Which 7 Eagles will fans consider Must-See TV on 'Hard Knocks'? As HBO's Hard Knocks takes an inside, in-season look at the NFC East, we're examining seven Eagles who'll be must-see television
The NFC East is the most challenging division in the NFL, and this season, the pressure will mount dramatically.
The season will start with four potential 2025 playoff teams and many storylines. As HBO's Hard Knocks takes an inside, in-season look at this historical division, fans will now have an up-close look at the Eagles, Commanders, Cowboys, and Giants' quest for a division title.
The award-winning series featured the AFC North last season. It debuted during the final six weeks of the NFL season, which included a playoff run for the division winner and any AFC North Wild Card teams.
The series will debut on a Tuesday in December on HBO and stream on Max. Subsequent Tuesdays will air through the end of the NFL regular season and continue into the NFL playoffs in January 2026.
With training camp fast approaching, we're taking an early look at seven Eagles who'll be must-watch.
QB Jalen Hurts
The Super Bowl MVP quietly goes about his business, but fans and experts alike will be watching to see how Hurts interacts with coaches, teammates, and team brass.
WR A.J. Brown
An All-Pro wide receiver, Brown's initial response to the news was a now-deleted Tweet that read, NOPE. The Eagles' star wide receiver exudes intensity, and his approach to improving should be must-see TV.
WR DeVonta Smith
Like A.J. Brown, Smith is serious about his craft, but even more important, he's one of the funniest players on the team.
LT Jordan Mailata
Whether it's paving the way for Saquon Barkley or hitting a melody or singing a fine tune, Mailata is a fantastic story and even more entertaining.
The Georgia Boys
Jordan Davis is the most prominent personality out of the group, while Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith are intensity and game changers on the Philadelphia defense. With eight former Bulldogs on the Eagles' defense, this connection will be something to watch.
DB Cooper DeJean/Reed Blankenship
The defensive back duo has swagger, an 'Exciting Mics' Podcast, and the elite play to back up all the hype.
Vic Fangio/Nick Sirianni
Sirianni makes the list because he's one of the most outspoken and confident head coaches, while Fangio is honest to a fault and plays no games running the NFL's best defense.

Packers to reportedly release 2-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander
The Green Bay Packers are cutting ties with cornerback Jaire Alexander. The two-time Pro Bowler will reportedly be released Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It marks quite the fall for Alexander, a former first-round draft pick who was one of the team's best players as recently as the 2022 season, when he was selected to his second Pro Bowl. But injuries have plagued Alexander over the past two years. Back and shoulder issues limited Alexander to seven games in 2023. A knee issue caused Alexander to play in just seven games in 2024. Advertisement Prior to those injuries, Alexander had emerged as one of the better cornerbacks in the NFL. After a promising rookie season in 2018, Alexander started in all 16 games in his second season. He earned his first Pro Bowl selection in 2020 and was second team All-Pro. He was limited to just four games in 2021 due to a shoulder injury, but bounced back in 2022 to play in all 16 games, once again earning Pro Bowl and second team All-Pro team honors. After signing a four-year, $84 million extension in 2022, Alexander was set to make over $16 million in 2025. The Packers reportedly offered Alexander a restructured deal in May, which would have resulted in Alexander taking a pay cut. It appears Alexander did not want to take that deal, leading to his reported release. The last two seasons in which Alexander played double-digit games, he made the Pro Bowl. That should give the 28-year-old multiple options now that he's reportedly hit the free-agent market. Given his injury struggles, Alexander may need to settle for a short-term deal. If he can stay healthy and return to form, Alexander could fetch a much larger contract on the market next season.

Browns rival Bengals cuts linebacker Germaine Pratt after six seasons
The Cleveland Browns may no longer have to see linebacker Germaine Pratt twice per year as the Cincinnati Bengals have moved on from their former starting linebacker. A former third round pick of the Bengals in 2019, Pratt went on to start 88 total games in Cincinnati. He was a member of the Bengals' 2021 squad that took down the Kansas City Chiefs to earn a spot in the Super Bowl before coming up just short in a loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Advertisement Throughout his six-year career, Pratt has amassed 355 solo tackles, 32 tackles for loss, seven forced fumbles, and seven interceptions. This output earned him a starting role extremely fast, pairing up with Logan Wilson in Year 2 as the full-time starter after even starting nine games as a rookie. It even earned him a second contract with the team, signing a three-year contract extension in 2023 worth $20.25 million in total and earning him $7 million in guaranteed money. Pratt was in the last year of that deal as he now hits the free agency market. The Bengals will see a $5.85 million cap saving after the move while opting to eat $2.33 million in dead money as a result. He now hits the free agency market at the age of 29, looking for a new home. Could the Browns be a landing spot as Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah remains sidelined for the entirety of the 2025 season?
