3 Eagles players to watch vs. Titans

Football returns for the Tennessee Titans the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday evening.

The Eagles open as favorites by a point spread of (-4), and won the most recent clash on their turf between the two teams at Lincoln Financial Field, 43-24 in November of 2014.

In an otherwise meaningless game, Philadelphia will look to replicate its success.

Here are three Eagles to watch on Thursday.

DE Josh Sweat

Sweat didn’t have the best debut in 2018, but he’s got a second shot this season. The second-year pass rusher still has time to come into his own, and stands a good chance at making a better impression now that he’s put on weight in the offseason.

That all begins on Thursday.

CB Sidney Jones

The third-year slot cornerback was incredibly inconsistent in his first two season, but could get better on the outside this year. The best case scenario for Jones finds as the team’s best overall cover guy.

RB Miles Sanders

Sanders may be just a rookie, but this Penn State rusher could become an instant hit on the Philadelphia offense. He’s already looking like one of the best running backs on the team, and really make himself a factor depending on his ability to pick up the blitz and make receptions.
