Mekhi Becton projected to start for Philadelphia Eagles in 2024 on one condition
For the most part, the Philadelphia Eagles have their starting five on the offensive line figured out, but that doesn't mean a new face can't emerge during NFL training camp. According to NFL Network's offensive line expert Brian Baldinger, Mekhi Becton could be that face on one condition: he stays healthy. “Mekhi Becton (the 11th overall pick in the 2020 draft by the New York Jets) had some knee issues in the past, but he has more power than anyone on the whole team,” Baldinger said, via Bleeding Green Nation. “He is the best run blocker that the Eagles have. If he is healthy, he will play right guard for them. They are working him in there. I would keep an eye on Mekhi. He is on their depth chart backing up Mailata right now at left tackle. He is a big guy. I think Becton has a shot at being right guard. Right now, Tyler Steen probably has the advantage there because he knows the Eagles’ system.

Phillies Trade Candidates Narrowing as Deadline Approaches
A new report by USA Today’s Bob Nightengale details the Philadelphia Phillies’ narrowing options for trade candidates. This comes as the July 30 trade deadline is quickly approaching. It has been widely reported that the Phillies want a right-handed outfield bat to platoon with Brandon Marsh in left field. This is because Marsh struggles against left-handed pitching. In 49 at-bats against left-handed pitchers this season, he has a .378 OPS and a 10 wRC+. Some of the names mentioned by other reporters for this role were ruled out by Nightengale. While Matt Gelb of The Athletic has stated that team control is not a factor, someone on an expiring contract is likely to fill this role.
