This week's coverage centred on the Eagles-Patriots preseason game and Philadelphia's backup quarterback competition, but Cole Payton went unmentioned across all of it. Bleeding Green Nation carried an argument that Tanner McKee has to be the backup because Andy Dalton just isn't very good, while Yahoo Sports NFL reported the competition remains ongoing despite McKee outplaying Dalton, and Pro Football Rumors wrote that the Eagles remain undecided on the job. The game recaps from Pats Pulpit and Yahoo Sports NFL focused on a Nick DeGennaro game-winning touchdown in New England's 24-21 win, with Bleeding Green Nation's snap-count piece highlighting Joshua Weru's first NFL sack. None of the week's reporting touched on Payton's status, role, health, or any transaction involving him.
