Arcega-Whiteside, went off for 104 yards and a touchdown. Agholor's usage showed that the Eagles consider him a starter, but Arcega-Whiteside's performance could certainly force the hand of […]

Josh McCown Plays Well on Thursday
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Josh McCown played most of Thursday's preseason game and looked good, completing 17 of his 24 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns.

Mack Hollins Expected to Make the Roster
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins is expected to make his way onto the team's 53-man roster.

Unless several injuries strike the Eagles receivers, Hollins will be […]
