The Eagles have acquired Cardinals guard Reggie Wells for a sixth-round draft pick in 2011. Wells, entering his eighth NFL season, started all 16 games for a prolific Cardinals offense in five of the past six years.
A day before final cuts, the Eagles acquired a guard Friday and got good news from Jamaal Jackson on Thursday night, two developments that could help solidify the offensive line, one of the team’s biggest questions heading into the regular season. The team must get down to 53 players by 6 p.m
After not selecting an offensive lineman in the NFL Draft and going the entire summer hoping a veteran would seize the starting right guard position, the Eagles made a move to bring in a proven veteran to plug the hole. The Eagles acquired durable offensive lineman Reggie Wells — who is known for his run blocking — from the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for an undisclosed draft choice in 2011
A LITTLE MORE than a week before the Eagles open the regular season at the Linc against the Packers, head coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg still are being purposely vague about their plan for Mike Vick in the offense. Yes, he will back up Kevin Kolb. But they could have gone out and gotten any one of a half-dozen other quarterbacks who would’ve been better fits for that job than this wild stallion from Newport News, Va
IF I WERE a fan, I don’t think I would’ve paid $10 to attend last night’s preseason finale between the Eagles and the New York Jets. But the generally held belief that this game is meaningless is probably the farthest thing from the truth. Yes, the starters were given the night off, but the middle and final pieces of this roster are still in flux
Now that Thursday night’s charade brought a merciful end to the exhibition games, there is nothing but a short expanse of practices separating the Eagles from the start of the regular season. Ready or not, here it comes, and much more than in recent seasons, there is good reason to wonder if the Eagles will be ready or not.
The Arizona Cardinals have traded guard Reggie Wells to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for an undisclosed draft choice. Wells (6-4, 314) was with the Cardinals for seven seasons. He played in 104 games and made 90 starts, including all six playoff games over the last two seasons.
The Eagles confirmed reports that they have traded with Arizona again (former Eagles personnel guy Jason Licht works there now), this time getting 29-year-old reserve guard-tackle Reggie Wells for an undisclosed pick, reportedly a sixth-rounder.
Center Jamaal Jackson could be the opening day starter after all. During an interview on last night’s broadcast of the preseason finale, Jackson said that the chances of him playing on Sept
TWICE, KURT COLEMAN was just kinda standing there, minding his own business, and, hey - a football! Coleman is a seventh-round rookie from Ohio State whose hard-hitting style and special-teams savvy probably had earned him an Eagles roster spot even before his scintillating two-touchdown first half in last night’s preseason finale, a 21-17 loss to the visiting New York Jets. But Coleman might play a long time in the NFL without fortune ever smiling on him again the way it smiled in this game. First time, the Jets were running the 12th play of a drive that had started on their 2
Ask defensive coordinator Sean McDermott what a player has to do to impress, and he has a simple answer: Make big plays. Kurt Coleman did that Thursday night at Lincoln Financial Field to add a jolt of energy to an otherwise forgettable preseason finale. Coleman, the Eagles’ rookie safety who scored one touchdown in his college career at Ohio State, took two fumbles back to the end zone.
On a scorching-hot weekday morning at Eagles training camp, retired running back Duce Staley was flanked by a half-dozen active running backs at Lehigh University. The temperature was boiling over into the low 90s - humid enough to warrant a lighter workout in the second of two-a-day practices that afternoon
