WATCH: Fletcher Cox raves about Nick Sirianni while explaining how ‘all he does is win’

Fletcher Cox praised Nick Sirianni on Tuesday, telling Kay Adams that all the Eagles coach does is win

Nick Sirianni entered the 2024 NFL season on the hot seat after Philadelphia lost six of its final seven games, including a blowout to Tampa Bay in the NFC Wild Card game. What followed was the firing of both coordinators, who were replaced by Kellen Moore (OC) and Vic Fangio (DC).

The Eagles made a few moves in free agency, including signing Saquon Barkley to a three-year deal. Howie Roseman landed two stars with the first two draft picks, and the Birds entered the season with huge expectations.

A 2-2 start led to some talk of Sirianni needing to be fired, but all Philadelphia has done since then is win five straight games, with both the offense and defense playing at high levels. Former Eagles star Fletcher Cox was a guest on Up with Adams and told Kay Adams that all Sirianni does is win.

During his tenure as head coach, Sirianni has guided Philadelphia to five winning streaks of five or more games. No other NFL team has logged more five-game winning streaks since the 2022 season. Sirianni’s .683 (41-19) winning percentage is the 9th-best career mark in NFL history and ranks 2nd among active head coaches, trailing only Jim Harbaugh (.692, 50-22-1). It is the highest winning percentage ever by an Eagles head coach and ranks 3rd in the NFL since 2021, behind Andy Reid (.767, 46-14) and Sean McDermott (.717, 43-17). Philadelphia is tied for the 3rd-best home winning percentage (.762, 16-5) in the league since 2022, trailing only Buffalo (.857, 18-3) and Kansas City (.773, 17-5) in that span. Including playoffs, the Eagles are 11-3 (.786) in their last 14 games at Lincoln Financial Field.

Eagles open the practice window for TE Albert Okwuegbunam

The Philadelphia Eagles opened up the 21 day practice window for tight tend Albert Okwuegbunam

The Eagles could lose Dallas Goedert for multiple weeks, but they’re getting some athleticism back on the roster with Albert Okweugbunam’s return to practice.

Philadelphia announced that his 21-day practice window has been opened.

The Eagles have three weeks to put the athletic tight end on the active roster or put him on season-ending injured reserve.

Philadelphia acquired Okwuegbunam from Denver after the 2023 preseason finale that saw the versatile tight end catch seven passes for 109 yards and a touchdown. But the Broncos didn’t have room for him on their roster, so they made a deal with the Eagles.

Philadelphia traded a 2025 sixth-round pick and a 2025 seventh-rounder to the Broncos last August and decided not to utilize the pass catcher at all the previous seasons under offensive coordinator Brian Johnson.

A fourth-round pick out of Missouri, Okweugbunam was targeted just once in four games of action last season and did not have a catch.

Eagles sign CB Parry Nickerson to the practice squad

Eagles sign CB Parry Nickerson to the practice squad

The Eagles brought back a familiar face, signing cornerback Parry Nickerson to the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the New York Giants.

Nickerson was one of the final cuts before the 53-man roster trim-down.

Nickerson is a veteran defensive back with experience in the slot. Last season, he played for the Eagles’ Defensive Coordinator, Vic Fangio, in Miami.

Eagles sign a veteran tight end ahead of matchup vs. Browns in Week 6

The Philadelphia Eagles have released Caden Sterns and signed C.J. Uzomah to the practice squad

The Eagles announced two practice squad moves on Thursday, releasing veteran safety Caden Sterns, and signing tight end C.J. Uzomah.

Philadelphia is preparing for a matchup against the Cleveland Browns, and are as healthy as they’ve been since training camp.

Uzomah was released by the Jets in March, saving the team about $5.3 million on their salary cap. The 31-year-old was scheduled to count $11.2 million against the Jets’ cap.

The veteran tight end was signed to a one-year deal back in April.

Devin White to miss Eagles game vs. Buccaneers due to personal reasons

Devin White to miss Eagles game vs. Buccaneers due to personal reasons

Devin White has been a healthy scratch for the first three games of Philadelphia’s season, and with the Eagles heading to Tampa Bay for a Week 4 matchup, the veteran linebacker won’t be making the trip.

