Eagles announce 2024 Kelly Green game opponents
The Eagles announced on Friday which games the iconic Kelly Green uniforms will appear in the 2024 season.
The beloved uniforms will make their return in Week 9 (Nov. 3) on Sunday Night Football against the Jacksonville Jaguars and again in Week 17 (Dec. 29) against the NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys.
With the NFL approving a rule for teams to add a third alternate helmet this season, the choice to bring back the Kelly Greens for a second straight year was an easy one for the team after the tremendous support the uniforms received following its debut in 2023.
The Eagles went a perfect 2-0 while donning the early ’90s throwbacks last year, defeating the Miami Dolphins in Week 7 and the Buffalo Bills in an overtime thriller in Week 12.
The Sunday Night Football matchup against Jacksonville will mark the second time in a row the Eagles unveil the alternate look on primetime.
The Kelly Green jerseys will remain in collaboration with Nike, paying homage to the storied past of the franchise and remembering historic moments while invoking new memories among the fanbase. – Written by Liam Wichser
But veteran defensive coordinator Vic Fangio presumably had plenty of sway as the Eagles brought in free agents and White is here. So you’d have to expect that Fangio thinks he can help the 26-year-old live up to at least some of his potential in an Eagles uniform.
During his five-year career with the Buccaneers, White started 75 games and piled up 566 tackles, 64 quarterbacks hits, 23 sacks and 40 TFLs. He showed an ability to blitz as an off-ball linebacker and said this spring he’s looking forward to showing Fangio he can do that. He’d like to have those chances to get after quarterbacks in this defense.
“Hey, ‘last year wasn’t who you were.’ That’s never been Devin White, in and out on tape, just dealing with everything I dealt with. Now you can get an opportunity on an even bigger stage, it’s a bigger platform here. I think it’s a better all-around team built here. Right here, right now, to go do great things. I just want to be a part of that.
