Five position battles to watch during the Philadelphia Eagles’ joint practice sessions with the Cleveland Browns

After 12 days of intense group practice, the Eagles will face opposition from the AFC over the next two weeks with joint practices against the Browns and Dolphins.

Philadelphia arrived in Berea, Ohio, on Wednesday night, and they’ll kick off day one of the joint sessions during the peak hours for heat, as Cleveland prefers to practice later in the afternoon.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is big on using joint practice sessions to gauge his team’s competitive spirit and ability to be precise with schemes, formations, and overall game management. As far as Sirianni goes, the next two weeks of practice are Philadelphia’s preseason games, and the roster separation will begin on Thursday afternoon.

With the roster needing to be trimmed down to 80 by Tuesday, here are five position battles to watch.
