Eagles Place Two More Players on IR – Safety Suffers Car Accident En Route to Practice

The Philadelphia Eagles announced two critical roster moves ahead of Week 10, placing both outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari and another defensive starter on Injured Reserve. The news came Friday afternoon as the team worked through medical evaluations and finalized roster adjustments during the bye week.

The first and more expected move involves outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari, who re-aggravated a hamstring injury suffered in Week 7 against the Vikings. The setback will sideline him for several weeks as he continues his recovery. The loss further thins out Philadelphia's edge rotation, although Brandon Graham is expected to take on an increased role and Nolan Smith is nearing a return from his own injury.

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is planning to rely on rookie Jihaad Campbell in certain sub-packages, while Jalyx HuntPatrick Johnson, and Joshua Uche are expected to see more snaps off the edge. With the trade deadline approaching, the Eagles front office has reportedly been exploring options to bolster the defensive front.

Later that same morning, another unexpected incident struck the team. A veteran safety was involved in a car accident near the NovaCare Complex while driving to the team's facility for a scheduled session. The player was immediately transported to a local Philadelphia hospital with a leg injury, forcing the team to make a difficult roster decision.

 

That player was confirmed to be Marcus Epps. The veteran safety remains under medical observation and is expected to undergo additional tests in the coming days. While his injuries are not life-threatening, the team has officially placed him on Injured Reserve as a precautionary measure.

Head coach Nick Sirianni expressed deep concern when speaking to reporters later in the day:

"Marcus is one of the hardest workers we have. This morning really shook everyone up. The only thing that matters right now is his safety and recovery. Football can wait—his health can't."

Both Epps and Ojulari are expected to miss at least the next four games, though their return timelines will depend on further evaluations. Despite the adversity, the Eagles remain optimistic that the team's defensive depth and next-man-up mentality will keep them competitive heading into the second half of the season.

Bills Cheerleader Sues Bills Player for Sexual Harassment After He Relentlessly Flirted With Her – Despite Being Married with a Child
BUFFALO, NY – December 11, 2025 A bombshell lawsuit has just been filed in Erie County Court that has all of Western New York talking. Ashley, the 24-year-old face of the Buffalo Jills and widely regarded as the squad’s most popular and recognizable cheerleader, has officially sued a current Buffalo Bills player for what her legal team calls “persistent and unwanted sexual harassment through aggressive flirting” – even though the player is married with a young child. Court documents obtained today name 27-year-old Shane Buechele – the Bills’ third-string QB who married his high-school sweetheart Reiley in 2022 and has a 2-year-old son – as the defendant. What the lawsuit alleges: Since the start of the 2025 season, Buechele allegedly began sending Ashley private Instagram messages after every home game, complimenting her looks and performances with increasingly suggestive language. Multiple late-night phone calls (some as late as 2-3 a.m.) in which Buechele allegedly complained about his lack of playing time, “just wanted to hear her voice,” and invited her for private coffee meet-ups. Unsolicited shirtless and suggestive photos sent directly to Ashley’s phone. Repeatedly showing up “by coincidence” at community and charity events Ashley was scheduled to attend, creating unwanted one-on-one encounters. In the filing, Ashley states: “I made it crystal clear on multiple occasions that I only wanted a professional relationship and was focused on my career. He completely ignored my boundaries. The middle-of-the-night calls left me terrified and suffering from severe insomnia. This has taken a serious toll on my mental health.” Immediate fallout: The Buffalo Bills have suspended Shane Buechele indefinitely without pay pending an internal investigation. Reiley Buechele has locked all of her social media accounts and has made no public statement. Ashley’s attorney says they will seek damages “well into seven figures” and hope the case sets a precedent for better protection of NFL cheerleaders league-wide. The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and may impose additional discipline. One Bills Mafia is completely split: #TeamAshley supporters are demanding Buechele be cut immediately: “Married with a kid and still doing this? Disgusting.” Others are calling it an overreaction: “Flirty DMs and compliments? This feels like a money grab or a PR stunt.” The case is still in its earliest stages, with an initial court appearance expected in early 2026.
