Cheers to the Super Bowl winning defensive end and his impressive 10-year NFL career.

There are plenty of storylines for the Eagles heading into their Thursday night matchup against the Commanders, but notably, the team announced that former draft pick Vinny Curry will officially retire from the NFL and serve as the team’s honorary captain.

The defensive end was drafted by the Eagles in 2012 and went on to play six seasons in Philly before playing elsewhere. Curry was one of the salary cap victims coming off the Super Bowl victory, and ended up in Tampa Bay for one season...

Everything is going right for the Philadelphia Eagles at the moment. The Birds are on a five-game winning streak and enter Thursday night’s NFC East battle with the Washington Commanders as a four-point favorite. They are already on top of the division by a half-game and a win on Thursday would put them 1.5 games up with a head-to-head win over Washington. It’s no surprise that the Eagles are -210 on New Jersey sports betting apps to win the NFC East because of what is front of them on Thursday .

The cornerstones of the winning run have been a...

Opponent perspective on Philadelphia’s big NFC East matchup.

The Philadelphia Eagles are back at Lincoln Financial Field this week for a huge Thursday Night Football game against the Washington Commanders. It’s been quite some time since a matchup between these division rivals was so important for both teams.

In order to preview this Week 11 NFC East battle, I reached out to our enemies over at Hogs Haven. The astounding Andrew York kindly kindly took the time to answer my questions about this upcoming tilt. Let’s take a look at the answers. **[For my answers about the Eagles, stay tuned...

The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Washington Commanders in a matchup of seven-win teams on Thursday Night Football.

Both teams look like legit playoff teams with a chance to go far.

But there can only be one winner on Thursday, and Fox Sports analyst Danny Parkins believes the Eagles will win.

“Philly’s defense this year is shockingly good…Their pass defense is real,” Parkins said Thursday morning on Breakfast Ball.

Roob’s Obs: Putting Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean into context - NBCSP
1. It’s not easy to put into words just how rare it is for a team – especially a good team, a playoff contender – to start two rookie defensive backs. The Eagles have only had one rookie defensive back who was a full-time starter in the last 25 years – that was Nate Allen in 2010 and he was a functional safety but hardly a special player like Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper...

Here’s everything you need to know about the Eagles’ Week 11 ‘Thursday Night Football’ division game.

The Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) are on a five-game win streak, and are back at home in Week 11 to take on the Washington Commanders (7-3) on Thursday Night Football.

There was a quick turnaround heading into Thursday’s game, but thankfully, the Eagles beat the Cowboys so badly last week that some of the starters were able to get rest at the end of that game. Thanks to that win, the Eagles currently sit atop the NFC East, but it’s a close battle with the...

We’re back for another day of the Bleeding Green Nation in-5 daily trivia game, and we’re returning to our system of a new article each day for the game.

We tried using a single article for the game, updated with the latest game each day, but it was creating a bit of an unwieldy experience in the comments. So, we’ll have the current day’s game plus the previous three days in each new article. That way,...

Philadelphia’s No. 3 tight end was claimed off waivers.

Jack Stoll, who was waived by the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday to open a roster spot for the team to activate Jordan Mailata from injured reserve, was officially claimed by the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday.

The Dolphins had the No. 10 spot in the waiver wire claiming order, which mirrors the current 2025 NFL Draft order.

There was thought that Stoll might return to Philly on the Eagles’ practice squad if he passed through waivers unclaimed. Alas, that won’t be the case.

The Eagles are moving forward with just two tight...

Week 11 game status updates.

The Philadelphia Eagles issued their third and final official injury report on Wednesday in advance of their Week 11 home game against the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football.

The big news is that the Eagles officially activated Jordan Mailata from injured reserve.

The Eagles had an open roster spot after waiving Jack Stoll on Tuesday.

Mailata will start at left tackle after missing the Eagles’ last four games due to a hamstring injury. Fred Johnson did an admirable job filling in but Mailata is clearly a superior talent. The Eagles won’t have to use...

Philadelphia’s defense is facing a major test.

He has not supposed to be this good this fast. Jayden Daniels is probably trending even better than what Washington Commanders’ management thought through his first 10 games. Daniels is a major reason why Washington is an NFC East contender. The rest of the country will find out who Daniels is—and where the Eagles are, for that matter—Thursday night on national TV from Lincoln Financial Field.

Daniels’ play is a large reason why the Commanders are 7-3. Through 10 games, he has completed 180 of 262 for 68.7-percent and is 12th in the...
