Andy Reid Speaks to the Media | NOVEMBER 10, 2025

Good. All right. So, um the coaches are just coming back today from uh from a few days off and um uh we’re getting back in the swing of things right now. Uh players aren’t back till tomorrow. So, don’t have a lot of information for you there. Um we’re expecting everybody back and uh Josh included. So, if you’re going that direction, that’s the information I have for you. Um, and then we’ll uh, you know, we’ll I presume they’ve they’ve got some workouts in and and uh they’re off time and we’ll come back ready ready to go. So, with that, time’s yours. We’ll go first to Pete Sweeney. Go ahead, Pete. Yeah, coach, you kind of alluded to it with Josh. Um, what’s the reintegration plan with him? you sense that he’ll be able to just get right back to the start? I think Pete, what we’ll do is just see where we’re at here and you know, we know we’ve got a good player in there now and um we know what Josh is capable of and all that. So, we’ll just see where where we’re at when u you know when they get back. We’ll go next to Jesse New. Jesse, hey Kelsey, I have a followup too. Um, hey Andy. I wanted a couple just quick injury updates on guys. Um, Isaiah, I do expect him back in practice this week and then Jawan Taylor left the game against the Bills. What do you anticipate with him? Yeah, well, I’ll have to see Jake and um, Taylor was uh, feeling pretty good when he by the time he got back here and and had left. So, um, I think we’ll probably be okay there. Okay. And a quick followup from the Buffalo game. Um, when Pacheco was out, you guys elevated Clyde uh and left Elijah Mitchell on the inactives. Can you just go over the decision there to bring Clyde up for that game? Yeah, so we really like Elijah. Obviously, he wouldn’t be here. But I think that makes a big statement there, but Clyde is uh, you know, he knows all the protections. He knows all that. Not only does he know it, he’s done it. And so we’ve seen him do it. So there’s a comfort. There was a comfort there. Not that Elijah doesn’t. He He’s He’s very sharp kid. So, but we just, you know, we’ve seen, you know, our guy do it. So, that’s that’s that was the only reason why. But, we’ll go next to Matt Derek. Go ahead, Matt. Uh, coach, with Josh, how do you feel like the the team has handled it, the coaches and the players alike as far as Josh’s departure and now his return? Sure, Matt. Um, players always are concerned about other players uh well-being. That’s first of all. So, uh, but on the other hand, they also move forward and they don’t necessarily look back. So they they they giddy up and go on on what’s there today and let’s let’s go and they go 100 miles an hour with that. Uh but I would so I think it’s a blend, you know, of things. They don’t they’re not dwelling on that, but they want to make sure he’s okay as a as a human being. And kind of coupled with that a little bit is, you know, what’s the what was the kind of the process for Josh coming back last week? Was there anything, you know, maybe differently that you you did or the team did, players and coaches to kind of get him back into the building and welcome him back? Uh, not necessarily. No. Yeah. We’ll go next to Sam McDow. Sam, hey Andy. Um just just along those lines, like did uh did he get some workouts in last week? Like are you able to tell already what kind of football shape he’s in already? Yeah, Sam, I’m not going to No, I’m I’m not going to get into all that. Um I’m not telling you yes or no that he did, but he uh he I know he’s been working out for sure. Just wondered, you know, Jaylen’s played a few games now and um just wondered if you could just assess what he’s done at left tackle for you. Yeah, Sam. Jaylen’s uh he’s done a nice job uh for us. Um I I think just asking him to jump in after the season’s been going for a couple months here is a that’s a tough ask. Uh especially against the Dines we’re playing, but he he’s done uh done a respectable job. We’ll go to Seren Petro next. Serin, I got a a couple of follow-ups as well. Uh coach, let’s just start first of all with like the playoff picture. You know, you had a number of things that maybe could have helped you guys out this past weekend. Looked like it was maybe going to help you out. Didn’t go that way. So, you know, is there a sense of urgency about how far you are down the standings right now? And do you sense that amongst uh you know, the entire organization, the players and everybody, how urgent the situation is playoff wise? Uh yeah, certain. I mean, you know, in this in this league, I mean, every game’s important and so you’ve got to stay focused on that and um it doesn’t matter what you project or what’s happened before you learn from your past and take care of what’s going on today. Um, we’ll get the players back tomorrow and then we’re all in uh on Denver. So, that’s that’s kind of where we’re at. Uh, is there an urgency there? There should be an urgency every week. I I that’s how this league is. There’s too much parody in this league not to not to have urgency every week. You guys have played a lot of games, right? Have had a lot of success. I mean, you know, you this is new for you, right? Being a three-time champion, right? So like is that is you notice that you know some of the guys that have been around and had a lot of success that sometimes maybe they need a little bit more you know urging you know or or you know like that the tank’s just on empty because of all that you guys have accomplished. Yeah. I don’t that’s not how I feel. Um I I feel like the guys have got good energy and they’re we just need to clean a a couple things up and we’ll we’ll be we’ll be okay there. Okay. I know you’ve said a number of times there’s only one football, uh, right? So, like, you know, not everybody can have a a giant day, but is it safe to say that you’d like to get Xavier Worthy a little bit more involved and that that that would be something that could help you guys out as far as offensively if he he could be more part of the equation? Well, we try to get them all involved the best the best we can. Sometime some games you’re just going to have that where, you know, they’re they’re taking somebody away and that’s that’s how it goes. you know, that’s happened. How’s the coverage goes, that’s how the play call goes, so on. Um, you know, so, but we’re not down on Xavier Worthy. We we uh we know he’s he’s a good player and we like to get the ball in the good players hands, you know, the best best way we can. Um, so it just hasn’t rolled that way. It looks like Seren has one more for you and then we’ll go last to Jesse. Yeah. Sorry. Uh, last one would just be Chris Jones. I mean, uh, does does he need to, you know, find another level for you guys to be successful in the second half? Uh, I think, you know, we all need to do better. Um, I I would say that, uh, Chris is always striving to do better every day. I mean, that’s what’s made him such a good player. Um, again, he’s he’s the guy that they’re going to focus on. And if you’re getting a double team, that’s who who’s getting doubled. And so that’s uh he’s just he’ll get his as we as we go forward. It’s just important that he stays consistent and keeps working hard. Go ahead, Jesse. Yeah, Andy. Um, obviously the by-week is a big week for self scout for you guys. I just wondered what the biggest takeaways were when you were re-watching yourself on tape. Yeah, I can’t give you all that, Jesse, but uh I I would tell you that we did go back and look um at some of the things we can do better or some of the things we’ve done well. Um you know, we had a lot of good things coming up to this past week and then there were some things there that we can definitely learn from this uh the last game against the Bills. So, um, but, uh, again, that’s, you know, that’s why we we spend the time working on that stuff, but I’m not going to put it out there for sure. Good question, though. Thank you, coach. That’s all we have for you. All right.
