Darby has impressive debut, Eagles beat Bills 20-16
Of all the high-profile players making debuts in a new uniform, Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby was most impressive.
Tim McManus ESPN Staff Writer
Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby is putting on a show against his old team. Acquired from the Bills last week for receiver Jordan Matthews and a third-round pick, Darby intercepted Tyrod Taylor in the first quarter and weaved his way for a 48-yard return. He almost had another pick earlier in the quarter, too. A nice early return on the Eagles' investment.

Tim McManus ESPN Staff Writer
In an apparent sign of support for his anthem protest, Eagles defensive end Chris Long put his hand on the back of safety Malcolm Jenkins for the entire rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner" prior to Thursday's preseason game against the Buffalo Bills, then hugged him afterwards. A Charlottesville, Virginia native, Long has been outspoken about the recent events, calling the violent protestors' actions "despicable."
Tim McManus ESPN Staff Writer
The Eagles have a few notable inactives for Thursday's preseason game against the Bills: LT Jason Peters has been excused for personal reasons, which should help cement coach Doug Pederson's decision to limit QB Carson Wentz to a series or two. RB Wendell Smallwood (hamstring) and QB Nick Foles (elbow) will also sit out.
Mike Rodak ESPN Staff Writer
