🏈EAGLES TRAINING CAMP COMPLETE: That’s a wrap! The Eagles completed their final training camp practice Wednesday at the Jefferson Health Training Complex. QB Jalen Hurts spoke afterward about learning from OC Sean Mannion, the development of team chemistry, and why he believes it’s been a successful camp. Now it’s onto the FINAL PRESEASON GAME – Friday night at The Linc vs. the Bengals! This is the LAST CHANCE for bubble players to make their case before Sunday’s 53-man roster cuts. We’ll preview the matchup, discuss who’s on the roster bubble, and break down the latest NFL news including Week Zero college football!
⚾PHILLIES DODGE THE SWEEP: What a response! After losing two straight, the Phillies came through with a 6-0 SHUTOUT of the Mariners Wednesday night! Jesús Luzardo was DOMINANT – 7 innings, 9 strikeouts, only 1 hit allowed! He retired his first 14 batters and reached 200 strikeouts for the second straight season. Kyle Schwarber launched his MLB-LEADING 40TH HOMER, and Bryce Harper hit a 2-run shot in the 1st (his 27th, extending his on-base streak to 29 games!). The Phillies avoided the sweep and head to Anaheim for a 3-game series vs. the Angels starting Friday night at 9:38 PM ET. Can they keep rolling on the West Coast?
🦅LURIE TO EAGLES HALL OF FAME: HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT! Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie will be inducted into the Eagles Hall of Fame! The ceremony will take place at halftime of the Monday Night Football game vs. the Dallas Cowboys on October 26th at The Linc. Lurie, who purchased the team in 1994, becomes just the 53rd member and only the second owner (alongside Bert Bell) to receive this honor. His 32-year tenure includes the franchise’s only TWO SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONSHIPS, 4 Super Bowl appearances, and 20 playoff trips. Lurie called it “one of the greatest honors of my life.”
🏀SIXERS: Jaylen Brown and LeBron James building chemistry with Maxey, Embiid, and Edgecombe. Opening Night vs. reigning champ Knicks on October 20th at MSG – can this stacked roster develop synergy in time for a deep playoff run?
