The overworked detectives were closing in on a possible murder suspect in the death of an immigrant Uber driver.

There are plenty who might argue that trading up and using the 13th overall pick for a run-stuffing nose tackle isn’t a wise way to allocate resources. But the Eagles think Jordan Davis is much more than that.

Two men have been killed in Philadelphia after trying to force their way into a home – with one of the individuals being shot more than a dozen times, reports have said.
