Eagles Place Rookie DT on IR With Designated to Return to Treat PTSD After Heartbreaking Loss of Girlfriend
Philadelphia, PA – August 28, 2025 – The Philadelphia Eagles’ cutdown week ended with a move that left both fans and teammates stunned. Instead of being defined by roster math, it was defined by human tragedy.
Earlier this month, the death of Lina Bina, a 24-year-old content creator known widely online, sent shockwaves through Philadelphia’s locker room. Her passing, linked to complications from surgery, was described by coaches as “a devastating blow.”
Inside the NovaCare Complex, players and staff quickly recognized that one rookie was carrying a pain no playbook or practice could prepare him for. That grief has now shaped the team’s most difficult decision.
That rookie is Gabe Hall, an undrafted defensive tackle out of Baylor, who fought his way into training camp after years of setbacks. He will begin the season on Injured Reserve with a designation to return.
Hall, just 23 years old, had spent August trying to balance football dreams with unbearable heartbreak. His partner, who supported his entire college journey, passed away before she could watch his NFL debut. The loss triggered PTSD symptoms.
Rather than push him forward, the Eagles chose compassion. Head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters the roster is about “family first,” echoing a message that Hall’s recovery — both mental and emotional — takes precedence over football snaps.

The move does impact depth, as Philadelphia had eyed Hall as a developmental piece on the defensive line. But teammates stressed his value off the field, calling him “a fighter who deserves time to heal.”
When he does return, Eagles fans will see more than a rookie defensive tackle. They’ll see a young man who carried grief with courage, reminding the NFL that behind every helmet lies a human story.
Troy Aikman Mocks Chiefs: “Even With the Refs, They Still Lost” — Kansas City’s Dynasty Aura Has Completely Vanished
Denver, CO. The fallout from the Kansas City Chiefs’ shocking 22–19 loss to the Denver Broncos is growing louder by the hour. And this time, Hall of Famer Troy Aikman is the one turning up the heat.
During the national broadcast recap, Aikman didn’t hold back. He openly mocked Kansas City’s collapse, pointing directly at several controversial officiating decisions — calls that, in his words, “clearly tried to keep the Chiefs alive but couldn’t save them.”
Aikman didn’t mince words:
“Kansas City had the referees and still lost. If anyone needed proof their aura is gone, tonight is the perfect example.”
The remark exploded across social media, especially because it challenged a long-standing belief that the Chiefs usually benefit from 50/50 calls. But according to Aikman, Sunday night showed the opposite: even with the officiating leaning their way, Kansas City crumbled in a way that couldn’t be rescued.
Aikman highlighted several “failed assists” from the officiating crew:
-
A questionable illegal contact call that extended a Chiefs drive.
-
A blatant missed holding call on Broncos edge rusher Nik Bonitto.
-
Two soft, momentum-swinging pass-interference flags on Riley Moss that arrived at the exact moments KC needed life.
-
And a sequence of whistles that analysts said “couldn’t have been more favorable to Kansas City.”
But none of it mattered.
Denver dominated every critical moment. Patrick Mahomes — once untouchable within the AFC West — looked rattled, forced into checkdowns instead of big plays, unable to flip the game despite every opportunity.
Aikman delivered the knockout line that left Chiefs fans stunned:
“When you need the refs to save you — and even they can’t — you’re not a dynasty anymore.”
Meanwhile, the Broncos played with confidence, discipline and toughness, extending their winning streak to eight and tightening their grip atop the AFC West.
Kansas City, now 5–5 and on a two-game skid, faces a harsh reality: the aura that once surrounded Mahomes and Andy Reid is fading fast.
A Night That Redefined the AFC West
If Week 11 sent a message to the rest of the NFL, it was crystal clear:
No one fears Kansas City anymore. The dynasty aura is gone — and even favorable whistles can’t hide what this team has become.
