via @Eagles: Super Bowl LII Champ. Three-time Pro Bowler. Welcome to the Eagles Hall of Fame, @MalcolmJenkins.
Jenkins, a New Jersey native, took his talents to Ohio State for college in 2005. After spending a few seasons with the Buckeyes, Jenkins was selected by the New Orleans Saints in 2009. He was the 14th overall pick in the draft, ranking out as one of the top rookies at the cornerback position.
With the Saints, Jenkins played a pivotal role for five seasons. As a rookie, he appeared in 14 games, even picking up six starts. He was a part of New Orleans' Super Bowl-winning team that year, logging 55 tackles, four pass deflections, and one interception.

For the remainder of his first stint with the Saints, Jenkins was a full-time starter. He hit the free agency market in 2014. The veteran, who made a move to safety, signed with the Eagles on a three-year deal. At the time, Jenkins hadn't reached his status as a Pro Bowler. With the Eagles, that changed.
During his first season in Philadelphia, Jenkins racked up a career-high 109 tackles. He had 10 pass deflections and two interceptions. Over the next two seasons, Jenkins produced over 70 tackles in each campaign, picking off quarterbacks five times.

In 2017, Jenkins helped the Eagles' defense make a Super Bowl run. After Philadelphia defeated the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship, the Eagles found success against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. Jenkins had one of the highlight plays in the game, which was a hit on Patriots receiver Brandin Cooks.
The 2019 season ended up being Jenkins' final run with the Eagles. After 81 tackles and 2.5 sacks, Jenkins was back on the free agency market. He returned to the Saints for two more years. After the 2021 NFL season, Jenkins called it a career officially.
In six seasons with the Eagles, Jenkins generated over 500 tackles. He had 58 pass deflections, 12 forced fumbles, 11 interceptions, and four touchdowns. He's the first safety to enter the franchise's Hall of Fame since Brian Dawkins collected the honor in 2012.

NFLPA lawyer placed on leave after her allegations led to FBI probe, per report
The latest twist in the drama that has consumed the NFL Players Association features a lawyer who reportedly squared off with former executive director Lloyd Howell and is now facing some charges herself. Heather McPhee, associate general counsel for the NFLPA since 2009, was placed on paid administrative leave Tuesday after multiple employees filed complaints against her with the union's human resources department, according to ESPN's Don Van Natta Jr. and Jeff Passan. McPhee reportedly faces accusations of failing to follow supervisors' directions, bullying colleagues and disrupting the union's work environment. The decision to place her on leave reportedly comes months after her own allegations helped trigger an FBI investigation into the NFLPA, the MLBPA and their OneTeam Partners licensing company. Matt Curtin, the head of the NFLPA's licensing arm and a member of the OneTeam board, is among those who filed complaints against McPhee. There were several other problems facing the NFLPA by the time Howell resigned last month, but the only one that prompted action by federal authorities was the OneTeam matter. In June 2024, the eight-member board of directors, which included Howell, signed a resolution that could have personally entitled them to considerable compensation from the OneTeam partnership. McPhee reportedly wrote multiple memos suggesting the NFLPA could face legal jeopardy if it went through with the bonus plan and urged the union to investigate claims that the board members had allocated equity shares to themselves. The plan ultimately did not go through. Per The Athletic, OneTeam brought in $101 million for the NFLPA alone from early 2024 into 2025. The NFLPA reportedly owns 44% of the licensing firm, with the MLBPA owning 22% and three other union representing the MLS, USWNT and WNBA owning much smaller shares. Outside investors make the remainder of the ownership. ESPN notes that McPhee has not been deemed a whistleblower in the FBI case, leaving her with fewer legal protections against any retaliation. The NFLPA has been operating under new leadership since Howell announced his resignation, with former SAG-AFTRA executive director David White acting as interim head.

Rams' Matthew Stafford set to put back to test in Saturday workout
Matthew Stafford's back injury recovery is going to be put to the test. Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters Thursday that Stafford, who is battling an aggravated disk, will participate in workouts Saturday morning. The quarterback was not a part of practice on Wednesday or the Rams' joint practice with the Saints on Thursday. 3 Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (9) walks on the field prior to the game against the Dallas Cowboys at SoFi Stadium. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Speaking to reporters following Thursday's practice, McVay said Stafford's Saturday workout will be similar to last week, hoping that this time the two-time Pro Bowler shows some improvements in his recovery. 'Hopefully [his back] responds a little bit better,' McVay told reporters. McVay added that he believes that Stafford's injury is a mix of pain management and overall back function. 'But we're trying to get our hands around this as well, so I don't really have much more information other than think we're trying some different things that are hopefully going to be in alignment with getting him back out on the field,' he said. 3 Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, left, talks with quarterback Matthew Stafford, right, during an NFL football practice Saturday, July 26, 2025, in Los Angeles, Calif. AP Stafford threw 68 passes in his workout at the Rams' team facility last Saturday and did not show any limitations in the types of throws he could make. McVay said then that Stafford's next step would be to go through individual drills during Monday's practice, but the 37-year-old was ultimately unable to participate. According to McVay, Stafford 'felt good' but did not 'feel good enough' to throw just two days following his workout last Saturday, adding that the team 'didn't think [practicing] was the right thing to do based on how he woke up feeling.' 3 Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford stands on the sideline during an NFL training camp Tuesday, July 29, 2025, in Los Angeles, Calif. AP The head coach said potential surgery discussions concerning Stafford have yet to happen, adding: 'That hasn't been a conversation that we've had.' 'I haven't gone down that road yet in terms of those types of conversations,' McVay said. 'There's been a lot of conversations about what's the best method of how we want to approach it. That hasn't been something that comes up.' Stafford, who is set to enter his 17th NFL season, threw for 3,762 passing yards and 20 touchdowns last season for the Rams, leading the team to a 10-7 record and an NFC West title.

This article originally appeared on Pittsburgh Steelers third-year offensive tackle Broderick Jones is still adjusting to moving to the left side, but the more he does it, the easier it gets. 'It was never about being comfortable,' Jones said at St. Vincent College on Tuesday. 'It's just the repetition and getting used to being back on that side. That's all it really is for me, continuing to get reps on the left side.' Jones is coming off a standout performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first preseason game. Jones did not allow a single pressure in 12 snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. He was going up against Pro Bowl edge rusher Josh Hines-Allen, too.
