Eagles announce 3-time Pro Bowler will be inducted into franchise Hall of Fame
The Philadelphia Eagles will be inducting three-time Pro Bowl safety Malcolm Jenkins into the franchise's Hall of Fame. As the defending champions, the Eagles will celebrate their 2024 championship during their home opener and celebrate Jenkins' induction, which will take place during their Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears on November 28.
The Eagles announced Jenkins' induction to their Hall of Fame, per The Athletic's Zach Betman.
'Malcolm Jenkins will be inducted into the Eagles Hall of Fame this season, the team announced,' Betman reported.
Jenkins joins 49 players who have been inducted into the Eagles Hall of Fame. He finished with 406 tackles and 11 interceptions in six seasons with the Eagles. After spending his first five seasons with the New Orleans Saints, Jenkins joined Philadelphia in 2014, where he spent his prime years and was named to three Pro Bowl teams.
He helped the Eagles win two Super Bowl victories in 2009 and 2017.
Jason Kelce drops humble admission on Eagles Hall of Fame
Eagles center Jason Kelce put a bow on his NFL career in 2023. As the five-time Pro Bowler who helped the Eagles win a Super Bowl title in 2017, Kelce talked about the NFL Hall of Fame and the likelihood of being honored sometime soon.
Kelce humbly addressed the Hall of Fame, per the Exciting Mics podcast with Eagles running backs Cooper DeJean and Reed Blankenship.
'It will be weird to be honest with you. And I think it's weird because I don't even think I'm the best player that I've played with in the NFL,' Kelce said. 'Even on the offensive line. Jason Peters, Lane Johnson, Brandon Brooks, they're all better players than I ever was.'
Kelce couldn't envision himself on the same level as some of his teammates during his time with the Eagles.
'I think I was very good at Center, but I was a scheme specific guy. And when I think of Hall of Fame players, I think of people that, this is a guy that was so good that no matter what team, who he played with, wherever he was at he was going to be one of the best players of all-time. And I just don't think that was the case for me,' said Kelce.
Kelce was a seven-time Pro-Bowler who spent his entire 13-year NFL career with the Eagles. He was named to five consecutive Pro Bowls before retiring in 2024 at 36, one season before the Eagles captured their fifth Super Bowl title.

Steelers host 4 free agent workouts following LS Christian Kuntz injury
The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to bolster the long snapper position, hosting four free agents for workouts following Christian Kuntz' chest injury during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On Sunday, it was reported that the Steelers brought in four long snappers for workouts: Rick Lovato, Jake McQuaide, Taybor Pepper, and Patrick Scales. Lovato, a 10-year veteran, spent the last nine seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he won two Super Bowls and was named to the 2019 Pro Bowl. McQuaide, who's been playing in the NFL for the past 14 years, is a two-time Pro Bowler and recently played for the Miami Dolphins. While both Pepper and Scales lack the Pro Bowl accolades of the previous two long snappers, they each offer over 100 games of NFL experience. Following Saturday's preseason loss, Steelers HC Mike Tomlin provided some vague optimism regarding Kuntz's availability — claiming there might have been "good news" on his chest injury. We at Steelers Wire will keep you updated on the situation as more information becomes available, as Pittsburgh gears up to take on the Carolina Panthers in their third 2025 preseason matchup on Thursday, August 21.

Former NFL GM with harsh criticism for Steelers DT Cam Heyward
As more details surface about the situation between the Pittsburgh Steelers and defensive tackle Cameron Heyward and his contract, the harder it is to defend Heyward's side in all this. Heyward claims that after he signed a very modest contract extension in the 2024 offseason that gave him no raise and simply added a year, he told the team he'd be back for a raise if he made the Pro Bowl. Now he's back, but according to former NFL General Manager Doug Whaley, Heyward and his agents mishandled this situation from the beginning, calling it an "abject failure" on their part. 'If he walked out the door and said if I make All-Pro I'm going to see you next year,' Whaley told Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson. 'No. No. No. You are at the bargaining table now. Put that in there now. If you are the rep (for Heyward), you should know the salary cap is going to spike greater than in years past. You know people are going to get signed. You know who are free agents and they are going to sign deals. You can even put it in as an incentive, if he makes All-Pro, his salary goes up to 'x'.' Now, Heyward finds him sitting out with almost no leverage to force the Steelers to honor an agreement that sounds like they never agreed to. That's not to say the Steelers couldn't shuffle money from his 2026 salary to 2025 because it would be a simple chore and one they have done before. But for whatever reason, they don't seem compelled to do so, perhaps in anticipation of Heyward retiring at the end of the season.

