Hurts Delivers Late Heroics as Eagles Edge Titans on the Road

The Philadelphia Eagles overcame a tough Titans test in Nashville, with Jalen Hurts orchestrating a 9-play, 65-yard drive for the go-ahead touchdown in the final minutes, while DeVonta Smith hauled in 10 catches for 117 yards and Dontayvion Wicks contributed on third- and fourth-down packages. Jake Elliott added a 58-yard field goal, and the defense showed flashes, though the O-line and run game remain concerns.

Eagles push two-season offense install, not 2026 as make-or-break for Hurts/Sirianni

Hurts, at 28, and Sirianni could be poised for long-term success if the plan pays off. The piece also notes limited practice updates for Jonathan Greenard and Eli Stowers, Hurts’ emphasis on open dialogue with the staff, and a breadth of related NFL takes and previews.

Darius Cooper Emerges as Eagles' Camp Standout

During the ninth Eagles practice, Darius Cooper stood out with back-to-back catches and a late grab, cementing himself as a top option as Hurts connected with Cooper and Elijah Moore. The session featured competitive pace, injuries to DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon, Cam Jurgens returning after heat exhaustion, and a tight backup QB battle between Tanner McKee and Andy Dalton.
