Jeremiah Washburn was ruled out from assisting as a coach after he tested positive for COVID-19 and that meant the entire defensive line coach staff were forced to quarantine as a protocol as well.
Glazer just reported that Eagles defensive line coach Matt Burke and asst defensive line coach Nate Ollie are at MetLife Stadium today and will be coaching in the game.
Barwin’s official title is special assistant to the general manager.
Under GM Howie Roseman, Barwin will aid the personnel staff in scouting talent. During the season, Barwin will focus on player development, specifically with rookies and undrafted players joining the Eagles roster.