White will again be a healthy scratch, this time for personal reasons.

With White not even making the trip, Philadelphia could be exploring a potential trade or outright release of the linebacker.

The Eagles have had Nakobe Dean and Zach Baun starting the first three games, and Baun has been one of the most impressive linebackers in the NFL through the first three weeks.

Saquon Barkley, Eagles defense carry Philadelphia to 15-12 win over undefeated Saints

Saquon Barkley and the Eagles defense leads Philadelphia to 15-12 win over undefeated New Orleans Saints

Saquon Barkley logged 17 carries for 147 yards (8.6 avg) and one touchdown, and the Eagles defense held the Saints to 219 total yards on 55 offensive plays, as Philadelphia moved to 2-1 on the season without several key starters.

A.J. Brown was already ruled out, but Philadelphia lost Lane Johnson (concussion), DeVonta Smith (concussion), Mekhi Becton, and Britain Covey, but still managed to hold on for a much-needed win amid four quarters of adversity.

Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert made a list of players who needed to step up, and he responded with ten catches for 170 yards and one touchdown.

Philadelphia will head to Tampa Bay in Week Four for an intriguing matchup against the 2-1 Buccaneers before the Week 5 bye.

Eagles rule A.J. Brown out for Week 3; C.J. Gardner-Johnson is questionable vs. Saints

C.J. Gardner-Johnson listed as questionable for Eagles game vs. Saints, while A.J. Brown was ruled out

The Eagles will be without All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday. The team ruled out Brown with a hamstring injury after he did not practice all week.

Star safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson is listed as questionable after suffering a foot injury earlier this week, and he’ll be a game-time decision.

Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore expressed confidence in the team’s ability to generate explosive plays despite missing someone of Brown’s caliber.

“Yeah, no doubt. No doubt, obviously,” Moore said. “I think we still have guys who can separate and give us some vertical components to our offense, obviously something that we’ve just got to keep aware of, how can we continue to find those opportunities.

Rookie wide receiver Johnny Wilson, who did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday with a hamstring injury, returned to action on Friday and is good to go for the Saints game.

The gameday inactive will be announced shortly.

Isaiah Rodgers, Devin White return to Eagles practice ahead of Week 2

The Eagles returned to practice on Wednesday, and reinforcements returned to the lineup ahead of Monday night’s huge matchup against the Falcons.

Milton Williams was listed as a limited participant on Thursday, but Isaiah Rodgers and Devin White returned to practice and were full participants.

https://Twitter.com/Eagles/status/1834344243433013358

Rodgers suffered a hand injury on the final day of training camp and missed the first game of the season, while Devin White suffered an ankle injury and was inactive in Week 1.

For the Falcons, Nate Landman and Antonio Hamilton Sr. were held out of practice Thursday, while the right tackle of Kaleb McGary (groin) was limited.

WATCH: Devin White has a strong response to Vic Fangio naming Nakobe Dean the starter

WATCH: Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Devin White offers a strong response to Vic Fangio naming Nakobe Dean starter

Nakobe Dean spent the off-season and summer saying all the right things about his recovery from a foot injury that ended his 2023 season prematurely. For most of the training camp, the idea was that Dean might lose his job to Devin White.

White exited Tampa Bay for Philadelphia with the hope of retooling his career while becoming the missing piece that gets this Eagles team over the Super Bowl hump.  During the summer, it looked like White had shown he was the best linebacker on the roster while assuming a leadership role, resulting in the former Buccaneers star becoming a defensive general.

White, a 2024 free agent signing, talked about being a team leader and upgrading Philadelphia’s linebacker position.

White missed the season opener with a foot injury, and his status for Week 2 is uncertain. However, after Vic Fangio clarified that Dean is his starter, it won’t matter.

A visibly frustrated White addressed Fangio’s comments and more before the Eagles’ Thursday practice.

Dean and Fangio’s favorite Zack Baun held down the fort on defense, with the former Saints linebacker logging 15 tackles, two sacks, one tackle for loss, and 2 QB hits. Dean was solid, logging four tackles, one tackle for loss, and one pass defended.

They’ll need to be even more dynamic in Week 2, with Falcons star running back Bijan Robinson heading to Philadelphia.
