The Eagles have wrapped up training camp at the NovaCare Complex, and the team has descended upon Berea, Ohio, for joint practices against the Cleveland Browns.
Philadelphia could see more of Jacoby Brissett after Deshaun Watson agreed to an 11-game suspension and a $5 million fine.
Even with the agreed-upon suspension, the Eagles will compete against the star quarterback during two sessions. Watson’s arm talent will only make Darius Slay and Jonathan Gannon’s defensive unit that much better.
With the practices taking place over the next two days, here are the 10 Eagles to watch.
Haason Reddick, LB
A freak athlete that bulked up over the offseason, Reddick’s pass rush prowess will be on full display against the Browns’ talented offensive line.
Jordan Mailata, LT
It’s unclear if Myles Garrett will be available for the Browns, but Mailata’s matchups against Jadeveon Clowney and the Cleveland pass rushers should get intense.
A.J. Brown physical specimen
Physicality will be on display during one-on-ones, and if Denzel Ward doesn’t participate, Cleveland cornerbacks could get demolished.
Cam Jurgens, C
With Jason Kelce out after elbow surgery, Jurgens will get most of the reps leading up to the season opener.
Eagles brass will look to see how he fares against increased competition.
Quez Watkins, WR
Watkins says he’s the fastest player in the NFL, and Jalen Hurts will look to test out the deep ball against the Browns’ secondary.
Brandon Graham, DE
The Eagles’ biggest trash talker turns up the volume even more against talented opposition, and Cleveland has one of the NFL’s top offensive lines.
Graham and his trash talk will be something to watch.
Jordan Davis, DT
The monster defensive tackle is set to jump up in competition against the Browns guard duo of Wyatt Teller and Joel Bitonio.
Josh Sweat
The Eagles’ top pass rusher should give Browns’ offensive tackle hell over the next two days. Sweat has been quiet this summer, and he’ll start to awaken on Thursday.
Nakobe Dean, LB
Dean, a forceful run-defender at middle linebacker, will get his first taste of heavyweight running backs when Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt take handoffs during the team period.
Cleveland is a run-first team, and Nakobe Dean will get his first intense test.
Darius Slay, CB
Philadelphia’s biggest talker and top playmaker will match up with Amari Cooper for what should be an entertaining brand of throwback football on the outside.
