Report: Eagles FB Ben VanSumeren done for the season www.phillyvoice.com/report-eagle...
Jimmy Kempski (@jimmykempski.bsky.social)
Can't speak for the man, but he's 33 years old. Probably didn't mind missing camp. Might've been waiting out the right fit / team that would pay him. 9 sacks in 2024 suggests he can still play a little, at least as a role player. We'll see.

Jalen Hurts had 4 incompletions last night. 3 were throwaways, 1 was a drop by Saquon. Otherwise he was 19/19.

Jimmy Kempski (@jimmykempski.bsky.social)
Great ball by Hurts. And Dotson answering the call on his first big opportunity is a good sign for the Eagles offense.
Jimmy Kempski (@jimmykempski.bsky.social)
Don't like the conservative approach here. Offense is humming. Don't let the clock run down to the 2 minute warning. Go score points.
Jimmy Kempski (@jimmykempski.bsky.social)
Not so sure Adoree' Jackson is long for the starting lineup.
Jimmy Kempski (@jimmykempski.bsky.social)
Jalen Hurts is good.
Jimmy Kempski (@jimmykempski.bsky.social)
The Eagles didn't score a 1st Q point until Week 9 last year. They get on the board early in 2025.
Jimmy Kempski (@jimmykempski.bsky.social)
After a rudimentary google search, it doesn't appear that players are typically suspended in the NFL for spitting on other players. Just fined. So Jalen Carter may avoid further missed time. But, we'll see.

Likely starters, IMO: LB: Jihaad Campbell CB: Adoree’ Jackson S: Sydney Brown, initially, with the possibility of Andrew Mukuba eventually supplanting him.

Vic Fangio says he knows who the starters are at CB, S, etc., but will let Nick Sirianni announce that. (Nick probably won’t announce that.)

If the Cowboys can’t get to the QB — which will be harder for them now for obvious reasons — could be trouble on the back end.

DAL starting CBs: Diggs, Bland, and Kaiir Elam 😬. Diggs may or may not play. 3 primary backups — Caelen Carson, Josh Butler, Shavon Revel — are all on IR/PUP/NFI. 3 reserves thereafter are 2 waiver claims (Trikweke Bridges, Reddy Stewart), & a career STs guy (CJ Goodwin).

Jimmy Kempski (@jimmykempski.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, they certainly couldn’t stop the run 😂
Jimmy Kempski (@jimmykempski.bsky.social)
Jerry Jones just said that the Cowboys only contacted teams for a trade that (a) had the cap space to take on Parsons (ok fine), and (b) had a good DT they could get in return. To limit the pool of offers to teams that have a DT you like is insanity.

I didn't say they can't. But 22 teams voted to ban it on the premise that it doesn’t belong in the game because it’s too dangerous. Just interesting to me to see which teams are willing to put their players' health at excessive risk, in this case in a meaningless preseason game.

Common "rebuttal" by Commanders fans who don't want their team to be super old is, "Well if you take out this guy or that guy, then their average age is lower." Of course, that premise can be applied to every other team, too. But really, it's team-wide for them. 29+ y/o players:

It's insane to me. They have a young QB who could be great for the next 10+ years. Give him players to grow with. Don't surround him with old mercenaries just to be, what, something like the 5th best team in the conference heading into the season?
Jimmy Kempski (@jimmykempski.bsky.social)
Eagles' average age is 25.49. If you took the 27 oldest Commanders players and shaved 5 years off each of their ages, their roster would still be older than the Eagles'.
Jimmy Kempski (@jimmykempski.bsky.social)
I've been calculating the average age of every team in the NFL at final cutdowns every year since 2012. The 2 oldest teams previously were the 2023 Saints and 2018 Raiders, at an average age of 27.4 years old. The 2025 Commanders at 53-man cutdowns have an average age of 28.1.
