Retired NFL safety Malcolm Jenkins shuts down speculation that he could make a return to the field for the Eagles this season in the aftermath of C.J. Gardner-Johnson's kidney injury.
Malcolm Jenkins had a profound impact on Philadelphia both on and off the field during his six years with the Eagles. His community activism in the city may have even outweighed his contributions to the Super Bowl-winning team in 2017. Therefore, it would only make sense for the recently-retired safety to return to Philly and continue his advocacy work at a pivotal moment in the city's history.
After reports of his departure first surfaced earlier Tuesday, Sean Payton officially announced he is stepping down as head coach of the New Orleans Saints during an afternoon press conference where he thanked the team and its fanbase.
Duce Staley might be one of the Eagles’ most likely options to replace Doug Pederson

Duce Staley has been a member of the Philadelphia Eagles’ coaching staff since 2010. 11 years later, he might finally be in serious position to become the team’s head coach.
On Monday, Jeffrey Lurie said that he expects the Eagles’ assistant head coach/running backs coach to be in the running to replace Doug Pederson.
Q. It’s been awhile since you’ve had a minority in the head coaching position or a coordinator position. How will that factor into your search, and also, will you consider anybody currently on the staff for the position?
