Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts addressed the recent revelation of his iPhone lock screen wallpaper, which features a photo of him leaving the sideline after the Super Bowl LVII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Hurts expressed his desire to keep the lock screen and its significance private, stating that he would prefer if no one knew about it. Despite this, the picture seems to be motivating Hurts during training camp, as he is determined to continue improving and leading the team with a sense of urgency. Alongside Hurts, new Phillies starter Michael Lorenzen showcased an impressive performance in his debut, pitching a complete eight innings with just 101 pitches, leading the Phillies to a 4-2 victory. The win was crucial for the Phillies, whose offense struggled, and manager Rob Thomson had limited relief options due to a previous lengthy game. As for the National League wild card standings, the Phillies currently stand in a favorable position after winning three out of four games against the Marlins. In other news, Eagles lineman Josh Sills is currently on trial for rape and kidnapping allegations. Sills has denied the charges, asserting that the encounter was consensual. The trial is expected to conclude soon. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has openly discussed his habit of rewatching the Super Bowl loss, finding motivation in the painful reminder of the defeat. Additionally, Sirianni revealed that he watched the game via Netflix’s “Quarterback” series, which features interviews with various quarterbacks, including Patrick Mahomes, who emerged victorious in the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Eagles backup quarterback Marcus Mariota has not watched the show and does not enjoy watching himself. However, he appreciates the opportunity to shed light on the behind-the-scenes aspect of being an NFL quarterback. Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean left practice early but appears to be fine, according to reports. Lastly, Phillies President Dave Dombrowski believes Bryce Harper’s power will return soon based on his performance in batting practice.
