The Eagles will wear Kelly Green jerseys against the Jaguars Week 9 and the Cowboys Week 17

Evan Macy had us covered on that on Friday. That's a primetime game against the Jags. The Eagles-Cowboys matchup is scheduled for 4:25 p.m.


In 2022, when teams were (finally) allowed to wear an alternate helmet (with a base color that differed from their primary helmet), the Eagles would have gone with Kelly green helmets, however there were complications in color matching it to the team's satisfaction. So, instead of rolling out some bobo Kelly green version that didn't look quite right, they instead opted to wear black helmets as their alternate color that season. 



In 2023, of course, the Eagles unveiled their Kelly greens for the first time in over a decade against the Dolphins and Bills, both wins.


At the 2024 owners meetings in March, Lurie informally expressed to the reporters in attendance after his presser was over that he hoped the NFL would allow for a third helmet so that the team could also wear the black ones on occasion. A couple weeks later, the NFL announced that they are indeed allowing a third helmet. So, you know, if the Eagles haven't since thought of something cooler/better than the black helmet, then they will probably wear the black helmet a time or two this season as well.



There will be no NFL Supplemental Draft this year

The NFL sent out a memo this past week that there will be no Supplemental Draft in 2024.

This is a blow to me personally, as I usually get an article out of the Supplemental Draft entries every year, and whether the Eagles will have interest or not. (They usually don't.)

To be determined if the Eagles' defense will be good in 2024. What is certain is that they are going to be fast. A quick look at the Eagles' projected starters (plus some additional cornerbacks) and their 40 times at the NFL Combine (via Mockdraftable):
