SPORTS NEWS
- ➤ The Eagles may target LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane in the 2026 NFL Draft—his strong stats and versatile coverage at LSU suggest he could bolster the team’s defense. His standout play against Clemson and smooth transition from Virginia Tech make him a potential disruptive force for the team. Metro Philadelphia
- ➤ Sixers’ guard Tyrese Maxey has averaged high scoring in his first five games of the season, tying the team’s opening-night record with 40 points and recording a 43-point game against the Hornets—helping his team reach a near-perfect start. Although he is playing at an MVP level, he is still receiving little national attention compared to top-rated players. Metro Philadelphia
- ➤ The Eagles acquired two-time All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander and a 2027 seventh-round pick (in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick) from the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, and GM Howie Roseman said he expects Alexander to boost the defense if he recovers from his knee surgery. The team also placed safety Marcus Epps and linebacker Azeez Ojulari on injured reserve (adding to a busy day of roster moves). Metro Philadelphia
