Aikman, Buck Float Jason Kelce Return as Eagles' Slide Exposes O-Line Woes

The commentary gained traction following reports of a Philip Rivers workout in the hours after Philadelphia's third straight loss.

Overview

  • During ESPN's Monday Night Football, Joe Buck suggested the Eagles call retired center Jason Kelce, and Troy Aikman said he would be knocking on Kelce's door each week.
  • The on-air discussion followed reports that the Colts brought in 44-year-old Philip Rivers for a workout, fueling talk of unlikely comebacks.
  • Philadelphia dropped to 8-5 with a loss to the Chargers, and Jason Kelce reacted on X with a one-word post: "Fml."
  • Coverage notes no indication Kelce intends to return, with observers citing his reduced playing weight and current media commitments as barriers.
  • The Eagles' interior line issues persisted as Landon Dickerson exited and Lane Johnson was unavailable, Cam Jurgens has underperformed in pass protection, and the team previously brought Brandon Graham back from retirement.
