Philadelphia

Eagles

Moore’s stock rebounded after he led the Eagles offense to a run-heavy dominance behind Saquon Barkley in 2024. His 2023 stint with the Chargers was rough, but he had a long history of success prior to that with Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy in Dallas. This is his first reported interview of the 2025 offseason, though he did interview with the Chargers for their vacancy in 2024 and was clearly in-demand in 2024 as an OC as the Eagles and Browns both requested to interview him. Still only 35, Moore looks likely to keep getting interviews even if he isn’t one of the top names on the landscape right now.

Hurts entered the league’s concussion protocol after suffering a brain injury in Week 16 against the Commanders. While there’s still a good chance the Eagles’ signal-caller will be back in time for the NFC Wild Card game against the Packers, his extended stay in protocol gets more concerning by the day. The Eagles won’t take the practice field until Wednesday, giving Hurts nearly two more days to get cleared in time to resume practicing with the team. If he’s not able to get on the field Wednesday, there will be legitimate cause for concern about his availability come Sunday. Things remain wait-and-see for now.

Halaby had interview requests from the Panthers and Commanders last offseason and is again on the list for teams’ general manager roles. Halaby has spent 17 seasons with the Eagles and just completed his third season as the team’s assistant general manager. According to the Eagles’ team page, Halaby’s time with the team “has focused on player evaluation, roster management, and resource allocation,” three areas the Jets have come up short in recent years. A disciple of Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman feels like a potential home run hire if he the other pieces fall into place. Halaby is one of a handful of candidates to already have interviews setup with the Jets, who spoke with a handful of available candidates before the season concluded.

Gainwell got the start with Saquon Barkley (rest) sidelined ahead of the NFC Wild Card round. The Eagles’ RB2 didn’t do much with the work given to him, with his longest carry on the day going for five yards. He was eventually replaced by rookie Will Shipley, who fared much better on the day, picking up 67 total yards on 14 touches. Neither back is expected to see much action this postseason as long as Barkley is healthy.

Playing in his first game since Week 13, the Eagles got Goedert involved early. Two of his four receptions came on the Eagles’ first drive, which ended on a touchdown pass to rookie Ainias Smith. Goedert looked good in his return, which was a limited one, as the Eagles opted to sideline him after just 13 snaps. Clearly healthy and ready to go, the Eagles will have Goedert and all of their top pass-catchers available in the NFC Wild Card round against the Packers.

McKee got off to a hot start on his first drive, completing three passes of 15-plus yards and ending the driving with a 15-yard strike to rookie Ainias Smith. McKee was composed throughout the game, playing turnover-free football while absorbing just two sacks in the victory. He would later connect with tight end E.J. Jenkins on a seven-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter for his second of the game, and had four touchdown passes int he two games he played this season. This will presumably be the last we see of McKee this season, with Jalen Hurts or Kenny Pickett expected to start in the NFC Wild Card round.

McKee will make his first career start after throwing for 54 yards and two touchdowns on just four passes last week. Kenny Pickett (ribs) who entered the weekend as questionable is active and will serve as McKee’s backup.

Barkley’s season officially ends with a rush line of 345-2005-13. The decision to rest the star back ahead of the playoffs was expected after head coach Nick Sirianni said earlier in the week that the team planned to rest several starters in the meaningless Week 18 contests. Fantasy managers in the DFS streets can look to Kenneth Gainwell and Will Shipley as cheap streaming options against the Giants defense.

Hurts did not practice this week before being ruled out for a meaningless Week 18 game. While the NFL has taken concussions far more seriously in recent years, we don’t see any way Hurts doesn’t make it back in time for the Eagles’ Wild Card Round matchup with either the Commanders or Packers. Tanner McKee will start today with Kenny Pickett also banged up. Philly’s practice report will be one to monitor throughout the leadup to next week’s games.

Pickett suffered the rib injury in relief of Jalen Hurts in Week 16. He attempted to play through the issue last week but only made it three quarters before aggravating the injury and exiting the game. He failed to practice at all this week and was listed as questionable, a designation he was never going to play through with nothing on the line for Philly in Week 18. Tanner McKee will get his first career start today.
