Chip Kelly says he has no interest in leaving the Eagles for USC, or any college

As we noted here earlier in the week, ever since Chip Kelly landed in Philadelphia, sportswriters have for some reason linked him with whatever latest major college football program suddenly had a new opening. And sure enough, as he always does, Kelly said he had no interest when he was asked about leaving Philadelphia, this time for USC.

For the gambling degenerates, here are my Week 6 picks. To note, the helmets indicate who I think will win the game, not cover the spread. At the end of the picks, I'll note a few teams that I like based on the spread.

Tom Coughlin: Victor Cruz has 'not been cleared to begin on the field'

The last time Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz played a game was when he tore his ACL in the end zone in Philadelphia during Week 6 of the 2014 season. In Week 6 of the 2015 season, it appears as though Cruz will likely not play as he is trying to recover from a calf injury.

Grading the Eagles after five games: Linebacker edition

As we noted when we graded the Eagles defensive linemen yesterday, we started grading all the position groups at the quarter point in the season last week. However, I bit off a little more than I could chew, and only got through the offense. So this week, we'll grade the positional groups on the defense, as we continue on with the linebackers.

Byron Maxwell playing better with a reduced role

The Eagles felt that Byron Maxwell was the best cornerback on the market during free agency this past offseason, which was why they signed him to a $63 million deal. Clearly, their expectations were high.

Week 5 of the NFL season is in the books, and the really bad teams are starting to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. There was carnage this week, as we killed off three more teams. Here's this week's hierarchy/obituary:

Eagles sign offensive tackle Tanner Hawkinson

Hawkinson was previously a fifth round pick of the Bengals in 2013. Like many of the other Eagles' offensive linemen, he is a little undersized but has very good athletic measurables.

Grading the Eagles after five games: Defensive line edition

Last week, we started grading all the position groups at the quarter point in the season, but I bit off a little more than I could chew, and only got through the offense. So this week, we'll grade the positional groups on the defense, starting with the defensive line.
