Eagles Work Out Former Vikings Superstar — a SB Champion With 2-time All-Pro & 5x Pro Bowler

Philadelphia, PA — September 2025 — One hamstring injury. One gut punch. For the Eagles, Joey Porter Jr.’s setback isn’t just a medical note — it’s a crack in the foundation of a young, swagger-filled defense. And into that silence, a name echoes: Stephon Gilmore.

Porter Jr., heir to the Porter legacy, left the field with a limp and frustration in his eyes. Officially, he’s “day-to-day.” Inside the locker room, everyone knows the truth: hamstrings don’t heal on schedules.

“You can’t rush this,” one defensive assistant admitted. “And we can’t keep throwing our young corners out there without help.”

At 34, Gilmore carries a résumé fit for Canton: Super Bowl champion. Five-time Pro Bowler. Defensive Player of the Year.

Once the league’s ultimate shadow corner, he still has the calm of a man who’s seen every route before it’s run. And he made it clear this offseason: he isn’t finished.

Asked about the idea of Philadelphia, Gilmore didn’t flinch:
“I’ve played in big moments. I’ve won rings. But what matters most now is finding a team that feels like family — and the Eagles? They’ve always been that kind of team.”

The Eagles thrive on toughness, leadership, and trust. Gilmore doesn’t need to be the 2019 Defensive Player of the Year again. He just needs to be steady, fearless, and the veteran voice this secondary craves.

For a locker room searching for stability, his presence would mean more than numbers. It would mean belief.

The front office hasn’t shown its hand. But the NFC East is ruthless, and Philadelphia knows one truth: they can’t afford to hesitate.

As one fan put it on X:
Eagles don’t rebuild. Eagles reload. Bring Gilmore to Philly.”

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
