Philadelphia made a tweak to their edge rusher depth.

The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced some roster news on Friday morning. An overview:

• OLB Ochaun Mathis was signed to the practice squad.
• OLB David Anenih was released from the practice squad.

Let’s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.

OCHAUN MATHIS

Mathis has history with the Eagles’ Week 12 opponent; he was a sixth-round pick (No. 189 overall) by the Los Angeles Rams in the 2023 NFL Draft.

The 6’5”, 250-pound edge rusher logged 74 defensive snaps and 19 special teams snaps as a rookie. Mathis was...

Tyre Phillips is back for his third stint with the Giants

Tyre Phillips’ wide, irrepressible smile told the story. The veteran offensive lineman, who signed to the team’s practice squad this week, is thrilled to back with the New York Giants.

“I love the building here, and the guys. Obviously, it makes sense to go somewhere where you know the playbook, but it was more than just knowing the playbook, because I’m a free agent,” Phillips said when I caught up with him in the locker room on Thursday. “I could have went anywhere, tried out anywhere, but I knew...

Screamin A Smith went on First Take this week and expressed concern for Jerry Jones’ ability to lead the Cowboys, comparing the 82-year-old owner to Joe Biden before the President dropped out of the 2024 race.

Jerruh, however, says he is fine.

He did his weekly radio hit with whatever that station is in Dallas, and Brandon Contes at Awful Announcing transcribed a couple of the quotes:

*“Stephen A. is a fraud in a positive sense and I’m smiling. We are friends,” Jones claimed. “And I am having huge support and huge input and help from everyone he mentioned...

What do you think Sunday will look like when the Cowboys face off against Dan Quinn?

Blogging The Boys: Obviously Dan Quinn has done a great job taking over the Commanders. What are some of the specific things he’s done to turn things around?

Hogs Haven: First and foremost, he seems to be a very positive, high energy person who everyone wants to...

The Tampa Bay defense has not been great

The 2-8 New York Giants host the 4-6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12. Both teams are fresh off a bye week. Tampa Bay is favored by 5.5 points, and the Over/Under is 41.5 points. Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers were 4-2 but lost four games in a row, mostly in a competitive fashion.

The Giants finally turned the page on starting quarterback Daniel Jones and promoted third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito to primary signal caller. Drew Lock will remain as the second-string quarterback.

TMZ released a three-minute video showing some autograph seeker berating Jason Kelce in Los Angeles:

Jason Kelce was confronted by an angry autograph seeker who berated the retired NFL star outside the Jimmy Kimmel show studio Thursday night — and the interaction was all captured on video.

Biggest takeaway for me is Jason keeping his composure. He would have been justified in suplexing the guy off the top of whatever barricade he was standing...

The New York Giants (2-8) host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday afternoon.

Rookie progress report: Luke McCaffrey

Breaking down where WR Luke McCaffrey stands over halfway into his rookie season

One of the players I’ve been asked most frequently about this season is rookie receiver Luke McCaffrey. His stat line has been pretty underwhelming, having only caught 13 passes for 134 yards and no touchdowns. But those stats don’t tell anywhere near the full story of McCaffrey’s season to date. He’s been...

Regression and injuries can be seen across many position groups of the Dallas Cowboys. The most significant regression is in a group once considered one of the best in the NFL.

As fans look up and down the roster holes, a lack of talent can be seen at every level. This coaching staff’s inability to adapt to the players on the roster is a significant issue.

The offensive line’s inability to adapt has been ever-present. The offensive line affects every skill position on the offensive side of the ball, and the product from this group can be seen every week....

A lot of things have gone wrong for the 2024 Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys are a hot mess. We haven’t even reached Thanksgiving yet and the dust has already started to settle on the 2024 season. It’s odd to be in this situation as most of the time this football team is right in the thick of things until January. But not this year.

The sadness for this team started back in March when free agency began. As is the case every year, the Cowboys aren’t active players in free agency. The reasons are the same every offseason. They want...

Explosive runs have continued to plague the New York Giants’ defense

Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen searching for answers

“The explosive runs is an area we’ve got to improve. And it’s three to four runs a game. And then you’ve got another 20, 22 that you feel pretty good about,” Bowen said on Thursday. “So we’ve got to do a good job finding ways to eliminate those.

“Making sure we’re tackling. Making sure...
