Norman needed a shot in his wrist to return to last week’s game vs. Baltimore. If Chip Kelly still was head coach of the Eagles, guess what?

Wentz has gotten most of the attention, but Fletcher Cox is still the best player on the Eagles. “Whoever released me, that’s different”. I’ll provide a bit more context there.
Kessler, who got hurt in the first quarter of last week’s loss to New England, practiced again Thursday.
“Hopefully, I’ll still be in Washington”, he said. “It hasn’t really gone that way and it’s something we’ve got to figure out as a team, because we need to connect on the plays that we’re missing”. What changed? Subtly, just about everything.
Jackson, who turns 30 in six weeks, didn’t rule out returning to the team that drafted him. I want to earn it. “So it’s a great challenge for us and one that our guys will be excited about on Sunday”. It’s kind of competitive, too. They’re not always plain to see to the human eye. That is one thing about Cam Newton. This should be a really good game, so getting points with the home team sounds good to me. The cheapest ones are in the nosebleeds and will run you $100 apiece in the 400 sections.
Right now the fish aren’t biting for Jackson.
His loss is a big one for Washington’s offense, even though it still has talented receivers in DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder.
The Washington Redskins have won three games in a row, but their top wide receiver would like quarterback Kirk Cousins to throw to him more often, beginning today against his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles.
Redskins coach Jay Gruden outlined on Friday that Reed’s health is being monitored closely. “And then when you get to meet him and know him, you get to see how smart and intelligent he is”.
The Eagles have concerns. The Eagles typically roll a safety toward DJack. Yeah it gives up some plays but what secondary doesn’t.
Eagles rookie offensive tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai won over Doug Pederson with the introductory handshake.
“When you look out for good people blessing come back to you Carson is a good person”, said South Philly resident Jamal Munson. He and the complement of Jordan Reed and Garçon and these guys have opened up things for them offensively.
Jackson still has episodes of moodiness. The Redskins have rushed for 432 yards on 105 attempts for a 4.1 average, which ranks them 23rd in the league on the ground. “It’s definitely going to be a dog fight”, Williams said. “I guess what you’re seeing on film is what you’re seeing”. What plays did we leave out there? “And now our game is kind of put in perspective”. Once this season ends, Jackson will become a free agent. He signed a five-year, $46.75 million contract in May after setting several career highs in 2015. After another penalty, the Eagles lined up trips right.

“Big, athletic and the football intelligence, the IQ is there”, Pederson said of Vaitai, whom he calls the the Big V. But I mean whatever the calling is whatever God’s calling is I definitely think I’ll be blessed to be wherever it is. You never know which QB you will get on a week-to-week basis.
