The Athletic's Bo Wulf writes that of the Philadelphia Eagles' big three, tight end Dallas Goedert is probably the most likely to surpass his number's from last year (55 catches and 702 yards in 12 games).

Marcus Mariota Has Struggled With Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Marcus Mariota isn't going anywhere as the backup to Jalen Hurts, but he has struggled mightily so far in training camp.

Kyle Trask Has Closed The Gap In QB Competition
At mandatory minicamp seven weeks ago, it looked like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting quarterback job was Baker Mayfield's to lose by a wide margin.
