The Eagles, nevertheless, decided to roll the dice and make their sixth-round pick in the 2023 draft their backup plan at quarterback if Jalen Hurts goes down in 2025.

FOXBOROUGH — It was a hot day at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday as the New England Patriots took the field for the second straight padded practice. The competition is certainly ramping up, but it was the defense that came out on top during the sixth training camp session.

The Buffalo Bills have battled through a slew of injuries in the early going of training camp, with 11 players missing Monday’s session at St. John Fisher University. On Tuesday, first-round cornerback Maxwell Hairston was added to the list of the walking wounded after appearing to suffer a non-contact injury to his right knee.
