Report: Rams remain interested in Eagles WR A.J. Brown

Posted on | by Field Level Media

After signing wide receiver Davante Adams last offseason, the Los Angeles Rams remain interested in adding another veteran wideout in the Philadelphia Eagles’ A.J. Brown, The Athletic reported Friday.

The Rams and New England Patriots are reported to be interested in trading for Brown, who helped the Eagles to a Super Bowl title after the 2024 season but expressed frustration during the team’s 11-6 season in 2025.

Philadelphia lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the wild-card round.

While the Rams signed Adams as a free agent last March, he previously was traded from the Green Bay Packers to the Las Vegas Raiders before the 2022 season for a first-round and second-round pick. The Eagles reportedly are looking for a similar return for the 28-year-old Brown.

A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Brown had 78 receptions for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games (all starts) last season. In seven seasons for the Tennessee Titans (2019-21) and Eagles, Brown has 524 receptions for 8,029 yards and 56 TDs in 105 games (97 starts).

He has played in 13 career playoff games, catching 44 passes for 623 yards and five TDs.

Report: Eagles sign P Braden Mann to $14M extension

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing punter Braden Mann to a four-year, $14 million extension that includes $7 million guaranteed, ESPN reported Thursday.

Mann, 28, is entering his fourth season with the Eagles after playing his first three seasons with the New York Jets, who drafted him in the sixth round in 2020.

The $3.5 million average annual salary is tied for fifth at his position, and only six other punters have signed deals with more guaranteed money, per ESPN.

Mann ranked fifth in the league with a career-high average of 49.9 yards per punt last season (43.1 net), placing 20 of 72 punts inside the 20-yard line.

Report: Eagles, DT Jordan Davis reach 3-year extension

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles and defensive tackle Jordan Davis agreed on a three-year contract extension that makes him the highest-paid nose tackle in NFL history, ESPN reported Saturday.

The contract extension worth $78 million, including $65 million guaranteed, keeps Davis in Philadelphia for four more seasons.

Davis, the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, had been set to enter 2026 making a guaranteed $12.9 million from a fifth-year option picked up prior to last season.

Davis, 26, has started every game over the past three seasons for Philadelphia, including the Super Bowl LIX win against the Kansas City Chiefs in February 2025.

He has recorded 8.0 sacks, 162 tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 64 career regular-season games (56 starts). He added one sack each in the 2024 NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders and in Super Bowl LIX. He also had six tackles in Philadelphia’s wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers last season.

Eagles OL coach Jeff Stoutland to vacate role on staff

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles offensive line coach and run game coordinator Jeff Stoutland announced Wednesday that he will vacate his longtime role as new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion arrives.

“Philadelphia, I’ve decided my time coaching with the Eagles has come to an end,” Stoutland posted to X. “When I arrived here in 2013, I did not know what I was signing up for. I quickly learned what this city demands. But more importantly, what it gives back.

“The past 13 years have been the great privilege of my coaching career. I didn’t just work here, I became one of you. Stout out.”

Stoutland, 63, was exclusively a college coach before joining the Eagles’ staff in 2013 after serving as the offensive line coach at Alabama. Philadelphia went to the playoffs eight times during his run with the team and won two Super Bowls.

According to NFL Network, Stoutland will not completely sever ties with the organization, although no future role was specified.

Eagles RT Lane Johnson ruled out vs. 49ers

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Despite making progress this week after dealing with a foot injury, Philadelphia Eagles starting right tackle Lane Johnson was ruled out of Sunday’s wild-card round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.

The six-time Pro Bowl selection, who missed the Eagles’ last seven games with a Lisfranc injury, returned to practice Wednesday.

Fred Johnson, 28, has played in place of Lane Johnson over the last seven games.

Lane Johnson, 35, last suited up for a game on Nov. 16, however he played only 14 snaps before being ruled out against the Detroit Lions.

It has been a painful year for the two-time Super Bowl champion and two-time first-team All-Pro, who is in his 13th season with Philadelphia. He previously dealt with neck, shoulder and ankle injuries but has started 10 games for the Eagles.

Lane Johnson has started 168 regular-season games and 15 playoff contests since Philadelphia drafted him with the No. 4 overall pick in 2013.

The Eagles’ other inactives are offensive lineman Brett Toth (concussion), linebacker Joshua Uche, cornerback Jakorian Bennett, running back A.J. Dillon and defensive tackle Ty Robinson.

The Eagles (11-6) face the 49ers (12-5) knowing that a victory would secure a road game in the divisional round against the Chicago Bears.

