Eagles to Host Joint Practices in August with Patriots, Jets
You know what I want to do? I want to get it back to the Eagles.
We’ve got a training camp scheduling update, baby.
Looks like the Eagles are gonna trade some helmet paint with a pair of AFC East squads at practice leading up to their preseason games next month.

Caplan also tweeted the Jets practices will be open to the public, so fans will get to take in some post-whistle scrums, shoving, and shit-talking, which, of course, are hallmark characteristics of any NFL joint practice.
On a more serious level, these workouts should be a valuable learning experience for Eagles rookie head coach Nick Sirianni. Having an opportunity to match wits and work against highly-regarded defensive minds like Bill Belichick and Robert Saleh can only be a good thing.
