    Surgeon: Zach Ertz ‘not guaranteed' to be ready for opener

    Last week, after Chip Kelly announced Zach Ertz sustained a core muscle injury that would require surgery, the Eagles‘ head coach also painted an optimistic picture of the tight end’s availability by the season opener. The Eagles open Monday, Sept. 14, against the Falcons in Atlanta. “I think he’ll be back for Week 1,” Kelly said. “It will be a…

    Kiko Alonso practicing, but not fully through concussion protocol

    Reports that Eagles linebacker Kiko Alonso completely cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol were premature. Alonso returned to practice Tuesday for the first time since suffering a concussion two weeks earlier at an open practice at the Linc (see Eagles injury report). He participated in several drills, leading to reports that Alonso had passed through the league’s mandated concussion recovery...

    Andrew Gardner seizing top RG spot … but by default?

    As the hot, steamy dog days of Eagles training camp stretch into late August, we’re starting to get some answers to the questions that hovered around the team when camp opened Aug. 2. Sam Bradford has essentially seized control of the starting quarterback job over Mark Sanchez. Walter Thurmond and Nolan Carroll are closer to locking down the open spots…

    Chip Kelly won't ‘push panic button' on rocky Cody Parkey

    Let’s just set the record straight right now. Chip Kelly isn’t looking around for Cody Parkey’s replacement. Not after one measly preseason game. “No we’re not,” the Eagles‘ head coach said after his second-year kicker botched one field goal, one extra point and nearly missed another field goal in the Eagles’ 36-10 preseason win over the Colts at the...

    Instant Replay: Eagles 36, Colts 10

    BOX SCORE Mark Sanchez and Matt Barkley each led touchdown drives, Kenjon Barner found the end zone twice, Nelson Agholor caught his first NFL touchdown and Tim Tebow made his anticipated debut in the Eagles’ preseason opener. And, yes, Tebow scored a touchdown. The Eagles overcame an early three-point deficit and scored 26 straight points spanning the first and third…

    Chip Kelly: Sam Bradford sitting out Eagles' preseason opener

    Against his own wishes, Sam Bradford will have to wait another week before he plays in a preseason game. Eagles coach Chip Kelly said Friday that Bradford, who’s taken almost all of the first-team quarterback reps throughout training camp, won’t play in the preseason opener Sunday against the Colts at the Linc. Mark Sanchez will start, followed by Matt...

    Observations from Day 10 of Eagles training camp

    The Eagles conducted their 10th practice Thursday, a two-hour session in pads. They’ll probably be in shorts and shells for Friday’s shorter session. Here are my observations: 1. For the second straight day, Mark Sanchez pilfered some first-team reps from Sam Bradford. It’s possible the coaches are preparing Sanchez to start Sunday against the Colts but still making sure...

    Eagles Injury Report: No ILBs, no (surprise) DeMarco Murray

    It appears as if the Eagles’ vaunted three-man inside linebacker rotation of DeMeco Ryans, Kiko Alonso and Mychal Kendricks won’t be unveiled anytime soon. None of the three were practicing Thursday, with just Friday’s session and a Saturday walkthrough remaining before the Sunday preseason opener against the Colts at the Linc. Alonso sustained a concussion in the first open...

    Observations from Day 9 of Eagles training camp

    Another Eagles training camp practice is in the books. They have sessions Thursday and Friday before Sunday’s preseason game against the Colts at the Linc. Here are my observations: 1. DeMeco Ryans didn’t practice. Maintenance day was the word. That’s understandable given that Ryans is coming back from his second Achilles tear at 31. Still, it’s a little unsettling...
