Philip Hughes covers the NFC East for Sports Illustrated, with particular attention to the Washington Commanders. His beat runs from training camp observations through roster projections and divisional previews, tracking the small moves—bubble players, depth chart battles, workout signings—that shape a team before the season starts.
Across 53 graded calls in 4 articles, Philip Hughes scores 83.47% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 9.52, which means their calls were better than a naive guess on the same claims.
