Sirianni ahead of Kickoff: 'I didn't know it was banner night, we won't be out for that'

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni commented ahead of the season kickoff game against the Dallas Cowboys, stating that he was unaware it was banner night and confirmed the team would not be present for that ceremony.

Several injury and participation updates were reported: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Hollywood Brown practiced after a preseason injury; Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris was a full participant as he recovers from an eye injury; and New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is expected to play in Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders, marking his first game since an ACL tear in October 2024.

Contract extensions were announced for Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren, who agreed to a two-year deal, and Dallas Cowboys defensive back DaRon Bland, whose extension was detailed by insiders.

Micah Parsons' trade from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers was a focal point: Packers coaches expect him to play Sunday, injury details were analyzed, and Parsons himself addressed the media for the first time as a Packer. Additionally, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones remarked that he could have signed Parsons in April.

Coaching perspectives were shared by Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell on Lambeau Field and Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer on expectations for the kickoff game. Eagles tackle Jordan Mailata also discussed facing the Cowboys without Parsons.

Fantasy football analysis noted that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs are undervalued in drafts.
