NFL: Chip Kelly aware of teams record

DETROIT -- The Philadelphia Eagles are on alert after their third consecutive loss, a 45-14 embarrassment at the hands of the Detroit Lions.

"It takes a collective effort to get your ass beat like this," Eagles center Jason Kelce said. "It really does. At this point, we're 4-7. We're going to find out what this locker room is made of.

"We're going to find out the guys who are all in and with each other, and we're going to find out who are the cowards. We're going to find out who the guys are that give anonymous (quotes), who the guys are who talk behind people's back. We're going to find out who the guys are who throw people under the bus."

In four days, the Eagles got outscored 90-31 by the Miami Dolphins and the Lions. They gave up 951 total yards. They allowed Jameis Winston and Matthew Stafford to throw 10 touchdown passes.

After games like that, it's fair to wonder if the players are still responding to the coaching staff.

"I'm a coach, not a player," Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. "It starts with me. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody and I don't think anybody points fingers at anybody (else). ... I think once you start pointing fingers and saying you blame it on somebody else, then you've lost what you have to.

Eagles left tackle Jason Peters missed the entire 2012 season with a torn Achilles tendon. He was on injured reserve as Andy Reid's team went 4-12, resulting in the coach's dismissal.

"It made me feel bad that he lost his job and I couldn't fight for him," Peters said. "I'm going to do everything I can to be out there and fight for the organization."

Kelly said that coordinator Bill Davis will remain in charge of the defense. He said he still has confidence in the roster he assembled in a tumultuous offseason of change.

"I have confidence in those players," Kelly said. "I've seen them play before. I have a lot of confidence in those guys. I think we have some really good guys. ... I told those guys in the locker room that I have confidence in

The Detroit PistonsBrandon Jennings took part in full-court practice Wednesday for the first time since rupturing his left Achilles tendon in January.

Jennings ran 10-minute, 4-on-4 drills and remains on track for a December return to game action, coach Stan Van Gundy told reporters. The timetable for the 26-year-old has more or less held firm to estimates, as he's been building back strength in his leg.

With the one-time lead guard on the shelf, Reggie Jackson has ensconced himself as the starting point, averaging 20.6 points and 5.6 assists this season. The pair have yet to play together as Jackson was acquired after Jennings went down last season.
