Eagles training camp practice notes, Day 16: Josh McCown's first day on the job

by Jimmy Kempski

Philadelphia Eagles training camp is technically over, but we (the media) were allowed in one last time for a full Eagles-only practice, before the team conducts joint practices with the Baltimore Ravens on Monday and Tuesday.

Open thread recap: Eagles 24, Jaguars 10

by Jimmy Kempski

Philadelphia Eagles football is on to Week 2 of the preseason, and the Birds will face Nick Foles and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Well, sort of. Foles likely won't play, and Carson Wentz probably won't either. Still, we'll all watch, because that's what we do.

The Philadelphia Eagles may head into the 2019 regular season with their healthy starting quarterback, Carson Wentz, potentially not taking a single snap in the preseason.
