  • Oct 4 EJ Smith (X) How are we already trying to blame Nick? It’s pretty clearly a result of their all-pro right tackle deciding to take a personal day an hour before the game starts. What the fuck would you like Nick to do about that? · Quoting EJ Smith: I'll be curious to hear Nick Sirianni's explanation for the #Eagles only dressing 47 players for today's game, especially with Cole Payton a healthy scratch. Teams are permitted 48 on the active gameday roster (49 with a designated third QB.)
  • Oct 4 EJ Smith (X) Here's the explanation: You can only use the full 48 spots on the active roster if you have eight offensive linemen active. With Lane Johnson being ruled out late, the #Eagles only have seven active offensive linemen and therefore couldn't use that final spot. · Quoting EJ Smith: I'll be curious to hear Nick Sirianni's explanation for the #Eagles only dressing 47 players for today's game, especially with Cole Payton a healthy scratch. Teams are permitted 48 on the active gameday roster (49 with a designated third QB.)

  • Oct 4 Adam Schefter (X) Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels will become the first rookie quarterback this season to start a game. None of the 10 rookie quarterbacks drafted this year -- Fernando Mendoza, Ty Simpson, Carson Beck, Drew Allar, Cade Klubnik, Cole Payton, Taylen Green, Athan Kaliakmanis, Behren Mortonor Garrett Nussmeier -- have started a game entering Week 4. · Quoting Adam Schefter: Baker Mayfield is dealing with a dislocated thumb that is expected to sideline the star quarterback anywhere from three to six weeks, depending on how quickly he is able to grip the football, per sources.
  • Oct 4 EJ Smith (X) The #Eagles will have Tanner McKee as the backup QB today. Dalton will likely be the emergency QB. As @denizselman33 pointed out yesterday, there’s a chance Cole Payton will be active given the number of injuries on the active roster and his potential to play on special teams. · Quoting Mike Garafolo: Reported on @NFLGameDay Kickoff: The #Eagles are flipping backup QBs today against the #Rams, sources say. Tanner McKee will be the No. 2 behind Jalen Hurts while Andy Dalton becomes QB3.
