Eagles-Chiefs inactives: 2 veteran edge rushers are healthy scratches again

-

The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced the inactives list for their 2025 NFL Week 2 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The following Eagles players WILL NOT PLAY: Dallas Goedert, Will Shipley, Tanner McKee, Drew Kendall, Azeez Ojulari, and Ogbo Okoronkwo.

Goedert was ruled out on Friday due to a knee injury. Grant Calcaterra figures to start with Kylen Granson serving as the second tight end. The Eagles also temporarily elevated Cameron Latu (who is making his NFL regular season debut) from the practice squad for even more TE depth. Latu might also factor in at fullback in addition to playing special teams.

Shipley was ruled out on Friday due to a rib injury. A.J. Dillon and newcomer Tank Bigsby are the active running backs behind Saquon Barkley. It’ll be interesting to see how the Eagles use Bigsby; he might have a limited role on offense in addition to returning kicks.

McKee is notably designated as the emergency third quarterback, unlike in Week 1. This means he can play if both Jalen Hurts and Sam Howell get knocked out. McKee was ruled questionable on Friday due to a thumb injury. He only began throwing again on Friday, so, he’s not quite ready to play but he could be good to go as QB2 in Week 3.

Kendall is a healthy scratch again. He’s the ninth offensive lineman behind eight active blockers.

Veteran edge rushers Ojulari and Okoronkwo are healthy scratches for the second straight game. Weird that the team feels the need to have seven edge rushers on the roster when two aren’t even playing.

Za’Darius Smith is active to make his Eagles debut after signing with the team on September 5.

Ty Robinson is active after being a healthy scratch in Week 1. The rookie is likely the fifth defensive tackle behind Jalen Carter, Moro Ojomo, Jordan Davis, and Byron Young.

Trace Carroll, close friend of ASU's Dillingham, takes over as Chaparral football coach

-
Trace Carroll, who was teammates and best friends with Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham in high school, is returning to Scottsdale Chaparral to lead the football program. Carroll played for two of the greatest high school coaches in Arizona history, Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle. He played at the tail end of Estabrook's career and the start of Ragle's tenure at the school. He was an offensive lineman, next to future NFL tackle Taylor Lewan, on the 2008 team that reached the state final, before losing to Scottsdale Saguaro. The quarterback of that team, Spencer Stone, is actress Emma Stone's brother. "As a proud alumni and as a former football player at Chaparral for Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle, I look forward to continuing the program’s great success," Carroll said. Carroll, like Dillingham, got into coaching almost immediately after graduating from high school, helping Ragle out at Chaparral. He spent the past six years as a quarterbacks coach at P...

Report: Florida basketball to have one of the ‘top basketball NIL budgets in the SEC’

-
The Florida basketball program has flourished under head coach Todd Golden , with his emphasis on leveraging the transfer portal playing a key role in their success. The team finished the season with an incredible 30-4 record and won the SEC Tournament, a testament to Golden's ability to build a winning roster through experienced transfers. Every starter besides Alex Condon was a transfer portal acquisition for Golden and the Gators. Walter Clayton Jr. transferred from Iona, Will Richard came from Belmont, Alijah Martin transferred from Florida Atlantic University and Rueben Chinyelu was a former Washington State Cougar. Florida remains well-positioned to attract top-tier transfers, thanks in large part to its significant financial backing in Name, Image and Likeness deals. According to Joe Tipton, a national basketball reporter for On3, the Gators' NIL budget will be ranked among the highest in the SEC. View this post on Instagram A ...