Eagles dominate Raiders for first shutout since 2018

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Jalen Hurts threw two of his three touchdown passes to Dallas Goedert and the Philadelphia Eagles halted a three-game skid with a 31-0 victory over the visiting Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

The NFC East-leading Eagles (9-5) recorded their first shutout since the 2018 season and handed the Raiders (2-12) their eighth straight loss.

Coming off a miserable Monday night with four interceptions against the Los Angeles Chargers, Hurts also threw a TD pass to A.J. Brown and finished with 175 yards on 12-of-15 passing with no turnovers before leaving early in the fourth quarter.

Goedert, who also dropped a wide-open pass in the end zone in the first half, had six catches for 70 yards and his eighth and ninth TDs of the season. Saquon Barkley ran for 78 yards and a score and 37-year-old Brandon Graham, who came out of retirement last month, tallied two of the Eagles’ four sacks.

Kenny Pickett, who won a Super Bowl ring with the Eagles last season, made his first start for the Raiders in place of the injured Geno Smith. He became the seventh starting quarterback for Las Vegas since 2023.

Pickett completed 15 of 25 passes for 64 yards with one interception. Ashton Jeanty rushed for 35 yards and Brock Bowers had 28 yards on six catches. Maxx Crosby collected his 10th sack of the season.

The Raiders were outgained 387-75 by the Eagles, who dominated time of possession 39:25 to 20:35 and posted their first shutout since a 24-0 win on Dec. 30, 2018, at Washington.

Philadelphia started the game with a 13-play touchdown drive, capped by Hurts’ 4-yard shovel pass to Goedert.

The Eagles had first-and-goal at the 5 on their second possession before settling for Jake Elliott’s 27-yard field goal.

Barkley’s 2-yard TD run after the two-minute warning finished off an 11-play drive and made it 17-0 at halftime.

Pickett was picked off by Zack Baun to start the second half and the Eagles capitalized with another 4-yard shovel pass from Hurts to Goedert.

On the first play of the fourth quarter, Hurts hit Brown with a 27-yard touchdown pass to make it 31-0.

The Raiders, who opened the season by beating New England, have not won since Oct. 12 against Tennessee.

Reports: Eagles RT Lane Johnson (foot) heading to IR

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson is going on injured reserve with a Lisfranc sprain in his foot, multiple outlets reported Monday.

The injury could sideline the six-time Pro Bowl selection for four to six weeks, per NFL Network.

The IR move means he would miss at least the next four games: Week 12 at Dallas, Week 13 vs. Chicago, Week 14 at Los Angeles Chargers and Week 15 vs. Las Vegas.

Johnson, 35, started Sunday night’s 16-9 win against the Detroit Lions but played only 14 snaps before being ruled out for the game.

It has been a painful year for the two-time Super Bowl champion and two-time first-team All-Pro, who is in his 13th season with Philadelphia. He previously dealt with neck, shoulder and ankle injuries but has started all 10 games for the NFC East-leading Eagles (8-2).

Fred Johnson, 28, has played well in Lane Johnson’s absences this season and will likely be in the starting lineup for Sunday’s visit with the rival Cowboys.

Lane Johnson has started 168 regular-season games and 15 playoff contests since Philadelphia drafted him with the No. 4 overall pick in 2013.

Reports: Eagles CB Jaire Alexander steps away from football

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Jaire Alexander has stepped away from football to focus on his mental and physical health while still recovering from offseason knee surgery, multiple outlets reported.

Alexander did not travel with the team for Monday night’s game at Green Bay and informed the Eagles of his plans on Tuesday, per reports.

On Wednesday, Alexander was placed on the reserve/retired list. The Eagles activated cornerback Jakorian Bennett from injured reserve as well.

Alexander, 28, has appeared in just two games this season. He suited up for the Baltimore Ravens in Weeks 1 and 5 before being traded to the Eagles on Nov. 1.

A two-time Pro Bowl selection in 2020 and 2022, Alexander underwent surgery on his right knee in January.

A first-round pick (18th overall) by Green Bay in 2018, Alexander has 12 interceptions, 70 passes defensed and 292 tackles in 80 career games (76 starts) with the Packers (2018-24), Ravens and Eagles.

Jalen Hurts throws for 3 TDs, perfect rating as Eagles outlast Vikings

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Jalen Hurts tossed three touchdowns, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith both had big games and the Philadelphia Eagles held off the Minnesota Vikings for a 28-22 victory on Sunday in Minneapolis.

The Eagles (5-2) ended a two-game skid as Hurts racked up a season-high 326 yards on 19-of-23 passing for a perfect passer rating of 158.3. Brown caught four passes for 121 yards and two TDs and Smith set a career high with 183 yards and a score.

Losing to the quarterback who replaced him in Philadelphia in 2020, Carson Wentz threw for 313 yards but had two interceptions as the Vikings (3-3) repeatedly stalled in the red zone. Will Reichard kicked five field goals for Minnesota and Jordan Addison caught nine passes for 128 yards.

