  • Quarterback Jalen Hurts publicly challenged the team with the question “Who are we?” and urged deliberate, collective improvement during the short week.
  • Philadelphia placed LB Chance Campbell on the practice-squad injured list and signed LB Anfernee Orji to the practice squad as immediate depth moves before Week 4.
