now that Harbor is out.
From Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie’s future to Nick Foles’ interception, here are five leftovers from the Eagles’ locker room after their 34-13 loss to the Bengals.
From Brandon Graham to Vinny Curry to Bryce Brown, here’s a look at snap counts for the Eagles in Thursday night’s loss to the Bengals.
Here’s a look at Eagles snap counts from Sunday’s win over the Bucs. We’ll go position-by-position.
The Eagles are down yet another playmaker.
Brent Celek suffered a concussion on the very first play of the game against the Bucs Sunday. He is the third member of the offense to be sidelined by a head injury in recent weeks, joining Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy.
Celek was tackled by a pair of Tampa defenders after a modest gain and had trouble getting to his feet. He eventually walked off and was evaluated by trainers on the sidelines before heading inside.
Celek was replaced by Clay Harbor.
The offense has been ripped apart by injuries. Four-fifths of the offensive line is gone. Same with the starting quarterback, the starting running back and No. 1 wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who is on injured reserve with fractured ribs. And now, their tight end.
Nnamdi Asomugha left early in the second quarter with a neck and thigh injury. The veteran corner jumped up to make a play on the ball and was upended by Dallas Clark. Asomugha landed flat on his upper back and stayed down for some time before walking gingerly off the field.
