Former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore left the Eagles right after the Super Bowl to become the head coach of the New Orleans Saints.
After starting with Philadelphia as the passing game coordinator from 2021-2024, head coach Nick Sirianni promoted Patullo to officially call the shots on offense this season.
During the second day of OTAs for the Eagles, Patullo spoke about how his version of the offense will look.
Said the coach: 'I think when you say 'different,' I think it's going to be like, 'What do our players do best?' And then from there, we just expand upon it. Hey, we're really good at this. Let's bring this to the table and try this and see where we can take it. And I think really, when you look at just our staff as a whole, we've added some new coaches, so they bring some other layers to it too, and then the knowledge of what they have from their background.

'So I think as we go forward, as we build this thing together as a staff, you'll see some new wrinkles here and there, but more so it's just kind of building on what our players do best.''
Patullo will look to improve and grow a talented offensive unit that has the necessary pieces to make another Super Bowl run. ... with some "new wrinkles'' that figure to challenges rivals who stand in Philly's way.

Phillies' Aaron Nola Confirms Rib Stress Fracture Amid Setback
Phillies' Aaron Nola Confirms Rib Stress Fracture Amid Setback originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies placed starting pitcher Aaron Nola on the injured list with a right ankle sprain in May. Since he's been out, the Phillies have cobbled together innings from bullpen games, Taijuan Walker, and, fortunately, the emergence of Mick Abel. Advertisement But Nola suffered a setback in the form of a different issue that popped up last week. Nola had suffered a fracture right rib and has since been deemed to be out until at least mid-July, and after the All-Star break. Ahead of the Phillies' series against the Toronto Blue Jays, Nola spoke with reporters for the first time since his setback. There, he broke his silence on how he's feeling and where he stands in his recovery process. On Pattison on Twitter/X shared Nola's comments on his injury, setback, and how he's dealing with it going forward. "It definitely wasn't the news I was expecting," Nola said. "I felt it a little more than I had in my last bullpen... Just did an MRI, came back with a stress fracture. So it's just trying to do as much as I can with trainers to heal, and take time for it to heal." Advertisement Nola was then asked a follow-up question about whether he knew where his stress fracture originated, and if the bullpen session was a catalyst for the injury. "Honestly, I don't really know," Nola said. "I guess it just came from throwing. I'm not really sure how it comes about. I'm not really sure, I've never had a stress fracture in my rib before, this is really new to me." Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola (27) walks off the field after the fifth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Curry-Imagn Images Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic also shared part of Nola's answer about his injury on Twitter/X. She provided more context on Nola's feelings amid the injury and his original ankle issue, which landed him on the injured list. Advertisement "Aaron Nola said he was told it was a stress fracture in his right rib," wrote Varnes. "Said he feels discomfort when breathing heavy or throwing. The initial injury that sent him to the IL, a right ankle sprain, is feeling better." While it's encouraging to hear the original right ankle issue is feeling better, the update from Nola on his fractured rib is an unfortunate setback amid his recovery. This update from Nola is a tough one for the Phillies. After he signed a massive $172 million deal in the offseason, Nola was expected to be a huge part of the rotation. But this injury and his 6.16 ERA start have made the contract look like a poor decision. While there is still plenty of time to rebound, Nola isn't expected back into the rotation anytime soon.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce Mom Lands Major Spot On Reality TV Show
Chiefs' Travis Kelce Mom Lands Major Spot On Reality TV Show originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has taken much of the family spotlight this offseason. His relationship with pop music princess Taylor Swift continues to capture the hearts of the many while the build-up to his farewell tour increases by the day. Kelce will retire from the NFL after this season. He, Patrick Mahomes and the rest of Chiefs Kingdom hope to pull out one more run to the Super Bowl. When that time ultimately comes for him to move on from the game, don't expect the Kelce family to go away from the public eye. Travis and his brother, Jason, co-host the "New Heights" podcast which has been quite successful. Even the family's matriarch Donna Kelce has found her way into the spotlight. In fact, she had a major announcement this week that will be sure to provide more Kelce content. Both Donna and Jason will participate in season four of the reality TV series "The Traitors." She made her announcement official with a post on Instagram captioned, "Sundays were just the beginning. I raised the two playmakers, but now it's mamas turn." The show will begin streaming on Peacock and has begun filming in Scotland. Donna and Jason will be joined by a number of reality TV stars from other programs along with a group of celebrities including Michael Rapoport and Tara Lipinksi. "The Traitors" splits contestants up into two categories of "Faithfuls" and "Traitors." The cast must decipher which among them are the "Traitors," picking a player each night to "murder." While Donna and Jason embark on this exciting new venture, Travis remains at home preparing for his final season. The next step on that journey comes next week when the Chiefs get started with their mandatory minicamp on June 17.

Browns Pushed to Sign 11,000-Yard Receiver in Free Agency
Browns Pushed to Sign 11,000-Yard Receiver in Free Agency originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Cleveland Browns are sorting through a litany of quarterback questions this offseason. With veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett on the roster to compete with rookie draft picks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, there are a number of scenarios that could take place before the start of the regular season in September. Advertisement Another question this offseason surrounds who the Browns quarterback will be throwing to next season. After trading away Amari Cooper last season, the wide receiver room thinned out quite a bit. Cleveland failed to add a wideout in the NFL Draft and signed the troubled Diontae Johnson not long after, but there are very few options behind Jerry Jeudy heading into the rest period of the offseason. That's why The Hanford Dixon Show's producer, Pat McGuire, would love to see the Browns pursue free agent Keenan Allen. 'One of the other names I would love for us to bring in is Keenan Allen, because he's kind of a possession receiver. I don't know if you guys caught this, but they were talking about how the offense is going to be a wide zone offense now, where they're going to run the ball just like they did in 2020 and 2021, which could unlock Keenan Allen in the passing game. I would love to see him here,' McGuire said. Advertisement Allen is a 12-year veteran with 149 starts in 154 games under his belt. He's tallied 974 catches for 11,274 yards with 66 touchdowns across 11 years with the Chargers and last season with the Bears. The question is, can Allen make the quarterbacks look good? That might be something the team wants to ask before signing a veteran wideout if that's the direction GM Andrew Berry wants to go.
