Wynn played at least one more play after that video that the high school kid posted, and that's the same video Chao used. I don't recall any Achilles ruptures where a guy tore his Achilles, played another down of football (and blocked well on it!), and then walked off the field under his own power, but maybe I'm wrong. ACL tears are different, but you don't walk off with an Achilles.

Petraglia tweeted ankle injury questionable to return so that would seem to be from the team.
 
I've just never seen anyone walk off with an Achilles rupture under their own power, but I could very well be wrong.
 
Chao is neutral and rarely wrong . but better to walk into the night with a more positive spin

 
I havent seen Jackon get beat.
Did I miss it?
Yes, he was torched on a long bomb where he barely even contested it. At least that’s how it appeared in real time. I haven’t watched any replays, but it was definitely Jackson getting smoked.
 
Thoughts on the game.

#1 Wynn going down sucks. I thought it was an ACL when i saw it but talk of an ankle injury convinced me otherwise. Now it seems like that may be what it is. Bad news, particularly if Cannon can't come back. That is now the 3 top draft picks for the Patriot not being on the field tonight.

#2 It looks like the Eagles may be having a super bowl hangover. They seem to have lost a bit of their egde. With Foles going down and Wentz still iffy and after seeing the lack of fight in their team it makes one wonder if they have any realistic chance to make a deep run at this point.

#3 The pass rush looks good. Clayborn had a monster game and Rivers/Wise did their parts as well. Add in Flowers and this team will never have someone in the lineup who can't threaten to get to the QB. I don't think it will be a 'great' pass rush but it will be good.

#4 Bentley has made me a believer. As the announcer said. The kid has it. He just knows how to feel the game and be in the right spots. His aestheticism isn't great but it is passable if he has the savvy that he looks to. He made a few rookie mistake and will make more but there looks to be something there.

#5 The CB depth isn't all that great. A lot of interesting kids but no one looks like a 'Butler' to me. I think Jackson still has an inside track on team. McCourty made 1 bad play where he got absolutely beat but his night wasn't all that bad. No way i cut him to carry another one of these kids at this point.

#6 It wasn't talked about much but the run D was again pretty solid led by Shelton.

#7 The offense will be fine. Maybe WR could use some help but i believe this offense will score points in the first 4 games. Hogan is a reliable target pretty much and Brady can work with Dorsett and Patterson. When you have other guys like White, Burkhead and Gronk to throw to you will make it work. Let's not freak out about it.

#8 Brady's deep ball could use a little more sharpening up. They don't need it but it would be nice. Patterson looks like the best option right now. Dorsett has not been able to get separation on those deep routes.

I couldn't think of 2 more good ones to round it out. So 8 is all you get

Reactions: jah
Eagles seemed awfully tense. They need to loosen up and have some fun. I’d rather win one pre season game having fun than win 100 being robots.
 
Pretty sure that Hue Jackson has that printed on a bumper sticker, somewhere.
It’s his car, and he’s gonna drive it how he wants it. Lmao at him talking down to Todd Haley like Haley doesn’t have like ten times the wins as head coach.

Edit: Looked it up, Haley has 19x as many wins.

Dorsett sucks! At this point i am hoping britt gets healthy. At least the guy has had success in the league.
