Liam Coen

TB Offensive Coordinator

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Jaguars will have a second interview with Buccaneers’ OC Liam Coen for their head coaching vacancy.

Well then. Just days after signing a contract extension to remain with the Buccaneers, the ousting of Jaguars GM Trent Baalke appears to have caught the attention of Coen. It’s hard to know for sure how much of an impact Baalke’s presence appears to have had on the Jaguars this coaching cycle, but Coen’s willingness to again entertain the job nearly 24 hours after Baalke’s dismissal speaks volumes. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Coen and Jacksonville “appears to be headed towards a deal.” Apparently already in town and speaking with owner Shad Khan, we’ll see how quickly a deal gets done between the two sides.
A.J. Brown

PHI Wide Receiver #11

A.J. Brown (knee) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

Brown was limited on Wednesday but said he was feeling better. That appears to be the case, as the Eagles’ star receiver was upgraded to a full participant in Thursday’s practice and has a chance to be removed from the injury report entirely by Friday. The Eagles have been managing Brown’s injury for the last several weeks in hopes of having him at his best come game day. He’ll be ready to go for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Commanders.
Jalen Hurts

PHI Quarterback #1

Jalen Hurts was listed as a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

You can’t ask for much more than that. Just days after suffering a knee injury in the NFC Divisional Round against the Rams, Hurts went from being limited on Wednesday to a full participant on Thursday. His availability for the NFC Championship was never going to be in question, but how his knee will affect his mobility and ability to evade pressure will be something to watch.
Dallas Goedert

PHI Tight End #88

Dallas Goedert (knee) did not practice on Thursday.

This news comes after head coach Nick Sirianni said Goedert would practice today. Instead, Goedert has started the week with back-to-back DNPs, which casts some doubt over his availability for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Commanders. While two straight absences is concerning, we can’t blame teams for wanting to exercise caution with any injured players. Tomorrow’s final injury report should offer better clarity on where his availability stands heading into the weekend.
Pete Carroll

FA Front Office

The Forth Worth Star-Telegram’s Nick Harris reports Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had an “informal” talk with Pete Carroll regarding their head coaching vacancy.

While the report is being called informal, Harris says, “the interest is legitimate enough to be reported.” It was reported earlier today that the Cowboys could hire offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as its next head coach as early as Thursday, but this latest bit of news on Carroll comes hours after that report. Carroll was thought to have a chance to land the Bears’ head coaching gig before they went out and poached Ben Johnson from the Lions, and there have also been rumors that the Raiders are considering Carroll as their “backup option” after they also lost out on Johnson. Now, the Cowboys could emerge as the third team with serious interest in Carroll, although it sounds like this courting is in its earliest stages. Carroll would have a multitude of offensive weapons at his disposal should he wind up in Dallas, but will have his work cut out for him to fix a defense that ranked 31st in points allowed and 28th in yards allowed last season.
Zach Ertz

WAS Tight End #86

Zach Ertz (ribs) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

Ertz is dealing with a rib injury, but Wednesday’s DNP was to allow him to rest said injury — as was the case last week. The veteran tight end isn’t at risk of missing Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Eagles and will have some upside as a DFS value against his former team.
Pete Carroll

FA Front Office

Underdog’s James Palmer said the “buzz is real” regarding the Raiders’ interest in Pete Carroll to fill their head coaching vacancy.

With the Raiders GM vacancy now filled by former Buccaneers’ assistant GM John Spytek, the team can shift all of its focus to hiring a head coach. Carroll, 73, has been on a handful of teams’ coaching radars this offseason, and it was reported earlier this week by The Athletic’s Tashan Reed that he is “believed to be” the “backup” option to fill their head coaching vacancy. With former Lions OC turned Bears HC Ben Johnson the presumed top choice at the time, Carroll could now slide into the pole position for the Raiders job. Palmer cites Carroll’s familiarity with Tom Brady as something that could give him an inside edge on the job, while also highlighting Carroll’s track record as a proven winner. With one Super Bowl title under his belt and two Super Bowl appearances during his 14-year tenure with the Seahawks, it’s easy to see why he would be an attractive hire for a franchise in desperate need of wins and stability at head coach.
Jalen Hurts

PHI Quarterback #1

Jalen Hurts (knee) was spotted at Thursday’s practice.

Hurts could be seen dressed for practice and with his helmet in hand. The Eagles’ QB1 was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday and will likely carry a similar designation on Thursday. Hurts isn’t expected to do too much in practice as he deals with a knee injury he suffered in Sunday’s win over the Rams, but there’s little reason to be concerned about his availability for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game at this time.
Dallas Goedert

PHI Tight End #88

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Dallas Goedert (ankle) will practice on Thursday.

Goedert’s ankle injury sidelined him for Wednesday’s practice, but the veteran tight end will be back on the field in some capacity on Thursday. Goedert’s injury appears to be a minor issue. He did not seem limited by it in last week’s win over the Rams, and should be good to go for Sunday’s game against the Commanders, barring any setback.
Bill Belichick

FA Head Coach

North Carolina coach Bill Belichick has signed his contract with the team.

Anybody on contract watch in hopes of Belichick returning to the NFL may now resign from their post. While anything remains possible, Belichick signing his contract with the program puts multiple speculations to rest over whether or not he would be required to pay a $10 million buyout should he take an NFL head coaching job any time between now and June 1. Belichick seemed most closely “linked” to the Cowboys after they opted to not renew Mike McCarthy’s coach last week, but Belichick never had an official sit down with the team. Belichick appears ready to full dive into the college coaching ranks, as he continues to hit the recruiting trail for the Tar Heels after agreeing to become their head coach back in mid-December.
