Eagles vs. Chiefs: Bryce Huff among 7 inactives for Super Bowl LIX

USA Today09-02-2025

The Eagles released their inactive list for Super Bowl 59, and Bryce Huff will be a healthy scratch for the game with Brandon Graham returning from injury.
Brandon Graham is officially active after being removed from Injured Reserve on Saturday. Graham tore his triceps in the November 24 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Graham declared his season was over in the locker room after that game, but the Eagles' run to the Super Bowl provided a platform for a comeback and final NFL game.

Tanner McKee will be the third quarterback for the Eagles and will only enter if both Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett are injured.

Rams star named 'biggest success story' of next generation of defenders

Rams star named 'biggest success story' of next generation of defenders The Los Angeles Rams defense is full of emerging talent. From reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse to fellow edge rushers Braden Fiske and Byron Young, this unit is ascending at the right time. But The Ringer's Diante Lee said one Rams defender could see a bigger rise in 2025 and turn into a Pro Bowl player: defensive tackle Kobie Turner. Lee said on The Athletic Football Show that Turner is "the biggest success story of this next era of guys" because of where he came from and who he replaced in Aaron Donald. Lee added that Turner and reminds him of Baltimore Ravens' star defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike. "I think that Kobie Turner might be the biggest success story of this next era of guys," Lee said, "because of the expectations were relatively low for a guy that's drafted where he was drafted and coming into a position where you're now filling the shoes of 99 [Donald]. "It's not that he reminds me of Aaron Donald, but the guy that he does remind me of is Nnamdi Madubuike, at times, where it's like — good at everything. He's solid across the board." Madubuike is a good comp for Turner because of a similar career trajectory. Madubuike was a third-round pick in 2020 but didn't see huge development until his fourth season when he tallied 15.5 sacks and made his first Pro Bowl. Turner, also a third-round pick, is producing more at a faster pace than Madubuike — with nine sacks as a rookie in 2023 and eight sacks in his second year this past season. Turner was never going to replace Donald in the middle of the defense. The Rams knew that, too, and drafted other complementary pieces to support Turner on the interior. But considering how good Turner has looked in just two seasons, it's not a stretch to think he could develop into a Pro Bowl player in his third NFL season.

Should the Eagles have an interest in Jaire Alexander after he's released by Packers?

Should the Eagles have an interest in Jaire Alexander after he's released by Packers? Ian Rapoport reported that Green Bay is releasing Jaire Alexander on Monday and we're examining whether the Eagles should have interest in the former Packers star cornerback The Eagles are always doing their due diligence on elite talent, and one of the top cornerbacks in the league is set to hit the open market. Ian Rapoport reports that Green Bay is preparing to release Jaire Alexander on Monday. Alexander has missed at least 10 games in three of his last four seasons, but he's still one of the best in the NFL when healthy. Alexander played just seven games in 2024, marking the second straight season in which he missed at least 10 games due to injury. The former Pro Bowler also played just four games in 2021. This spring, general manager Brian Gutekunst told the media that Alexander's absences have been "tough on the player [and] tough on the organization," which signed the cornerback to an $84 million extension in 2022. Designating him a post-June 1 release would save more than $17 million against the 2025 salary cap. The Eagles lost Darius Slay (Steelers), James Bradberry (free agent), Avonte Maddox (Lions), and Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings) in free agency and signed Adoree' Jackson. Even with those moves, Philadelphia didn't draft a cornerback until the fifth round when they selected Mac McWilliams out of UCF. Williams (5-10, 191) will add some depth on the outside and in the slot, but he was a fifth-round pick for a reason. Ringo is entering a critical third year, but he and Jackson split first-team reps during OTAs, and GM Howie Roseman could look to add another veteran to the mix.
