• Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice reported Hurts, Barkley and Brown held a lengthy, positive conversation earlier in the week.
• Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts confirmed the discussion on the record, with Barkley calling it a private, team-focused talk and Hurts describing it as teammates being teammates.
• After a 34–17 defeat to the Giants, A.J. Brown told reporters he didn’t recall such a meeting, creating a clear discrepancy with his teammates’ accounts.
• The loss was Philadelphia’s second in five days, with Hurts throwing for 283 yards and two touchdowns total (one passing, one rushing), Brown catching six passes for 80 yards, and Barkley rushing 12 times for 58 yards.
