"We’re also going to do it in a way that protects the Eagles and protects the taxpayers," Shapiro said.

It was ugly all around on Friday, but Hurts, the defensive line, and the coaching staff deserve a fair share of the blame.

Carter can seemingly be as disruptive as he wants and made a difference on Saturday. Meanwhile, the cornerback competition continues in camp. And receiver Darius Cooper saw action with the starters.

Undrafted out of Tarleton State, Cooper had six catches for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' preseason-opening win.

McKee had a big night, completing 20-for-25 passes for three total touchdowns. Kelee Ringo and Adoree Jackson had their struggles against the Bengals' starting offense and Ja’Marr Chase.

In the final practice for the Eagles in over a month, several depth players on last year's team staked their claim for larger roles this season.

Tuesday marked the second practice of the year open to media and provided another glimpse into the makeup of the Eagles' roster. Here's what we learned.

The first open organized team activity of the season featured a lot of new faces in prominent roles and several more familiar ones absent.

Entering his fifth season as the Eagles' starter, Hurts will have yet another offensive coordinator in Kevin Patullo. But despite the coaching changes, the quarterback hasn't changed his approach.

Douglas will be back in a senior scouting role with the Eagles after the Jets fired him as GM in November, according to NFL sources.

Patch, the Eagles’ senior director of college scouting, was a key figure in the team's recent success in the NFL draft.

As the Eagles partied, Fangio was left smiling after winning his first Super Bowl title. His defense validated its standing as one of the NFL's best in recent memory by taking down Patrick Mahomes.

Fangio has led a full life — boyfriend, father, grandfather, protégé, colleague, mentor, coach, and friend. Those close to him confirm that what you see is what you get, on and off the field.

Jurgens was forced to gut out playing the NFC title game with a back injury when his replacement at center, Landon Dickerson, went down with an injury of his own. Next up, the Super Bowl.

Hurts isn’t supposed to be a $50 million game manager, and even though the Eagles are in the NFC championship game, an injury could hamper his mobility after the quarterback was sacked seven times.

Jalen Hurts did his job, for the most part. Oren Burks and Isaiah Rodgers step into key spots because of injuries.

The Eagles advanced to the divisional round despite how for the greater part of the first three quarters, the offense was impotent as the passing game struggled.

After his untimely ejection in last week's loss helped spoil a chance to capture the division, Gardner-Johnson made up for it against the Cowboys.

The off-ball linebackers contributed to a stout run defense for the Eagles. Nakobe Dean led the team in tackles with 12 and Zack Baun had 11.

Jalen Hurts only managed 108 passing yards which left top wide receivers Brown and Smith searching for answers.

The red-hot Eagles with Saquon Barkley going for the single-season franchise record for rushing yards could make for a lopsided game against the 3-9 Panthers.
