The Eagles have three obvious positional needs. History says they’ll watch these players closely at next week’s combine.

The offensive trenches and a secondary playmaker could be on the Eagles' wish list as they head to the NFL Scouting Combine.

Sean Clifford was coached by Sean Mannion as a Packer. Here’s what he says Eagles fans should expect. The ex-Penn State QB praised the 33-year-old Mannion for his ability to connect with players and translate his own experience at the quarterback position.

"From the outside looking in, it’s probably the most surprising thing ever. But if you work with the guy, you know why he’s risen as fast as he’s risen"

‘Vintage’ Joel Embiid takes big step in the right direction with triple-double On the two-year anniversary of his 70-point outburst, Embiid totaled 32 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists in the 76ers’ thrilling overtime victory.

When I asked Joel Embiid if it was poetic that Thursday’s dominant performance came on the two-year anniversary of his 70-point game, I did not expect this answer:

“Maybe I should have a baby on Jan. 22.”

It was a “vintage” night for Embiid, in a so many ways.

How Jalyx Hunt went from an Ivy League safety to a pass rusher on the league’s best defense Hunt's collegiate career started with the Ivy League's least relevant program. His NFL career could produce the pass rusher's second Super Bowl ring in as many seasons.

Jalyx Hunt was a zero-star recruit out of HS who DoorDashed and took up other jobs to pay for training as he eyed his NFL dream.

"If I have to do this, is it really that feasible?"

How the former Ivy League safety became an ascending Eagles edge rusher:

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith’s toughness outweighs his undersized frame: ‘He’s small in stature, but he plays big’ No matter how hard Smith gets hit with his 6-foot, 170-pound frame, "he pops back up like he’s the biggest guy," teammate Jahan Dotson says. Those who know him best in Amite City, La. also agree.

DeVonta Smith had a hamstring injury in Super Bowl LIX. Aaron Moorehead asked him 4x if he was sure he wanted to run "The Dagger."

“He said, ‘If you don’t get the F out of my face, I’m running this route.’”

How undersized Smith developed his toughness:

A.J. Brown missed practice today with a hamstring injury.

We were kicked out after the stretch period at the beginning of practice. We will get a longer look tomorrow. The edge rushers do individual drills pretty far away from where we're allowed to stand, though.

I did not see Cam Jurgens (knee), Azeez Ojulari (hamstring), or Adoree' Jackson (concussion) at Eagles practice.

A.J. Brown and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. (ankle) were sidelined.

Grant Calcaterra (oblique) was practicing.

Brandon Graham is back in an Eagles uniform:

The Eagles are looking to bounce back from back-to-back losses, but will have to go through a familiar face in Carson Wentz in order to do so.

Five trade targets for depleted Eagles edge rusher corps, from Trey Hendrickson to Jermaine Johnson Za'Darius Smith retired on Monday, leaving the Eagles have just four healthy edge rushers. With trade deadline is three weeks away, Howie Roseman could get active for an impactful edge defender.

Five trade targets for depleted Eagles edge rusher corps, from Trey Hendrickson to Jermaine Johnson www.inquirer.com/eagles/edge-...

Nick Sirianni said he found out about Za'Darius Smith's retirement this morning.

"I wish him the best. I really enjoyed having him on this football team."

He expressed "a lot of confidence" in the remaining corps of edge rushers. Mentioned Jalyx Hunt by name.

Eagles’ Za’Darius Smith announces retirement after 11 NFL seasons The 33-year-old pass rusher, who signed with the Eagles on Sept. 5, wrote on Instagram that he “knew this day would come — but now that it’s here, I’m feeling so many emotions I never expected."

Quinyon Mitchell is blossoming in his second season with the Eagles in a new ‘badge of honor’ role Mitchell is traveling with opposing team's top receivers this season and excelling in his new role. “He’s fearless out on the football field," teammate and fellow 2024 draft pick Cooper DeJean said.

According to Adoree' Jackson, traveling requires a cornerback to possess a pair of traits: "A little bit of confidence and some ‘fuck it.’"

Quinyon Mitchell isn't lacking in either. Why the second-year cornerback is blossoming in his new role: www.inquirer.com/eagles/quiny...

The rumors are true: it's warm!

CB Adoree' Jackson is listed as doubtful to play against the Buccaneers with a groin injury. He was a limited participant in practice today.

Everyone else on the Eagles' active roster is good to go for Sunday.

Friday footwork with DeVonta Smith.

Everyone on the Eagles' active roster was present for the start of Friday's practice, including Zack Baun (knee), Jihaad Campbell (triceps), Adoree' Jackson (groin), and Lane Johnson (stinger).

Eagles depart later today for Tampa.

Jordan Davis has ascended into an every-down role for the Eagles: ‘He’s not living in a box anymore’ Last October, Davis told his trainer, mom, and agent that he was ready to get “locked into the process” and be a more impactful and consistent player. He is living up to that promise so far in 2025.

Jihaad Campbell (triceps) going through individual drills today. He has a brace on his left arm:

Lane Johnson (neck) continues to practice.

Zack Baun (knee) is present for #Eagles practice today. He did not participate yesterday.

Lots of #Eagles roster moves:

- Nolan Smith, Jakorian Bennett, and Darius Cooper to IR
- Marcus Epps, Cam Latu, and Parry Nickerson signed to the active roster
- LB Lance Dixon, CB Eli Ricks, and WR Quez Watkins signed to the practice squad

A.J. Brown said he heard the "A-O" chant after his first eight-yard reception on an out route. Said it fired him up.

"That was a great idea by me."
