Philadelphia Eagles offensive line coach and run game coordinator Jeff Stoutland announced Wednesday that he will vacate his longtime role as new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion arrives.

“Philadelphia, I’ve decided my time coaching with the Eagles has come to an end,” Stoutland posted to X. “When I arrived here in 2013, I did not know what I was signing up for. I quickly learned what this city demands. But more importantly, what it gives back.

“The past 13 years have been the great privilege of my coaching career. I didn’t just work here, I became one of you. Stout out.”

Stoutland, 63, was exclusively a college coach before joining the Eagles’ staff in 2013 after serving as the offensive line coach at Alabama. Philadelphia went to the playoffs eight times during his run with the team and won two Super Bowls.

According to NFL Network, Stoutland will not completely sever ties with the organization, although no future role was specified.

Though the All-Star break approaches, the Detroit Pistons show no signs of slowing down.

The Pistons have won 12 of their last 15 games to maintain a healthy Eastern Conference lead over New York and Boston.

Detroit wraps up a four-game homestand with a back-to-back as it hosts the new-look Washington Wizards on Thursday and the Knicks on Friday.

The Wizards are acquiring 10-time All-Star forward Anthony Davis from the Dallas Mavericks in an eight-player trade, ESPN reported on Wednesday.

In addition to Davis, out since Jan. 8 with a hand injury, Washington gets Jaden Hardy, D’Angelo Russell and Dante Exum, per the report.

The Mavericks receive Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham and Marvin Bagley III plus two first-round draft picks and three second-round selections.

The Pistons followed up a 53-point victory over Brooklyn on Sunday — the largest margin in franchise history — with a 124-121 win over Denver on Tuesday. Though Detroit never trailed, the Nuggets rallied to make things interesting in the closing minutes.

“I feel like at the end of the game, it comes down to who wants it more, who’s going to get the loose balls, who’s going to be the most disciplined, who’s going to go back to their strategy and do it best,” Pistons forward Ausar Thompson said. “I feel like we did it best (Tuesday). They’re a great team, but you know we came up victorious.”

That has been the norm for Detroit, especially on its home court. The Pistons have a 20-5 record at Little Caesars Arena.

Coach J.B. Bickerstaff felt the Nuggets’ comeback was a good test for his club.

“Two really good teams competing at a high level,” he said. “Two teams that have elite players on their teams, that can make a difference, that can start runs, that can stop runs. Two teams that understand the selflessness, the physicality, the toughness that it takes to win at this level.”

The Pistons had a 26-9 edge in fast-break points, though they forced only 10 turnovers.

“Our entire team has bought into the identity that when we’re at our best, we’re the best defensive team on the floor,” Bickerstaff said.

The Wizards had won three of four before getting pounded by the Knicks, 132-101, on Tuesday.

“We didn’t play to our standard,” Wizards coach Brian Keefe said. “We’ve been playing good basketball here for a long time and we didn’t have the necessary execution on our defensive end. And offensively, too.

“We played one of the better teams in the NBA,” Keefe added. “If you don’t have your best stuff, that can happen. It’s not who we’ve been, it’s not who we’re going to be. We were not happy with our performance. We did not uphold to our standard.”

The Wizards had posted wins over Portland, Milwaukee and Sacramento after a nine-game losing streak.

“Got to give them some credit, but that’s the deal here in the NBA. You’ve got to raise up to what you’re going to see,” Keefe said. “We didn’t have our necessary level tonight. Excited to get back at that in Detroit.”

Washington gave Detroit a strong challenge in their first meeting on Nov. 10. The host Pistons eked out a 137-135 overtime victory at home.

Detroit’s Daniss Jenkins hit two 3-pointers in the final three seconds to force overtime. Cade Cunningham otherwise carried the Pistons with 46 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, five steals and two blocks.

Free-agent infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa is set to join his fifth team in four seasons after agreeing to a deal with the Boston Red Sox, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.

The deal is for one year, ESPN reported, with no financial terms revealed.

Kiner-Falefa, 30, batted .262 with two home runs and 40 RBIs in 138 games for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Toronto Blue Jays last season. He batted just .162 (6-for-37) in 15 postseason games for the Blue Jays, including .063 (1-for-16) in six World Series games.

The versatile Honolulu native played second base exclusively during Toronto’s postseason run, but he started 93 games at short, 30 at third and only one at second during the regular season.

Over eight major league seasons, he is a career .262 hitter with 36 home runs and 286 RBIs in 918 games. He played his first four seasons with the Texas Rangers after he was their fourth-round draft pick in 2013. Kiner-Falefa then moved on to the New York Yankees (2022-23) before flipping back and forth between the Pirates (2024-25) and Blue Jays (2024-25).
