Eagles' Jalen Hurts ranks low on Madden 26 NFL list, fans say, ‘that Hurts'

NFL ratings for Madden 26 have been released, and it's safe to say that Philadelphia Eagles fans have been left in shock looking at players' rankings. Lane Johnson (right tackle) and Saquon Barkley (halfback) are the only two players to make it to the 99 club this year, with the latter being announced as the cover star. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts speaks during a news conference at the team's NFL football training camp, Tuesday, July 29, 2025, in Philadelphia. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)(AP) As celebratory as this ranking may sound, the score awarded to another Eagle, Jalen Hurts, have been the topic of the town since its release. Jalen Hurts's low ranking As offensive grades for Madden 26 were released, Jalen Hurts's overall grade of 86 has caught widespread attention. 'Madden Ratings are out and Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts is only an 86!! Should he be higher or lower than this?,' a page wrote on social media. 'An 86 overall grade still seems insulting. So does tying him with Justin Herbert, and we're going to need an explanation of the Eagles quarterback landing behind Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff,' wrote Geoffrey A Knox of USA Today on Thursday (July 31). 'The 93 rating seems like a generous grade for A.J. Brown. Then, you remember he's better than at least three of the guys who are graded ahead of him. While we realize this is subjective, what gives?'

'This is dumb Maybe 88, 89 at most Winning a SB doesn't make you elite by default,' a fan wrote. 'Probably should be a little higher,' another fan wrote. 'that Hurts ' a user wrote. 'Seems pretty legit honestly,' another user wrote. 'At least a 90…' a fan wrote. EA Sports is set to launch Madden 26 on August 14.

Hailee Steinfeld's latest workout photos break the internet as Josh Allen returns to Bills camp

Hailee Steinfeld raises eyebrows with sizzling new gym photos (Getty Images) While Josh Allen ramps up intensity in his second week of training camp with the Buffalo Bills, his wife Hailee Steinfeld is quietly building her own routine — one rooted not in football, but in fitness, mindfulness, and discipline. The Oscar-nominated actress, who stunned fans in three elegant gowns during their wedding weekend at the picturesque San Ysidro Ranch, has been making wellness a personal priority off the red carpet. Hailee Steinfeld flexes her fitness grind in latest photos before Bills' big year Even with a demanding schedule, Hailee Steinfeld remains deeply committed to taking care of her body and mind. In her recent Beau Society newsletter, she described emerging from a whirlwind trip to New York City, yet still ensuring her workouts weren't sacrificed. 'I work out to stay fit, but it's almost the last reason I do it anymore,' she wrote candidly. 'I love it because it's the only time of day that I can check out entirely. ' Her approach isn't simply about staying camera-ready — it's about emotional resilience and self-care. The 28-year-old actress, who starred in Sinners, emphasized the mental clarity her workouts provide. 'We often work out early so we finish before the rush of the day sets in.

Her commitment has been supported, both emotionally and physically, by her father Pete Steinfeld — a personal trainer and a key figure in her health journey. In Beau Society's August 1 issue, titled 'The Movement Issue,' Pete was interviewed, offering insight into their shared passion. Hailee wrote, 'I never get tired of hearing my dad talk about the thing he loves most in this world: wellbeing.' Hailee Steinfeld embraces balance by letting go of guilt and finding joy in her wellness journey The actress also opened up about her past struggles with body image and the guilt that used to accompany indulging in snacks with friends. That mindset has shifted with wisdom and time. 'I don't do that anymore because I enjoy sweets and snacks, and the company,' she admitted. But a quote from her father helped anchor this change: 'You can't change your body overnight, and you can't mess it up overnight either.' That philosophy — one of balance, consistency, and kindness toward oneself — now defines her outlook. As Josh Allen pursues greatness on the gridiron, Steinfeld is quietly setting her own example of strength: one that doesn't always show up on a scoreboard, but matters just as much.

Micah Parsons trade request: 6 teams, including Lions and Bills, in the run to land Cowboys star

Micah Parsons could be leaving the Dallas Cowboys soon. The 26-year-old edge rusher requested a trade, urging Jerry Jones and co to reach a contract deal. While the franchise is yet to issue an official statement on the situation, it is being reported that the Cowboys do not want to trade Parsons. Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons speaks to reporters after training camp Tuesday(AP) 'Still, teams around the league are planning to reach out to check on his availability today,' the Athletics' Dianna Russini reported on Friday. Details are yet to be revealed, but we have a list of at least six teams, including the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills, who could be interested in signing the 2021 defensive rookie of the year. Read More: Micah Parsons vs Cowboys: Here's what went wrong with contract negotiations amid trade row Meanwhile, several of Parsons' teammates have gone all out to support him. CeeDee Lamb and Trevon Diggs are among the Cowboys stars to post about the situation. The former went on to even tweet: 'Pay him more'. Micah Parsons' potential landing spots 1. Buffalo Bills The Bills are in Super Bowl-or-bust mode. Even with Joey Bosa now on the roster, another elite pass rusher like Parsons would add a terrifying dimension to their defense. 2. Los Angeles Chargers Khalil Mack remains productive but is nearing the end of his prime. Pairing Parsons with Tuli Tuipulotu, who recorded eight sacks last season, could supercharge Jim Harbaugh's defensive unit. 3. Seattle Seahawks With veterans like Leonard Williams and DeMarcus Lawrence aging, the Seahawks could consider going all-in for Parsons, a move that aligns with their aggressive roster strategy.

Washington Commanders Though trading within the NFC East would be highly unlikely, Washington desperately needs a dominant edge presence. Parsons could be a franchise-changing addition, if Jerry Jones is willing to take the risk. 5. Chicago Bears The Bears have talent on offense and a solid piece in Montez Sweat defensively, but the pass rush lacks depth. Parsons could instantly transform Chicago's front seven. 6. Detroit Lions With Aidan Hutchinson returning from injury and the Lions firmly in their Super Bowl window, adding Parsons could push Detroit's defense over the top.
