Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley at the Eagles public practice at Lincoln Financial Field on Aug. 25, 2026.

Eagles OC Sean Mannion speaks with reporters on Aug. 24, 2026.

Aug 19, 2026; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; Philadelphia Eagles tight end Eli Stowers (87) makes a catch during training camp at Gillette Stadium.

Eagles WR Makai Lemon was a full participant at practice on Aug. 24, 2026.

The Eagles' offense felt whole for the first time since early August on Monday with Smith and Lemon on the field.

The Eagles waived king-sized wide receiver Johnny Wilson with an injury designation Friday, a move that is both pragmatic and perhaps quietly disruptive.

Aug 22, 2026; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks Tanner McKee (16) and Andy Dalton (14) run onto the field before the game against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.

If the preseason lies, the NFL's exhibition slate came up with a doozy in the Eagles' 24-21 setback to New England in Foxborough on Saturday night.

Aug 22, 2026; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; Philadelphia Eagles running back Carson Steele (34) leaps over New England Patriots safety Eric Butler (30) and scores a touchdown during the second half at Gillette Stadium.

Another preseason loss proved to be a step forward for the reshaped Philadelphia offense with Sean Mannion operating from the booth.

Jul 30, 2026; Philadelphia, PA, USA; Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio during training camp at Jefferson Health Training Complex.

In what might be a surprise unless you understand his background, Fangio highlighted the strength of his inside linebacker group while in Foxborough for joint practices with the New England Patriots.

Aug 19, 2026; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni walks to the practice field during training camp at Gillette Stadium.

The NFL is giving head coaches a new option to lighten their load on game days—especially those deep in the play-calling weeds.

Aug 19, 2026; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee (16) throws a pass during training camp at Gillette Stadium.

After two productive joint practices earlier in the week, there is still unfinished business for the Eagles in Foxborough in the form of Saturday's preseason game.

Before Thursday’s second joint practice between the Eagles and the New England Patriots, Sirianni discussed the ongoing process of integrating new offensive coaches.

Greenard’s potential return from a strained pec keeps getting pushed back, it’s understandable that concern is growing.

Jul 30, 2026; Philadelphia, PA, USA; Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Makai Lemon (9) looks on during training camp at Jefferson Health Training Complex.

The Philadelphia backups produced a forgettable 24-7 loss in the preseason opener, managing just six first downs and 159 total yards while going 0-for-9 on third down with seven three-and-outs.

One of the more valuable weeks of the summer for Nick Sirianni’s club will be overshadowed by the reunion with A.J. Brown.

With joint practices with the New England Patriots looming later this week, the Eagles went through a light hour-long practice session dominated by injury news.