Dolphins stock report: Lions dominate Fins offensively and defensively
Well, that was bad. The Miami Dolphins' first joint practice against the Detroit Lions was nothing short of a disaster. Defensively, the Dolphins couldn't stop the Lions offense as quarterback Jared Goff connected frequently with All-Pro receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Offensively, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and Co. failed to find the spark to get the high-powered unit rolling. Then the injury bug bit: edge rusher Chop Robinson was carted off with an undisclosed injury. Luckily, the Dolphins have a chance to respond Thursday. Here's a breakdown of what happened during the Dolphins' first of two joint practices against the Lions. TOP PERFORMERS Inside linebacker Jordyn Brooks: The inside linebacker was one of the few bright spots on a defense that consistently got gashed. Brooks not only looked good in coverage, forcing at least one incompletion and stopping players short after catches, he was active in the run game. He met Lions tailback Jahmyr Gibbs in the hole to stop the two-time Pro Bowler at the line of scrimmage as well as showcased some elite open field tackling when he corralled fellow Detroit running back David Montgomery for a short gain. The six-year veteran's best play came when he forced Montgomery to fumble after tackling the Lions tailback behind the line a scrimmage. While Montgomery recovered the ball, Brooks displayed a tenacity that was rarely seen on the field. Brooks' only misstep was a defensive holding call on the final play of practice. Running back De'Von Achane: Overall, the offense didn't play great. Achane, however, showed a bit of life During 7-on-7s, the third-year tailback caught a ball from Tagovailoa for a nice chunk of yards. Then, during team drills, he had a nice misdirection run that would've picked up significant yards. STOCK UP Edge rusher Derrick McLendon: The edge rusher continued his dominant training camp against the Lions. Not only did McLendon consistently win his reps during 1-on-1s, he got some extended run with the starters during the situational period at the end of practice when Robinson went down. Although he didn't make a play per sey, he remained a constant presence in the backfield. STOCK DOWN Defensive back Jack Jones: From the very beginning, Jones was chirping. From the very beginning, Jones was chirping. The only issue was that he didn't back it up. St. Brown consistently torched the fourth-year corner who seemingly sought out the matchup against the three-time Pro Bowler. It didn't matter the period — 1-on-1s, 7-on-7s, 11-on-11s — if St. Brown saw Jones across from him, he cooked. Even worse: St. Brown did it in a multitude of ways. He caught deep balls. He caught a 5-yard touchdown. And he did damage with his fair share of grabs in the intermediate as well. Injury updates As previously mentioned, Robinson was carted off although he posted on his Instagram story that he's 'good.' A source confirmed that it was not a head injury. Edge rusher Jaelan Phillips didn't suit up with an undisclosed injury. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle was a limited participant. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill returned to practice following an oblique injury but didn't do anything competitive. Edge rusher Mo Kamara remains in concussion protocol. Right tackle Austin Jackson has a lower leg injury and is expected back by the Sept. 7 opener against the Indianapolis Colts. Safety Ashtyn Davis is out indefinitely with a leg injury. Fullback Alec Ingold remains in concussion protocol. Offensive linemen Andrew Meyer is not close to returning from an undisclosed injury. Offensive lineman Kion Smith sat out with an undisclosed injury. Offensive lineman Bayron Matos remains out with 'an above the shoulder type injury.' What they said: 'Today, offensively it was a very frustrating day in regards to what we wanted to do, what we said we wanted to do,' Tagovailoa said. 'We just weren't able to get things jumpstarted.'
