Roseman’s forehead took the brunt of an errant throw of a beer can during the team’s Super Bowl parade in Philadelphia on Friday. The result was a semicircular gash just below his hairline.
Though there’s no footage of the incident, photos of Roseman’s flesh wound quickly circulated on social media, and Eagles edge rusher Josh Sweat told NBC Philadelphia that he saw the accident happen.
‘I laughed at him a little bit when it happened,’ Sweat said. ‘And I know he’s mad at me. … When I saw it, I knew what happened, and I couldn’t contain my laugh. … I did not throw the can at him. But hey, that’s part of it! The [fans are] throwing full cans and bottles.’

Roseman appears to be taking his battle wound in stride. He began his speech outside of the Philadelphia Museum of Art declaring, ‘I bleed for this city! Go Eagles!’
Roseman has been in charge of Philadelphia’s personnel decisions since 2010 and built the rosters of each of the two Eagles teams in franchise history that won the Super Bowl.
Most recently, the Eagles defeated the Chiefs, 40-22, in Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans.
