The Balance Preseason Pressure Cooker: Eagles, Colts, Nick Chubb’s Farewell

from The Balance · host Thomas D Marquis

The countdown to kickoff is on! Ed Kracz, Philadelphia Eagles beat writer for Sports Illustrated, joins Tom Marquis on The Balance with the latest news straight from Eagles camp. We examine Philadelphia’s roster battles, check in on the Indianapolis Colts and their quarterback situation, and discuss what preseason performances actually matter. We’ll also salute four-time Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb, who announced his retirement after eight NFL seasons. Chubb finishes his career with 7,349 rushing yards, 54 rushing touchdowns and an impressive 5.0 yards per carry. Reuters Then it’s our NFL preseason lightning round: all 32 teams, as time permits! Which contenders look ready? Which rookies are making noise? Which position battles could reshape the season—and which teams should already be concerned? The regular season is almost here, and nobody covers the road to kickoff quite like The Balance!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-balance--6491129/support.
