Eagles Keep Kicking Game in Focus

0:00Here's more NFL news for March 22nd. The Philadelphia Eagles recently reworked Kicker Jake Elliott's contract, signaling they want him back for another season. But they're not shutting the door on competition, as the team brought in prospects for workouts to test the position. This comes amid concerns over Elliott's consistency. While he's nailed big postseason kicks in the past, his field goal percentage has dropped over the last two seasons, hitting a low point in 20. 25. Sports have grown frustrated with the misses, calling for more accountability at a spot that's crucial for contenders. Special teams issues can sneak up on even strong squads. During a recent tryout, prospect Murphy impressed by hitting from 70 yards and going 12 of 13 on field goals, showing real power and precision. The Eagles are just doing their homework here. It's a smart move to keep everyone sharp. Elliott could bounce back strong, or this might spark a bigger shift down the line. Either way, the kicking game stays under the spotlight.
