EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Slashing dozens of players from their rosters is annually one of the most difficult days of the year for NFL coaches. But it’s a better problem than not having enough good players to fill a 53-man regular-season roster. The Giants removed nine players from their roster today, leaving them with 80. […]
The Eagles-Jets matchup Thursday night was witnessed at a Metlife Stadium that was about 25 percent full.
The Birds lost 16-10 and finished the preseason 2-2.
The game was a dud but there were still reasons to pay attention that could impact the regular season roster. Here are five reasons.
If Eagles standout offensive tackle Lane Johnson wrote a bombastic column for the players blog website theplayerstribune.com to divert people away from talking about his 10-game suspension last year for violating the NFL’s policy on performance enhancing drugs, it backfired.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Like so many NFL preseason games, the annual Giants-Jets MetLife Bowl Saturday night was a two-for-one special.

Several Soul players played through injuries including WR Darius Reynolds, who suffered a head injury just before the half and had to be checked out before returning, QB Dan Raudabaugh, who wore a brace on his knee after sustaining what has been reported as an ACL tear in the first half, and center Brennen Carvahlo, who literally had to be helped off the field in the third quarter in what appeared to be a leg injury.

Their effort was not missed by their teammates….
The Detroit Drive. The Arizona Rattlers. And now, the Philadelphia Soul. Philadelphia has etched its name in Arena Football League history by becoming the third team to win the ArenaBowl in back-to-back years after knocking off the Tampa Bay Storm 44-40 with 13,648 fans in attendance at the Wells Fargo Center to win ArenaBowl XXX.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Eli Manning and the Giants’ first-team offense will get their longest stints of the preseason in the annual MetLife Bowl tomorrow night against the Jets. But backup quarterbacks Geno Smith and Josh Johnson will still get their share of scrutiny. The two veterans continue to compete for the No. 2 job behind Manning. […]
The Eagles starting offense finally showed a little of what it is capable of doing, scoring 14 first quarter points, setting the tone for what turned out to be a 38-31 shootout win over the Miami Dolphins at Lincoln Financial Field. In a bit of a surprise move, head coach Doug Pederson pulled quarterback Carson […]
It’s tough enough being a free agent trying to latch on with a NFL team. It is even tougher if you are switching your position. Taylor Hart, who was drafted as a defensive tackle by the Eagles in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Oregon, was running out of options to […]
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – One of the most memorable plays from the Giants’ preseason game in Cleveland Monday night was an incomplete pass. The play stood out not because of who passed the ball, or who it was thrown to, but who defended it. On third-and-25, Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon, whose forte is sacking quarterbacks, followed […]
