The NFL's annual media circus event took place on Monday night, and as expected, there were plenty of newsworthy tidbits to emerge. With the Super Bowl just around the corner, the spotlight was on the league's top teams and players. Here's a rundown of the most talked-about stories from the event:

Eagles in Australia

According to a report from the Herald Sun in Australia, the Philadelphia Eagles were expected to face off against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia in 2026. However, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie has made it clear that he does not want to sacrifice another home game, after the team already played a "home" game in Brazil during the 2024 season. While Lurie is open to the idea of playing in Australia as the away team, it seems unlikely that the Eagles will give up another home game for this opportunity.

C Cam Jurgens is on the mend

After missing the NFC Championship Game due to a back injury, Jurgens is feeling much better now and is expected to play in the Super Bowl. He stepped in for an injured Landon Dickerson and performed well, and is eager to continue contributing to the team's success. While Dickerson did not comment on his status, the Eagles did not list him as questionable or doubtful on their Super Bowl injury report, indicating that he will also be ready to go.

LB Ben VanSumeren will be back in action in 2025

VanSumeren, a core special teams player and linebacker, sustained a lower-body injury during practice and was placed on IR. However, he is confident that he will be fully recovered and ready to play in the 2025 season. While he did not provide specific details on his injury, he reassured that it will not affect his availability for the upcoming season.

RB Kenny Gainwell still in concussion protocol

After suffering a concussion in the NFC Championship Game, Gainwell is still in the concussion protocol and was unable to speak with reporters at the media event. However, his presence at the event suggests that he has made some progress, and he is likely to play in the Super Bowl. If he is unable to play, rookie Will Shipley will step in as the RB2.

Jeffrey Lurie addresses rumors of buying the Boston Celtics

Last week, there were rumors that Lurie was interested in purchasing the Boston Celtics. However, the Eagles owner quickly shut down these speculations, stating that his focus is solely on the Eagles and bringing another Super Bowl title to Philadelphia. He also praised the Celtics' ownership and their success in the NBA.

Kellen Moore hints at being the Saints' next head coach

During the media event, Kellen Moore, the current offensive coordinator for the Eagles, mostly avoided questions about his potential move to the New Orleans Saints as their head coach in 2025. However, he did drop a hint that the deal may already be in the works. We can expect to see some potential offensive coordinator candidates for the Eagles in the near future... Most likely Kevin Patullo.
