7 Philadelphia Eagles on the roster bubble entering training camp
With the report date just five days away, we're looking at seven big-named Eagles who are squarely on the roster bubble. The Eagles have a dominant roster, with ten players landing in the top ten rankings from ESPN's positional poll. Philadelphia has few holes on the roster, and even less opportunity for an under-the-radar or veteran player to steal a job or cause a surprise cut. In five days, they'll return to the NovaCare Complex entirely motivated after an offseason of slights and trash talk from looming opponents. With the report date just five days away, we're looking at seven big-named Eagles who are squarely on the roster bubble. RB AJ Dillon Dillon, a 27-year-old running back, is returning to the field after missing the 2024 season due to a neck injury. The Eagles are hoping Dillon can replicate the success he had in Green Bay, where he amassed significant scrimmage yards between 2021 and 2023, but he's only under contract for $1,197,500. WR Terrace Marshall The former LSU star, still only 24, was once a second-round pick in 2021 but has had a disappointing NFL career. Marshall's best season came in 2022, when he had 28 catches for 490 yards and one score with the Panthers. Last season with the Raiders, Marshall had just three catches for 41 yards and offers intriguing athleticism as a long shot. TE Harrison Bryant Philadelphia has Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra as the top two tight ends, and Bryant will compete with Kylen Granson for a roster spot. Bryant finishes his 2024 campaign with nine receptions for 86 yards on 12 targets across 13 games with the Raiders, primarily providing depth at tight end behind All-Pro rookie Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer. OL Kenyon Green Acquired in a trade for C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Green was the No. 15 overall pick out of Texas A&M back in 2022. Green missed all of 2023 with a shoulder injury, and before suffering another shoulder issue last October, he led all guards in pressures allowed (36). He ranked third in quick pressures allowed (14), per NFL Next Gen Stats. OLB Patrick Johnson More of a pass rusher than run stopper, Johnson will compete with Josh Uche and Azeez Ojulari for a roster spot. CB Eli Ricks Ricks was supposed to move up the Eagles' depth chart after a season spent watching and continuing to learn his craft. He'll compete with Adoree Jackson and Mac McWilliams for snaps. DB Lewis Cine The goal in adding Lewis Cine on January 8th was to give him a head start on the upcoming season. He's had some time in Vic Fangio's system. Now, he's expected to compete for a roster spot and hopefully live up to the 32nd overall selection the Minnesota Vikings spent on him in 2022.

Warriors put stake in Brisbane heartland with academy
The greatest rugby league players to lace a boot have come out of Logan and now the Warriors are in prime position to snare the next crop. The fourth-placed Warriors will establish a training academy and community program in the city in Brisbane's south to offer an elite training and identification program and assist young people connect with sport and find career paths outside of footy. Cameron Smith, Lote Tuqiri, Corey Parker, Brad Meyers, Josh Papalii and Jaydn Su'A are just a taste of the elite stars to have been produced by the Logan Brothers junior powerhouse club alone. The Warriors have watched on as a suite of their best junior players joined Australian-based clubs on scholarships and moved into elite development systems. The great Benji Marshall was a trailblazer who attended league powerhouse Keebra Park High on the Gold Coast as a youth before moving into the Wests Tigers system. His move inspired a suite of players from New Zealand to follow suit and most of them were snapped up by NSW or Queensland-based clubs. The new academy at Logan will help reverse that trend and with the huge number of New Zealand-born migrants in southeast Queensland will give them great access to elite youth, not just from Pacific nations but also local talent. Warriors boss Cameron George said the club would establish permanent staff in Logan to work closely with the community. "As a club, we focus on the person first and foremost. It's not just about footy – it's about providing opportunities to all young people so they can reach their potential," he said. "Our elite academy for boys and girls in Logan will provide a direct pathway to the Warriors NRL and NRLW teams. "Through the community program we'll also be offering come-and-try days, school visits and talent identification." The Broncos, Gold Coast and most recently Dolphins have been in the best position to source juniors from their near neighbour Logan but now the Warriors are set to be a force. The partnership with Logan City Council is one that Mayor Jon Raven said should fit hand in glove. "Logan is the leading rugby league nursery in the nation and has one of the largest populations of people of New Zealand and Pacific Island descent outside of Auckland," he said. "The Warriors are known for their strong community connections and supporting development opportunities for young people, which are values we love here in Logan."