After Reichard’s 35-yarder cut the Eagles’ lead to two with 10:06 left, Hurts’ 26-yard TD to Brown made it 28-19 with 6:35 to play.

With fourth-and-goal at the 11 and 1:57 left, the Vikings opted for a 29-yard Reichard field goal to make it 28-22 but they never regained possession.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni improved to 9-0 against NFC North teams, including playoffs, since taking over in 2021.

Both teams scored on their opening possessions. Capping a 12-play, 75-yard drive that took 8:01 off the clock, Hurts lofted a 37-yard TD to Brown on fourth down.

Minnesota got to the red zone before a third-down snap sailed over Wentz’s head. Reichard salvaged the drive with a 59-yard field goal.

Wentz was intercepted twice in the second quarter, with Jalyx Hunt returning the first one 42 yards for a TD and a 14-3 lead.

Justin Jefferson’s 40-yard grab put the Vikings back in the red zone, where a penalty nullified a touchdown and Reichard hit a 34-yarder to make it 14-6.

Both sides scored on their first drives of the second half. Minnesota stalled inside the red zone again and settled for Reichard’s 28-yard field goal. Two plays later, Smith scored the longest TD of his career on a 79-yard pass from Hurts for a 21-9 lead.

Minnesota finally found paydirt on its fourth trip to the red zone on Jordan Mason’s 1-yard run to pull within 21-16 with 3:38 left in the third.

Giants hunt for first Thursday win in a decade with Eagles in town

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles look to rebound from their first loss since last December when they visit a New York Giants team that hasn’t won a Thursday game in a decade.

The Eagles (4-1) have won their last three Thursday night contests under coach Nick Sirianni, while the Giants (1-4) are 0-10 on Thursday under their last four head coaches.

Current coach Brian Daboll is 0-4, while predecessors Joe Judge, Pat Shurmur and Ben McAdoo were each 0-2. New York’s last win on the short week — a 32-21 victory over Washington in 2015 — came during Tom Coughlin’s final season on the sideline.

That’s just one of the storylines for this prime-time NFC East clash, which is also the second trip back to MetLife Stadium for Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and the division debut for Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.

Ahead 17-3 entering the fourth quarter last week, Philadelphia was on its way to a franchise-record 11th straight win before the Denver Broncos stampeded to a stunning 21-17 upset.

Barkley rushed only six times, his fewest carries in a game since Week 11 of 2021 when he was with the Giants. He did score against Denver on a 47-yard pass play, the longest by an Eagles running back since 2016, but is far off the pace of his dominant 2024 campaign.

“I don’t really know what you want,” Barkley said after the loss. “If I touch the ball too much sometimes, we’re not throwing enough. If we throw it too much and I only have nine touches — I’m not in the business of ‘what are we doing enough?’ I’m in the business of winning football games.”

Perhaps a return to his old stomping grounds will jumpstart Barkley, who ranks 22nd in the NFL with 267 rushing yards. In his first game back in East Rutherford, N.J., he carried 17 times for 176 yards and a touchdown in a 28-3 win over the Giants in Week 7 last season.

“Obviously, with Saquon, he’s going to be juiced up, ready to go Thursday night here,” said Giants defensive coordinator Shane Bowen. “So, it starts there, and then we got to make sure we do a good job handling these playmakers on the perimeter. They’re going to find ways to get them the ball. They always do.”

Barkley, who showed up on Monday’s injury report with a knee issue, needs 11 scrimmage yards to become the first player from the 2018 draft class to reach 10,000.

As for the Giants, the focus is on their latest first-round pick. Dart won his home debut against the Los Angeles Chargers in his first NFL start in Week 4 and built a 14-3 lead last weekend at New Orleans before the Saints scored the game’s final 23 points.

He is excited about facing his first NFC East opponent and the defending Super Bowl champion.

“Obviously, divisional games hold a little more weight,” Dart said. “Understanding the history of this matchup and the intensity of it carries weight as well. I’m really just excited to get out there on the field Thursday night and have a lot of fun competing. It’s going to be a really cool environment.”

Dart was a full participant in Tuesday’s practice after being listed as limited Monday with a hamstring issue. Right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (back) and wideout Darius Slayton (hamstring) did not practice Tuesday.

Barkley was a limited participant for the Eagles on Tuesday. Tight end Grant Calcaterra (oblique) and left guard Landon Dickerson (ankle) did not participate and are unlikely to be ready by Thursday. Linebacker Jihaad Campbell (biceps) and defensive tackle Byron Young (triceps) were limited.

The Eagles have won seven of the last eight meetings, including the playoffs.
