Philadelphia, PA — October 17, 2025.
The Philadelphia Eagles have suspended rookie linebacker Malik Grant indefinitely after he reportedly went off the radar for several hours following his omission from Sunday’s active roster.
“In Philadelphia, we don’t demand loyalty — we live it,” Sirianni said after the game. “If you come here chasing fame instead of fight, you’re not ready to wear midnight green. This jersey is earned through grit, brotherhood, and heart — every single snap.”
Head Coach Nick Sirianni confirmed the disciplinary action during Monday’s presser, emphasizing the importance of professionalism and accountability. Sources say Grant failed to report to the team facility after learning he wouldn’t suit up against the Minnesota Vikings, prompting a citywide search by team staff.
“No matter how talented you are, you don’t disappear on your brothers,” Sirianni said. “In Philly, we face adversity — we don’t run from it.”
Grant was later located and returned to the facility, expressing remorse for his actions. Still, the Eagles have made it clear: discipline comes before potential.
💚 In Philadelphia, commitment defines the player — not the stat line.
