Eagles Rookie OT Shocked: Lands on Reserve/Injured, Learns of Girlfriend’s Tragic Death the Same Day

It was supposed to be just another roster update for the Eagles, but the timing turned into something far more devastating. On the same day the team announced a rookie offensive lineman was being placed on Reserve/Injured, he was also confronted with heartbreaking personal news that shattered his world.

The NFL can be unforgiving, stripping away chances before they even begin. For a young player fighting to earn his place, the setback of an early-season injury already felt crushing. But what happened off the field that night made football seem like the smallest part of his reality.

At first, the word he received was that his longtime girlfriend, adult film actress Kylie Page, had passed away from cardiac arrest. It was already unbearable news, the kind that stops everything else in its tracks. For him, it was the kind of pain that no training camp injury could ever compare to.

But a month later, investigators revealed a more devastating truth: Kylie had died from a drug overdose. For the rookie, the shock wasn’t only in losing her, but in discovering the reason. She had promised him she had been clean for over a year, and he had believed in her fight every step of the way.

The news spread quickly, drawing shock and sadness across social media. For teammates inside the Eagles’ locker room, it meant rallying around their rookie brother, offering the kind of support that stretches far beyond X’s and O’s. This was about life, love, and loss colliding in the harshest way possible.

While the injury designation was difficult enough, the real pain came from receiving that call no one ever wants to hear. One moment he was thinking about rehab and the grind back to the field, the next he was mourning someone who had been a cornerstone of his personal life.

That rookie is Myles Hinton, a promising offensive tackle the Eagles were excited to develop. Now, Hinton faces an unimaginable dual challenge: recovering from injury while carrying the grief of losing someone he loved deeply, all at the very start of his professional journey.

Hinton shared in a brief statement: “I thought the hardest thing I’d face this week was being sidelined. Then I was told Kylie was gone. At first they said it was her heart… but now I know the truth. She promised me she was clean. My world just collapsed.”

For the Eagles, it’s a reminder of the human side of the game. For Hinton, it’s a battle no playbook can prepare him for—one where healing will take more than just time.
