Eagles Defense Steps Up in Day Two | Philadelphia Eagles News

Eagles’ joint practices with the Patriots took a major turn on day two—passing game exploded, defense showed flashes of brilliance, and key players like Riq Woolen and Jalyx Hunt delivered standout performances. Woolen locked down A.J. Brown and snagged an interception that nearly turned into a pick-six, while Hunt forced a fumble and made a diving catch. Rookie Quinyon Mitchell struggled, surrendering five TDs to Brown. The offensive line had hiccups, including a holding penalty and a scuffle involving Lane Johnson. But there’s reason for optimism: Makai Lemon returned for limited work, and Jalen Hurts threw four touchdowns despite a couple of picks, ending practice on a high note. It’s a mixed bag—but the Eagles are clearly finding their rhythm as they gear up for Week 1. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
