Well, that didn’t take long. Things sure got interesting in a hurry, didn’t they? We were smack dab in that dead news spell. That always hangs over us before the Philadelphia Eagles begin training camp, but once our guys reported to the NovaCare Complex, the news began dropping so fast it will make your head spin.
We have turned the page from July to August. That means we are nearing the next stage of our journey. The first of three preseason games will kick off on August 9th at 7:30 pm EST.
The task of trimming a 90-man training camp roster to a 53-man regular-season roster is underway. With so many good players on the squad, as is the case every offseason, we’ll get to know some dark horse candidates we’ll fall in love with while also saying farewell to some ballers.
Fear not! Adding 16 players to the practice squad is also an option, or in Philly’s case 17 players. Laekin Vakalahi is given an exemption as an undrafted rookie added by way of the International Pathways Player Program.
