Eagles OL Darian Kinnard won his third consecutive Super Bowl
Eagles offensive lineman Darian Kinnard won his third consecutive Super Bowl ring.
Kinnard played in none of the three Super Bowls as he was inactive for two, including Sunday's game, and on the practice squad for the other. But he still took part in the celebrations and won the rings.
The Chiefs made Kinnard a fifth-round pick in 2022. He played in one game as a rookie and then spent 2023 on the Chiefs' practice squad, seeing no action.
He signed a futures contract with the Eagles last January and played two games with one start — the Week 18 win over the Giants — this season. The Eagles made Kinnard inactive for 14 regular-season games and all four postseason games.
Former Pro Bowl linebacker Ken Norton Jr. also won three consecutive Super Bowls, winning back-to-back to with the Cowboys in 1992 and 1993 and then going to the 49ers, where he won a third consecutive. Kinnard, though, won his three in a row in his first three seasons. Norton's career began in 1988.
Kinnard told Paul Schwartz of The New York Post that he keeps his Super Bowl rings in a safety deposit box.
'I guess I can say I'm kind of spoiled when it comes to that,' Kinnard told Schwartz.

Mike Tomlin confirms he knew Packers legend Aaron Rodgers was signing with Steelers pre-NFL Draft
Mike Tomlin confirms he knew Packers legend Aaron Rodgers was signing with Steelers pre-NFL Draft originally appeared on The Sporting News The Pittsburgh Steelers have built their roster to make a serious run at the Super Bowl in what is widely believed to be Aaron Rodgers' final NFL season. Rodgers has been putting in work at training camp, and ESPN analyst Ryan Clark believes the veteran is starting to look like his former Super Bowl-winning self. 'I can confirm it AaronRodgers can still really throw the football… it's crazy in person! 2010-11 Super Bowl Flashbacks,' Clark posted. The Steelers' decision to wait until the offseason to sign Rodgers may have actually benefited the franchise, as it resulted in a lighter primetime schedule than if he had signed earlier. 'The Steelers not having a QB yet — and the uncertainty around Aaron Rodgers — may have worked in their favor. They got just 4 primetime games. If Rodgers had signed, they likely would've had 6+ and some holiday slots like the Jets had the last two years, which would've made for a much more unbalanced schedule,' Ari Meirov said. Pittsburgh showed notable patience throughout the process, and it's believed Rodgers gave them some kind of verbal commitment. 'I just think verbally, behind the scenes, not that he guaranteed it, but he's told [the Steelers], 'Listen, I'm gonna play for you. I just don't want to go there and then miss part of mandatory minicamp because of my personal issues. I'm pretty sure they're gonna be solved by the end of May, at least in my satisfaction where I can give you my all,'' Ian O'Connor said. Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp On The Pivot Podcast, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that he knew Rodgers was coming, which is why the team didn't aggressively pursue a quarterback in the draft. 'Everything that we talked about through our conversations in the spring, I'm watching him live out right now in this training camp setting. I believed him when he said it, but it's fun to watch play out,' Tomlin said. 'And you're right I knew something.' Clark had asked him if he knew something was going to happen as to why they waited so long in the draft, to which Tomlin admitted he knew. This inside knowledge explains the team's calm demeanor throughout the lengthy negotiation process. It also sheds light on why the Steelers waited until later in the draft to select Will Howard. While fans and analysts were panicking, the organization knew something big was in the works.

Eagles' Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson carted off practice field in major injury worry
The Philadelphia Eagles' offensive line may have just got considerably weaker. Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson suffered a concerning leg injury during the team's open practice at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday night. Late in the scrimmage, Dickerson went down during an 11-on-11 drill, visibly struggling to put weight on his right leg. Advertisement Landon Dickerson looks on prior to the game against the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field on December 29, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Getty Images Teammates gathered around him as he was helped off the field and ultimately carted to the locker room. He was also able to bend his knee, albeit slightly, while walking off the field with assistance. Advertisement Dickerson had agreed to an extension with the Eagles during the offseason, inking a four-year deal worth up to $87 million with incentives. The deal makes him the highest-paid guard in NFL history, according to The 26-year-old Dickerson, a three-time Pro Bowler, had been listed as a limited participant in practice on Saturday due to a knee issue but was a full participant during Sunday's session. Advertisement Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce looks on with Landon Dickerson during Training Camp at NovaCare Complex on August 4, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Getty Images His injury raises concerns about the Eagles' offensive line depth and how the team will perform in the event Dickerson sits, especially with the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys fast approaching on Sept. 4. Backup offensive lineman Brett Toth has filled in at left guard during Dickerson's previous absences. The Eagles have joint practices scheduled with the Cleveland Browns this week. Advertisement Dickerson's availability for those sessions, as well as Philly's upcoming preseason games, remains unknown for the moment. Dickerson has made three straight Pro Bowls across the 2022-2024 seasons and has been a full-time starter since being selected in Round 2, No. 37 overall, in the 2021 NFL Draft.
