The Philadelphia Eagles have secured a new wide receiver, Cam Sims, just ahead of their Week 13 game versus the San Francisco 49ers. The Eagles signed Sims, previously with the Washington Commanders, a player towering at 6-foot-5 and weighing 214 pounds.
Sims’ agency, Elite Loyalty Sports, announced his signing with the Eagles on November 30, expressing congratulations and good wishes for this fresh phase in his career, using the hashtag #FlyEaglesFly.
During the 2022 season, Sims participated in all 17 games for the Commanders, making 8 receptions totaling 89 yards. His standout performance occurred in 2020, where he showcased his skills with 32 receptions, 477 yards, and a touchdown in 16 games, featuring 10 starts.
Sims had brief spells with the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Giants most recently. He joined the Raiders in the offseason but was released as the team finalized their 53-man roster. Subsequently, he secured a practice squad deal with the Giants in September but was let go by New York slightly over a month later.
49ers vs. Eagles: Philly Is a 3-Point Underdog Against San Francisco
Once again, the Philadelphia Eagles are at the forefront of NFL discussions leading into Week 13 as they gear up for a rematch of the NFC Championship against the 49ers. Despite their impressive 10-1 record, the Eagles are considered three-point underdogs as they prepare to host the Niners.
Philadelphia’s series of close victories in recent games seems to have influenced perceptions among both fans and Vegas sportsbooks. According to Heavy Sports computer projections powered by Quarter 4, the 49ers are anticipated to be ahead by 2.5 points. These projections suggest that Philadelphia has a 42% chance of causing an upset. Star quarterback Jalen Hurts is striving for more from himself and the Eagles’ offensive unit.
Speaking to reporters on November 26, Hurts acknowledged, “Clearly, there’s a lot for us to improve upon. I personally have a lot of work to do. I haven’t reached the level of performance that I expect from myself, which seems to have been sufficient. However, when it comes to achieving the consistent standard that I aim for, and that I want our team to consistently achieve, just being ‘enough’ is never satisfying.”
