Join Tim and Sheil for a live chat as the Eagles take on the Panthers Monday night. Kickoff is set for 8:30.

The following Eagles are inactive for tonight’s matchup against the Carolina Panthers: Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy, Chris Polk, Jason Avant, Greg Salas, Nate Menkin and Phillip Hunt.

The Eagles have made another front-office move, parting ways with Senior Vice President Tim McDermott.

“Tim McDermott is no longer with the Philadelphia Eagles organization,” the Eagles said in a statement. ” Tim’s departure was amicable, and the Eagles thank him for his work, value his past contributions, and wish him well in his future endeavors.  The Eagles will not have any further comment on this matter.”

The questions were posed flatly to Bryce Brown, and answered honestly:

Would you say football is a raging passion for you?

“No, I wouldn’t say. I wouldn’t say that at all,” said Brown.  “I love football, it’s a wonderful opportunity. I acknowledge that and know that. But I don’t think it’s my highlight. I don’t think it’s end-all for me. You know, it’s football.”

So this is not an all-consuming type of thing for you.

“Right.”

You look at it kind of like a business?

“Absolutely.”

Taken at face value, these comments could set off an alarm or two. But a little more digging offers insight into what makes the enigmatic Brown tick.

Here’s a roundup of what the national media are saying about tonight’s Eagles-Panthers game.

SI.com’s Peter King recently released a list of 15 potential head-coaching candidates, some of whom could interest the Eagles.

As the Eagles play out their final six games, here’s a roundup of the latest coaching buzz, with updates on Chip Kelly and Bill O’Brien, along with the search for the next John Harbaugh.

From updated draft position to the future of the offensive line, here are 10 things to know about how the Eagles’ offense matches up with the Panthers’ defense.

It was dangerous to make any sweeping judgments about Nick Foles after a few preseason games. It is equally dangerous to label him following six-plus quarters of regular-season play.

That hasn’t stopped a whole slew of fans and pundits alike from jumping right off the Foles train, of course. From Chosen One to just another bum, in 90 minutes flat.

Before you write him off completely, take a look at how the other rookie quarterbacks performed in their first starts this season:

From draft positioning to the future of the Eagles’ secondary, here are 10 things to know about how the Birds’ defense matches up with the Panthers’ offense.

If nothing else, Eagles players have stayed on message over the past two seasons. They entered the 2011 campaign  bullish about the assembled talent (along with just about everybody else). And, despite an 11-15 record since, some continue to tout the team’s potency.

As the 3-7 Eagles get set to take on the 2-8 Panthers in a showdown of the two worst teams in the NFC, here is a “best-0f” compilation of quotes that prove confidence is not the issue on this club.

LeSean McCoy doesn’t like to take a breather.

He’s played 610 snaps on the season, the most of any running back in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus. McCoy led the league in playing time last year as well.

But on Monday night, the Eagles will see what life’s like without McCoy, as the running back continues to recover from a concussion he sustained during the final two minutes of last week’s loss to the Redskins. McCoy just turned 24 in July. He’ll continue to carry the load for years to come. But it’s still important for the Eagles to find the right back to complement his talents.

Enter Bryce Brown.

The news on Michael Vick Saturday was very positive. He is now symptom free and has moved into Phase 3 of the Eagles’ concussion program, where he can resume normal lifting with the strength coaches and take part in more intense workouts. Head trainer Rick Burkholder anticipates that Vick will return to non-contact football-related activities as early as Sunday.

While he still needs to pass the IMPACT test and be cleared by both an independent neurologist and team doctors, it is conceivable that Vick will be healthy enough to play in the near future.

The Eagles — and Vick — must decide on how to proceed from there.

Running back LeSean McCoy and quarterback Michael Vick have both been officially ruled out for Monday night’s game against the Panthers.

McCoy is still feeling symptoms from a concussion he sustained in the final two minutes of last week’s loss to the Redskins, head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder said today.

“He’s got a headache. He’s got periodic dizziness with exertion, so we’re not exercising him. But if he goes up and down steps too fast or tries to pick up his baby, that kind of thing, he gets a little fuzzy,” Burkholder said. “It’s not nearly as bad as it was in Washington, but it’s still there. Very fatigued. He’s got some sleep issues where he sleeps a lot and then he’s awake and then he can’t get back to sleep – that kind of thing. One of the things that he complains about is sensitivity to noise. Just noise in general is bothering him.”
