The Miami GP long runs: Mercedes leads, challengers on the rise
Mercedes drivers excel in Miami GP long runs, with Kimi Antonelli leading narrowly.

Elijah Mitchell and Khalil Herbert are trying out for the Philadelphia Eagles during rookie minicamp. Both veteran running backs aim to secure a roster spot as the team seeks depth at the position.
The Philadelphia Eagles are taking a closer look at veteran running back depth, hosting Elijah Mitchell and Khalil Herbert for tryouts during the rookie minicamp on Friday and Saturday.
Mitchell is trying out in Philadelphia after a series of recent transactions. The New England Patriots released the 27-year-old back after he signed a futures deal in February. Originally a sixth-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in 2021, Mitchell showed early promise, rushing for over 1,500 yards and nine touchdowns across 28 career games. He also had brief stints with the Kansas City Chiefs and New England during the 2025 season.
Herbert, meanwhile, brings his own NFL experience after entering the league as a sixth-round pick of the Chicago Bears in 2021. A productive college player at both Kansas and Virginia Tech, Herbert has since spent time with multiple teams, including practice squad roles with the Indianapolis Colts, Seattle Seahawks, and New York Jets during the 2025 season.
For both backs, the minicamp tryout is a valuable opportunity to showcase their skills to Eagles coaches. Philadelphia has consistently emphasized competition at the running back position, and adding experienced options could provide valuable depth heading into training camp. With very few roster spots still up for grabs, Mitchell and Herbert will look to make strong impressions over the weekend as they attempt to extend their NFL careers in one of the league's most competitive environments.
Elijah Mitchell previously played for the San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs, and New England Patriots.
Khalil Herbert entered the NFL as a sixth-round pick of the Chicago Bears in 2021 and has also spent time with the Indianapolis Colts, Seattle Seahawks, and New York Jets.
The Eagles are hosting tryouts to evaluate veteran running back depth and enhance competition at the position ahead of training camp.
