Eagles Preseason Schedule is Set

It’s a tradition unlike any other.

Forgive us for hijacking Jim Nantz’s Masters tagline but how else can you describe the Christmas morning-like feel of the local NFL preseason schedule reveal?

For the Eagles and the New York Jets than means locking down the annual Week 4 preseason affair which is scheduled at least for Sept. 3 at Lincoln Financial Field barring any cancelations or push backs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The preseason opener at Indianapolis against old friend Frank Reich and the Colts is set for Aug. 13.

The Eagles will then visit the Dolphins in South Florida on Aug. 20 before the Lincoln Financial Field preseason opener on Aug. 27 for the traditional dress-rehearsal game against the Tom Brady-less New England Patriots.

All four preseason games are on Thursday nights and will be televised locally on NBC10.

The NFL released its full regular-season schedule earlier this month.

That one is a tad more important:
