The Philadelphia Eagles selected USC WR Makai Lemon with the 20th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Lemon looks like one of the safest prospects in the draft. The film, production, and metrics all suggest he’s an NFL-ready receiver with early-impact potential. The 2025 season erased any remaining doubt. Lemon earned unanimous first-team All-America honors and claimed the Biletnikoff Award as the top FBS receiver after leading all Power Four WRs with 1,156 regular-season yards. He tallied a massive 3.13 yards per route run, tying him for fourth among 105 WRs with at least 80 targets.

The Eagles continue to discuss an A.J. Brown trade, and the Patriots remain highly interested in acquiring him. Brown has been at the center of trade rumors for most of the offseason, but his contract made a pre-June 1st move unlikely. Now, with both sides interested in a deal, Brown appears likely to head to New England as Drake Maye's long-term No. 1 WR.

The Packers are trading WR Dontayvion Wicks to the Eagles in exchange for 2026 fifth- and 2027 sixth-round picks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Philadelphia is also giving Wicks a one-year, $12.5 million extension that keeps him signed through the 2027 season. Wicks has teased fantasy owners with a handful of strong outings over the last four seasons and registered strong marks in advanced metrics like targets per route and yards per route. But he never carved out a consistent role in Green Bay. There's opportunity for him to do so in Philadelphia ... if WR A.J. Brown is traded.

TE Dallas Goedert has agreed to a one-year extension with the Eagles. That keeps him around through 2026 rather than allowing the veteran to hit the open market. The two sides seemed to be working toward this end, with both agreeing twice to delay a contract clause that would have forced an earlier decision to avoid a $20 million cap hit for the coming season.

The Eagles have selected Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator, according to multiple reports. The former NFL QB has spent just two years as a coach, both on Green Bay's staff. He operated as the QBs coach last season after opening as an offensive assistant.

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni announced Tuesday that he'll be replacing OC Kevin Patullo. The deposed coordinator filled that role for the first time in his career (at any level) this season. He had worked under Sirianni since the two joined Frank Reich's staff with the Colts in 2018. That includes spending the past five years with Sirianni in Philadelphia, four as pass-game coordinator before taking over for Kellen Moore in 2025.

NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that the Eagles confirmed Wednesday they'll "rest several key starters" in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Commanders. It's not yet clear, though, exactly who that plan affects and how.

NFL Nerwork's Mike Garafolo says he expects Philadelphia to rest some starters for its Week 18 home date with the Commanders. The Eagles currently sit third in the NFC playoff standings but could climb to second if they win and the Bears lose to Detroit at home. Both games are set to kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw just 15 passes in Sunday's beatdown of the Raiders. But he proved much more efficient than in recent weeks. Hurts completed 12 of those throws (80%) for 175 yards (11.7 yards per attempt) and 3 TDs. He added 39 rushing yards on seven carries.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw up maybe the worst performance of his career in Monday night's OT loss to the Chargers. He tossed a career-high 4 INTs, and narrowly avoided a fifth thanks to the ball hitting the ground before S R.J. Mickens could secure it. Hurts also achieved the rare feat of turning the ball over twice on the same play. He threw a pick to DT Da'Shawn Hand, who fumbled while returning. Hurts recovered that fumble but then lost his own to give it back to the Chargers. The Philly QB also contributed zero TDs for the first time all season and even ran for only 8 yards on four attempts.

The Eagles' offense disappointed once again in Friday's loss to the Bears. But WR A.J. Brown enjoyed a second straight strong effort. He racked up 132 yards and 2 TDs on 10 catches. Brown's 12 targets marked his third straight game with 10+. He has tallied 7+ catches in each of those. WR DeVonta Smith followed with a 5-48 receiving line on eight targets. TE Dallas Goedert was the only other Eagle to catch more than one pass. He posted a 2-27 receiving line on four targets.

The forecast for today's Bears-Eagles game calls for 15-25 mph winds with gusts up to 35 mph. That's enough to impact deep passes and kicks. We're not adjusting any projections, but you could use the weather as a tiebreaker against guys from this game.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (shoulder, chest, illness) missed his second straight practice on Wednesday. We don't have any other details on his injuries, but Smith is seemingly in danger of missing Friday's game vs. the Bears. His absence would be a big boost to WR A.J. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert. We'll see how Smith is listed on Thursday's final injury report.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith posted a solid receiving line in Sunday's come-from-ahead loss to the Cowboys: 6 receptions for 89 yards. He even drew a team-high 11 targets, edging A.J. Brown by one. That followed games of seven and five targets for Smith and marked just the third time this season he reached double digits. Part of that is Philly's low-volume passing offense, but Smith also might have an emerging issue in the team's shift toward Brown.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown racked up 8 receptions for 110 yards and a TD in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. His 10 targets trailed WR DeVonta Smith's team lead by one but marked his second straight game of 10+ after five consecutive outings of single-digit targets.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown drew a season-high 11 targets in Sunday night's win over the Lions. He caught seven of those for a mere 49 yards (7.0 per catch). WR DeVonta Smith, meanwhile, tied for second on the team with just five targets. He managed a single catch for 8 yards. TE Dallas Goedert joined Smith at five targets, catching two for 24 yards. Most of that came on a short catch he turned into a 17-yard gain. No other Eagle drew more than two looks on a rough passing night for the team.
