(CNN) - USWNT star Carli Lloyd is "seriously considering" kicking in the NFL after nailing a 55-year field goal at a Philadelphia Eagles practice last week. Lloyd was offered the chance to participate with two different teams in NFL preseason games this week, her coach James Galanis told CNN. "She declined because she is playing with the USA women's national team on Thursday but is seriously considering a future in the NFL," he said. Lloyd took many by surprise when she stopped by a Philadelphia Eagles practice on August 20 and hit field goals from 40 and 55 yards.
