Eagles practice report: Sam Bradford, Connor Barwin, Walter Thurmond out

Head coach Chip Kelly was quick to kill any brewing talk of a quarterback controversy telling the Eagles official website, “When Sam is healthy, he’ll be our starting quarterback”. The Eagles announced that Bradford’s X-rays were negative, but they ruled him out for the remainder of the game.

However, the game on Sunday had a different ending as Sanchez appeared ineffective against the Dolphins.

The impact: This is a narrow 7-6 win for the Dolphins, but, hey, they did win the game by one.

Sam Bradford’s return to the Eagles lineup is out of Chip Kelly’s control.

“The ball was in slow motion coming down. It made no sense, but I was able to make a play”.

“Those aren’t excuses but what we really have to understand is how important each play is when you’re out there and the attention to detail and doing the little things right”, Kelly said. Suh had one sack and three tackles for a loss. “It says something about our toughness when we hit adversity”. “He’s got a feel of what we’re trying to do defensively”. Receiver Rishard Matthews (five receptions, 93 yards) was productive once again. From the 4, a Tannehill pass was deflected and sailed high in the air before Landry gathered it in.

Caleb Sturgis made a 37-yard field goal to get Philadelphia within 20-19, but he didn’t get a chance to try another.

Hewitt, Hull and Lippett contributed from scrimmage, and kicker Andrew Franks (two field goals, two extra points) and punter Matt Darr (eight punts, 49.1 yards per punt) were also solid.

SAFETY DANCE: The Dolphins have now allowed a safety for the third straight game.

Safety Walter Thurmond didn’t practice and neither did linebacker Connor Barwin.

“It was just a miscommunication between me and Miles. But I saw Jarvis see the ball, and the defender did not see the ball”.

It’s the first time since the 1970 National Football League merger that a team had only two games scheduled in its stadium in the first 10 weeks of the season, according to STATS.

Miami’s defense has struggled significantly this season, mostly against the run. F–, just a awful blocking performance.

He had a sack and three tackles for a loss against the Eagles.

“He was in the backfield all day”, Campbell said. Miami then lost starting CB Brice McCain to a knee injury.

“When we arrived last night, he was not feeling well. But we have a long season ahead of us and we just have to be ready to play”. We ran a naked [bootleg] once where the defensive end didn’t bite.

“I wouldn’t have been any help to the team”.

“If you want a quote, here it is: That was the worst game of my entire career”, Kelce said afterward. “I had food poisoning and that was causing me to throw up”, he said. After that, it should get much easier in the ranking. They have an embarrassment of riches at running back and after a rocky start, have certainly improved and look poised to put up huge numbers in the second half of the season. Tight ends Brent Celek and Zach Ertz combined for 11 catches for 202 yards.

“I don’t know if it would have been a touchdown, but I probably would have had a decent gain”, he said. “That’s how football goes. You have to overcome a few of that stuff and we still had an opportunity at the end of the game to win and we just didn’t do it”.
