Let's get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links …
Eagles notebook: Their star of joint practices, a great nickname and more – NBCSP
Bowling ball of knives. Eagles second-year offensive lineman Willie Lampkin has become a fan favorite this summer. But the 5-foot-11 offensive lineman has also become a favorite in the locker room. Well, maybe not when his teammates have to face him. "Love Willie," Jordan Davis said. "I call him a bowling ball of knives. Because he's so short, he's so small, he's so stubby but he is so quick and powerful and precise with his hands that it's really, for a taller guy like me, it gives me a lot of trouble, it gives me a lot of fits. That's one of the things that keeps me up at night with Willie. "But he's a tremendous player. He has a certain tenacity about him when he goes and plays a game, especially at center, and he commands that line. It's really special to see and I'm excited to see where his game goes."
The Eagles need to win back the fourth quarter in 2026 – BGN
This is the time of year when everything new is being installed, and training camp darlings are created. There will be a ton of things to look at this Saturday night when the Eagles face the Baltimore Ravens, and Sean Mannion's offense, or what small portion of it is shown, will get scrutinized. But the real reality of the Eagles' 2026 season will not arrive until around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, September 13 at Lincoln Financial Field. It's about the time when the Eagles will be in the throes of their first fourth quarter of the season, in the season opener against the Washington Commanders. Winning the fourth quarter will be a big key to the Eagles' 2026 success. In 2025, the Eagles did not win the fourth quarter. Last season, the Eagles wilted offensively and defensively.
Five things to watch in the Eagles' second preseason game vs. the Patriots – PhillyVoice
4) Can Darius Cooper separate from Makai Lemon? Makai Lemon began practicing in a limited capacity on Thursday. He will be returning to practice full-time soon. The Eagles' WR1 (DeVonta Smith) and WR2 (Dontayvion Wicks) spots are spoken for, but the WR3 spot remains wide open. Cooper is challenging for that role, and I imagine he'll be given the opportunity to play against the Patriots on Saturday night. In the first preseason game against the Ravens, Cooper had 2 catches on 5 targets for 21 yards. Can he improve on that performance, and at least get the Eagles' staff to consider starting him Week 1? If not, Lemon will have a golden opportunity to swoop in at the tail end of camp and claim that spot.
Eagles-Pats Day 2 – Iggles Blitz
It is great that Hurts and the offense came through this time around. We know that there will be a learning curve for the offense this season. There will be ups and downs. Hurts isn't afraid of adversity so I think he'll be able to work his way through issues. The offense was up and down from an overall perspective. Hurts got picked off a couple of times. While I
