Eagles Preseason Test Ahead | Philadelphia Eagles News

Eagles preseason opener was a snooze fest, with starters sidelined and backups struggling to impress. But things heat up this week as Philly heads to New England for joint practices with the Patriots — a critical window to see who steps up after that vanilla offensive showing. QBs Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee need to prove they can improve, while Will Shipley’s pushing hard for that third running back spot. Darius Cooper had a rough night, but his camp performance suggests he’s ready to rebound. The defense looks loaded at DT, with fierce competition brewing at pass rusher spots. With roster cuts looming and contracts on the line, these next few weeks will shape the final 53 — and it’s going to be wild.
