Chris Kuper begins tenure as Philadelphia Eagles offensive line coach
Summary

Chris Kuper takes over as the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line coach, filling the role vacated by Jeff Stoutland earlier this year. Stoutland served for 13 years, contributing to two Super Bowl championships before stepping down on Feb. 4. Kuper faces scrutiny following a 2025 season where the offensive line unit struggled and finished 18th in rushing. Despite concerns regarding the transition, players like Jordan Mailata report that Kuper brings a refreshing approach to hand technique and aggression. The new coach will make his debut in the Week 1 game against the Washington Commanders. Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, who previously worked with Kuper, selected him to lead the group this season.
