The Philadelphia Eagles are just days from starting the 2019 portion of training camp and the franchise has some impressive rookies, drafted and non-drafted to select from for roster spots. The big names like Andre Dillard and Miles Sanders are already front and center, but a few other Eagles rookies could find their way on the 53 man roster after strong camps. With Eagles football just hours away from returning, here are five rookies to watch this summer. Sua Opeta, Opeta is beginning his...

Season prep starts here.
Philadelphia Eagles training camp is almost here! This year’s entire schedule can be found below. Each day includes start time and media availability following the end of the practice. All times Eastern.
As a reminder, practices are closed to the public — EXCEPT for the one open practice date at Lincoln Financial Field (Sunday, August 4). So, stay tuned here to Bleeding Green Nation and we’ll do our best to make it feel like...
In today’s pass-happy NFL where the signal-callers reign supreme as the games true stars, only defensive ends, and cornerbacks come anywhere near the salary of their high profiled offensive counterparts. You can never have enough good pass rushers on your roster and the Houston Texans find themselves at odds with one of the NFL’s premier defensive ends/linebackers. We can get back to that whole defensive end thing later on, but for now, Jadeveon Clowney is a holdout in Houston, after...
Analytics is key in how you grade and value positions in the NFL and no skill group is subject to over analyzation like NFL quarterbacks. The king of positional grades, Pro Football Focus just dropped their ranking of the top-10 quarterbacks in the NFL entering the 2019 season. The names on the list are familiar, and once again, Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback, Carson Wentz, finishes behind Cleveland’s Baker Mayfield, not even making the top-10. The names on the list are all...
On Sunday, another big named media outlet tried their hand at forecasting the schedule for all 32 teams and once again, the Philadelphia Eagles were held in high regard. Using a formula based off hope and prior metrics, Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr came in with predictions for all 16 regular games and when it came to the NFC East, the Eagles were king finishing with 11 wins. EAGLES: 11–5* At first glance, their schedule is a little brutal. Trips to Minnesota, Green Bay, and Atlanta in...
The Philadelphia Eagles are set to report to training camp on Wednesday to start their journey towards another Super Bowl championship. The Birds are full of star power, but like every championship team before them, it’s the under the radar guys that will help get them over the edge. With training camp just days away, here are four under the radar players to watch.

Alshon Jeffery wants to deliver ‘another trophy’ to Eagles fans - PE.com
Wide receiver Alshon Jeffery evaluated the team’s offensive weapons and expectations for the season Saturday at the Hyundai Youth Football Camp. As Training Camp rapidly approaches and Jeffery starts his third season with the Eagles, he reflected on what the experience has been like so...
As the Philadelphia Eagles attempt to recapture their Super Bowl form, let’s compare the team’s 2019 defense to that of their 2017 counterparts. 2017 may very well go down as the best year in Philadelphia Eagles history; the year the team won it all for the very first time.

With a few late-offseason roster moves, the Eagles still have one spot left to fill ahead of training camp.
Tyreek Burwell (offensive tackle) retired and the team waived wide receiver Devin Ross before re-signing running back Darren Sproles to a one-year deal. That leaves one more spot to get to their 90-man roster heading into the preseason.
At this point, I think the offense is pretty well stacked. From having proven tight ends, to...

Philly’s RB room is young, but has a ton of potential with or without Darren Sproles.
Since Darren Sproles was re-signed to a one-year deal with the Eagles, there’s been a fairly heated debate about whether his roster spot — which is almost assuredly guaranteed among the final 53-man roster — was wasted on a 36-year-old running back who has spent the better part of the past two seasons on the sideline with injuries.
There are a...

7) Fletcher Cox, DT, Philadelphia Eagles: Eternally underrated. Well, not here. This marks the fifth straight year that Cox has held a spot on this list. And for good reason. He wrecks games in so many different ways along that Eagles’ defensive line. He’s a winner and a true...
Despite the low risk, the Philadelphia Eagles should have considered moving on from Darren Sproles instead of bringing him back on a one-year deal. Over the last few months, the speculation surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles seemed to be that Darren Sproles time with the team was over, and the veteran running back would take the […] Philadelphia Eagles should have moved on from Darren Sproles - Section 215 - Section 215 - A Philadelphia City Sports blog

Did the team make the right call?
Darren Sproles is officially a member of the Philadelphia Eagles once again. Now let’s try to answer some questions raised by his return.
Why did Darren Sproles want to keep playing?Sproles hardly NEEDS to keep playing football. He’s 36 years old. He has a family that lives out on the West Coast. He has a Super Bowl ring. He’s made $43,321,100 over the course of his career. He’s made NFL history by becoming...
The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Friday that they have agreed to a one-year deal to bring running back Darren Sproles back to the team for his 14th NFL season. Sproles will join a crowded backfield that features Jordan Howard, second-round pick Miles Sanders, and Corey Clement among others. With Howie Roseman pulling the trigger to bring Sproles back, here are four takeaways from the signing. Miles Sanders injury-plagued spring opened the door Sproles is obviously back to return punts...
Darren Sproles is coming back for at least one more year. The veteran is signing a one-year deal with the Eagles, the team announced on Twitter. Terms of the deal weren’t immediately disclosed. We heard back in May that Sproles was interested in returning for one more year but that he wanted to play with one of the teams he already had familiarity with, meaning the Chargers, Saints or Eagles. After Sproles only played in three games due to a broken arm and torn ACL in the Eagles’ Super...
Darren Sproles’ NFL career is not over just yet. The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Friday that they have agreed to a one-year deal with Sproles. Sproles has played in only nine games the past two seasons due to injuries. He missed most of the regular season last year due to his hamstring. Although he is 36, Sproles still scored three touchdowns last season — two receiving. He can serve as a special teams returner in addition to his work out of the backfield.
