Philadelphia Eagles Preseason Opener
The Philadelphia Eagles, the reigning Super Bowl Champions, are set to begin their NFL preseason at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. Head coach Nick Sirianni remains tight-lipped about whether the starting lineup will take the field on Thursday night, highlighting the impact of recent practices on player workloads.
Excitement Around New Talents
Even if star quarterback Jalen Hurts and others don’t participate, there are still several points of interest for fans. Tanner McKee is anticipated to shine as the backup quarterback, and audiences can expect to see the depth of talent among the wide receivers supporting A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
On the defensive side, the roster features many young players eager to showcase their skills, particularly in tackling techniques. Given that training camp limits full tackling, these preseason games are crucial for player evaluation.
