The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to be a younger, faster, and healthier team during the upcoming 2020 NFL season.
Howie Roseman has taken more steps to ensure a healthy and productive season and the Eagles have made changes to their sports medicine/performance staff, per Tim McManus of ESPN.com, by adding Eddie Grayer as an assistant strength coach and parting with assistant athletic trainers Micah Gerhart and Mark Lewis.
Grayer previously worked with the new director of sports performance Ted Rath in L.A. and played a part in the Rams being one of the NFL’s healthiest teams over the past two seasons.
Rath joined the Rams after eight seasons as a Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions assistant.
Rath and Jim Schwartz have history, but most important to the Eagles, his recent stint with the Rams resulted in LA having one of the healthiest teams in the NFL.
Rath is to like utilizing analytics, wellness checks and recovery plans to keep players healthy while using a digital questionnaire — similar to a short quiz — to stay updated on his player’s health.
