No, he’s already practiced 

That applies to PUP, I believe, rather than NFI.

It’s both. PUP and NFI are basically the same with the difference being NFI in injuries sustained outside the facility/away from the team. 

Key difference is teams being able to withhold salary. At least that’s my understanding of it. I haven’t ever seen someone go on it after TC started.

If Araiza was as good as his reputation, he would have been the first punter picked last year and not the third. The way people talked him up, you’d have thought he was this generation’s Ray Guy. The knock on him the entire time was that he had a big leg but would line drive his punts. That’s what I saw when the curiosity hit me prior onto the draft to check him out, and that was reportedly what he showed in Buffalo. I’m not saying he wouldn’t be an upgrade (he very well may be) but I find it annoying how he’s been anointed as some super punting prospect when he really hasn’t demonstrated that.

That's not necessarily true. Teams aren't always right. You could use that logic about any player who drops in a draft. Can say that about Justin Jefferson. With the legal issues he hasn't had the chance to prove or disprove that. But he certainly brings more to the table than Siposs. Siposs isn't good at anything. Directional punting, ball placement, or leg. He just sucks. He's probably the worst punter in the NFL.

He simply doesn't have the capabilities of doing this:

And not knowing anything else, I'll take a leg with this kind of talent over anything we know Siposs has, because it isn't much. At the very least, he'll boom them. And that doesn't mean he can't punt well in other respects.

I mean....he also could use some coaching at the NFL level since his rookie year didn't last long. 

@e-a-g-l-e-s eagles!  This game turned quickly.    Go hils!!!

Trea Turner with 2 HRs in the same inning!   .  Philadelphia fans need to start giving out more standing ovations!!!

What are they saying about achane?

Sure and 10 more pounds couldn't hurt.

Even if he could put on the weight, it can slow him down.

Go run some sprints with and without a 10 pound vest and tell me if it hurt your speed.

gotta love when Siri is trying to get a practice in, and this guy pops up with his little whistle and interrupts everything for a little competition.

Watch these guys golf at the end. Covey displays his versatile freakbeastitility.

Mailata makes the golf club look like a toothpick and crushes the ball. lol.

Word is Jalen Hurts has given up football because he is too driven to improve his golf game now.

When I played football I weighed 135 pounds, after football I went up to 155 and was faster at 155 than 135.

Many sprinters will bulk up with added muscle to get faster not slower 

If he put on 10 pounds of fat then that'll definitely slow him down, ten pounds of muscle doesn't normally though.

Players say bigger faster stronger all the time 

They don't say fatter faster stronger.

He should be fine with 10 added pounds of muscle assuming he could put that on 

As you mentioned before the question is whether he has the frame to Put on 10 pounds of muscle, which is a legit question.

I believe King has a reputation as a poor holder, which is probably why he’s been out of the league for a while now. That’s something I picked up along the way (for some reason I watch punting videos way more than I probably should).

King is also a borderline sociopath who loves himself so much he has to get 15 yard penalties celebrating after punting.

He had 3 unsportsmanlike penalties in a 9 game span... as a punter.

He earned his exit from the NFL.

That’s awesome.  Of course he punted for the Raiders.

I heard that he also called his own punt fakes but I don't have the research to back that up.

That shot by Davis was pretty impressive, one arm wind up nailed it.

Punting is punting. He's only 34. No idea why he left the league but he's played in the start up leagues and still looks good.

Didn't realize all of that. Ugh.

Sure. Punting is punting. That’s why when a guy who was last actually on a team the same year the Eagles won a SB should be a huge red flag. 

Do we think the starters play at all on Thursday? Even if it's one drive, I'd love to see Jalen Hurts get some playing time before week 1. Even if it's just to knock off a little rust.

Not a chance in the world. Last season they played 1 series in the first game. Jalen got hit late out of bounds. I don't even know if Mariota will play and he needs the work.

I don't want to question Sirianni on his approach due to the success they had last year but at the same time, I see Patrick Mahomes out there playing with the starters and they are defending champs. Clearly, injuries are going to happen even if the Eagles have the lightest offseason workout schedule and pre-season game approach ever. I'd just would have really liked to see the starters get some PT. I know they claim joint practices are just as valuable but I also think a real live game is totally different. Opening against the Patriots isn't going to be an easy task.

Surprisingly good information from ESP here, all posted below the tweet if you don't want to be redirected.

Random #Eagles Running Back thoughts:

*** Kenny Gainwell has 31 carries with the 1st-team offense in training camp. Nobody else has more than 14.

** I think Eagles top 3 running backs are, in some order, Gainwell, Swift and Boston Scott. They are the only three with 10+ 1st-team carries in training cap. Also only three that have rested in a preseason game.

** Gainwell (18) and Swift (16) are leading the RB in catches at practice. None of the other RBs have more than 8 (Sermon). They are clearly the 3rd down RBs.

** I think Penny and Sermon are battling for the 4th RB spot. Their usage is exactly the same in practices. Both dressed and played in both preseason games.

** If they are battling, it is very noteworthy that one is playing special teams, the other is not: Penny -- 0 Sermon -- 17
