Eagles Poised To Unveil New Jalen Hurts Wrinkle
If there's one thing that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has become accustomed to, it's having to work with multiple different play-callers.
Since arriving to the NFL, Hurts has had a different play-caller to start the season in each year. That actually goes all the way back another four additional years to when he was in college for both Alabama and Oklahoma.
As he prepares for the 2025 season, this time as a Super Bowl champion, Hurts is working with another signal-caller. Former passing game coordinator turned offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo.
"Coach Patullo, he's been here throughout the journey as well," Hurts said. "He's had a different position, always played a pivotal role in what we've done. He's got a great mentality and a great approach coming into everything right now."
The level of respect Hurts has for Patullo is important. It should set the stage for what should be a different looking Eagles offense going into the new season. One that won't rely on the running game as much as they have in the last few years.
"Things evolve and things change as time goes on," Hurts said. "We're just really delving into it. It's really important. It's something that I've learned, that you have to learn to evolve as time goes on.
Philadelphia, and Hurts especially, have evolved a lot over the years. It's a big reason why they have been so successful together. As Patullo begins to put his stamp on the offense, though, the Eagles' franchise quarterback is excited for what is expected to come next.

Former Cowboys HC shows up at Commanders' first day of minicamp
Former Cowboys HC shows up at Commanders' first day of minicamp Mini-camp, Day 1. That's Jason Garrett in blue. — Ben Standig (@BenStandig) June 10, 2025 The Cowboys weren't the only NFC East team to kick off their minicamp on Tuesday. The division rival Commanders also opened up the mandatory portion of their offseason program, and they hosted a very familiar face as one of their Day 1 guests. Former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett was in attendance in Ashburn, Va., at the invitation of current Washington head coach Dan Quinn. It's the second straight year that Quinn has welcomed Garrett to town during minicamp, according to Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports. Quinn "gets the benefit of veteran coaching perspective to check his blind spots," she noted on X, "Garrett gets perspective for his NBC broadcasts. Win-win." Garrett is now over five years removed from his tenure as Cowboys coach, having posted a 87-70 mark in the regular season and playoffs combined in nine-plus seasons in Dallas. He had also been the team's offensive coordinator for four years and played quarterback in the silver and blue for eight more. Yes, his visit with Quinn on Tuesday was much more in keeping with his current job as an NBC analyst, but it still must have been strange for Commanders players to look over during their practice and see the longtime enemy standing there wearing Cowboys colors. Most Washington players, anyway. A few will remember him from their own time in Dallas; Garrett coached Commanders wide receivers Noah Brown and Michael Gallup for multiple seasons, as well as defensive end Dorance Armstrong. And Garrett was a Cowboys teammate of Washington's current linebackers coach, Ken Norton, Jr., for the 1993 season that ended with both men earning a Super Bowl ring.

Myles Garrett on Aaron Rodgers joining Steelers, 'Opportunity to put him in the graveyard'
Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns are scheduled to face Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers twice during the 2025 NFL season. Garrett will have one goal in mind when the AFC North rivals square off. Advertisement "I think it's a good opportunity to put him in the graveyard," Garrett told reporters when asked about Rodgers signing with the Steelers. Garrett's comment was a reference to an annual Halloween tradition for which he has become known. It began when the star edge rusher transformed his front yard into a graveyard featuring the names of notable quarterbacks he had sacked during his career on its tombstones. Now, Garrett comes up with similar displays each year, poking fun at opposing quarterbacks. That included a "Terminator"-inspired setup last season featuring jerseys of Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and even Rodgers. While Rodgers was included in Garrett's 2024 lawn display, the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year has never actually sacked the 41-year-old veteran. The two have only gone head-to-head once during Garrett's eight-year career: a Christmas matchup during the 2021 NFL season. Rodgers completed 24 of 34 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns in the contest while Cleveland failed to register a sack in a 24-22 Green Bay victory. Advertisement Garrett's next chance to add Rodgers to his career sack ledger will come in Week 6 when Cleveland travels to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. The 29-year-old has 102.5 career sacks across 117 games. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Myles Garrett hoping to sack Aaron Rodgers, 'put him in the graveyard'

Cameron Jordan, Tyrann Mathieu debut bold new hairstyles at Saints minicamp
A couple of New Orleans Saints veterans made their 2025 debuts in reporting for work at Tuesday's mandatory minicamp practice -- and two of them were sporting bold new hairstyles. Change is nothing new for Cameron Jordan, who has had some fun with his NFL-mandated headshot each season over the years, but his new platinum locks inspired by HBO's "House of the Dragon" series are something else. Jordan started binging the popular "Game of Thrones" spinoff this summer and picked up some fashion tips along the way. "I wanted to be a Velaryon," Jordan told reporters after practice, referring to one of the noble houses known for their distinctive bleach-blonde hair. "And I was like, 'You know what, this guy. This guy's got something going on.' Now granted, I thought I'd do the beard, too, but I didn't like the way the fumes was rising. So I kept it exactly how I wanted to. I think this is me. I'll see how long it lasts." But Jordan wasn't the only Saints veteran switching it up. Tyrann Mathieu has worn dreads for most of his 12-year NFL career, but he cut them off back earlier this spring. Speaking with reporters at his locker, he joked that "I was trying to shave some years off" before celebrating his 33rd birthday in May. Maybe the change can help him. Mathieu has intercepted 36 passes in his NFL career, trailing only Harrison Smith (37) for the most among active players. He wants that title for himself, and if a fresh cut puts a spring in his step, then so be it.
