No. 1 in the 30-second version

Eagles release wide receiver Hollywood Brown at his request, according to ESPN.

Brown appeared in only four games for Philadelphia, with one start and five catches for 63 yards. ProFootballTalk reported Brown was available in trades but drew no offers, and that his contract will go through waivers because the trade deadline has passed.

No. 2 in the 30-second version

Eagles waive OT Fred Johnson and WR Hollywood Brown, with the team sitting at 2-7.

Brown reportedly requested his release, and he and the Eagles reached a non-injury settlement, ESPN's Tim McManus first reported. Johnson, 29, has played in seven games this season, behind rookie Markel Bell at right tackle. The Eagles expect DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks to return after missing three games with injuries.

Eagles have stockpiled premium draft picks through trades like A.J. Brown's, a columnist argues.

In June, Philadelphia traded A.J. Brown to the Patriots for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick. The NBC Sports Philadelphia column says Brown has played only three games this year because of knee problems, and it also covers a trade for Cam Jurgens that brought a second-round pick from Baltimore.

Giants fall 21-24 to Commanders after a late touchdown drive and a disputed DPI penalty.

John Harbaugh said the failed third-and-1 quarterback sneak by Jameis Winston was a normal sneak and not a Tush Push. Harbaugh said he would not have tried the delay-of-game trick on the fourth-and-1 play again. CBS Sports reported Giants players criticized the DPI penalty, and ESPN said New York's division lead is shrinking.

Jaguars will sit newly acquired Jessie Bates and Jordan Davis Sunday against the Titans.

Coach Liam Coen said both players did not have bye weeks with their previous teams, while Jacksonville has already had its bye. Davon Godchaux, who did have a bye, is set to play. Coen said the decision gives the players a week to learn the system.

Lamar Jackson has surgery on a broken and dislocated thumb and will be out 6-10 weeks.

CBS Sports reports Jacoby Brissett will take over at quarterback in Jackson's absence. Coach Jesse Minter said Jackson is doing 'well' but called such timelines 'challenging to predict,' according to ESPN.
