Details on how much time Eagles’ Jordan Mailata will miss with a hamstring injury

Philadelphia Eagles star left tackle Jordan Mailata will miss a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury suffered in the win over the Browns

The Eagles appeared to have dodged a bullet on Sunday, as star left tackle Jordan Mailata will only miss a few weeks with a hamstring injury.

Head coach Nick Sirianni just provided the update on Mailata, who was forced to exit midway through the third quarter.  Mailata exited Lincoln Financial Field on crutches and with his legs wrapped.

Eagles All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown suffered a similar injury in Week 1 against the Packers and missed three games.

Backup right tackle Fred Johnson, who replaced the injured Lane Johnson in the lineup, could be inserted for Mailata. Philadelphia could also move Mekhi Becton to left tackle and insert Tyler Steen at right guard.

Mailata has allowed eight pressures on 162 pass plays this season, and his 89.8 PFF pass-blocking grade leads all offensive tackles.

Philadelphia Eagles star left tackle Jordan Mailata could miss time with a hamstring injury suffered in the win over the Cleveland Browns

Jordan Mailata is a tough guy, but it’s hard to envision the Eagles star left tackle being available for Week 7 after leaving Lincoln Financial Field on crutches.

Mailata played 49 snaps before exiting Philadelphia’s 20-16 win over Cleveland with a hamstring injury that could keep him out for weeks.

John Clark of NBC Sports reports that Mailata is undergoing an MRI on Monday to determine the severity.

Eagles limp into bye week after a 33-16 loss to the Buccaneers in Week 4

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a disastrous 33-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

With A.J. Brown (hamstring), DeVonta Smith (concussion), and Lane Johnson (concussion) out with injuries, the Eagles didn’t have enough depth in key positions. They suffered a disastrous 33-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Jalen Hurts was sacked six times on the afternoon, and the star quarterback committed another turnover (fumble), as Philadelphia could not sustain any offensive consistency without the big three in the lineup.

Saquon Barkley had ten carries for 84 yards (8.4 avg). Still, with the Eagles playing from behind all afternoon, the running back was unable to get the Philadelphia offense over the hump against a motivated Tampa defense.

An Eagles defense that shut New Orleans down in Week 3 was gashed to 445 total yards for the Buccaneers offense, including 111 rushing yards and a twelve-minute advantage in time of possession.

Baker Mayfield was on fire early, and even after an inefficient second half, he still was 30-40 passing for 347 yards, two touchdowns, and a 100.2 rating.

Philadelphia (2-2) will now have a week off, during which questions about Sirianni’s job security and the Eagles’ playoff hopes will dominate the airwaves.

A mic’d-up Jordan Mailata provided hysterical commentary on Dallas Goedert’s big Eagles reception

Jordan Mailata’s commentary here is hysterical.

The Philadelphia Eagles upset the New Orleans Saints in the Big Easy on Sunday, in big part thanks to a huge play from tight end Dallas Goedert.

However, no big play happens without good blocking up front. Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata kept quarterback Jalen Hurts upright in the pocket for him to get the pass off to Goedert, which is always commendable.

Mailata also wore a mic during Goedert’s big moment, which provided this absolutely hysterical, NSFW commentary that Philly fans are sure to love.

“Unhook the trailer!” has to be one of the best lines of the 2024 NFL season so far, as Mailata proved he’s as good at commentating as he is blocking.

Dennis Allen responds to C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s claim the Saints are a dirty team

C.J. Gardner Johnson called out the Saints for having a culture of cheap hits and playing dirty. Dennis Allen denied that notion:

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith took a hit from Khristian Boyd that led to him suffering the concussion. In that play, Smith was being pushed back by New Orleans Saints defenders before the hit. There didn’t seem to be ill intent involved.

After the game, Smith’s teammates C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Jordan Mailata called the play dirty. Mailata kept it at that, but Gardner-Johnson went further and connected the play to the culture of the team.

Dennis Allen responded to a question about the play, but his answer leans towards a response to Gardner-Johnson’s culture point. Allen was straightforward on Monday, saying, “I don’t think we play dirty. I don’t think we ever have played dirty. It’s not the way we coach it, not the way we teach it.”

Allen instead said his team plays hard, and honestly, that’s what the play looked like. Boyd appeared to just be playing through the whistle. You wish he would have let up in hindsight, but this doesn’t look dirty.

Allen made sure to dispel the notion that the Saints are a dirty team by reiterating “dirty” is an inaccurate description of how they play or coach.
