Eagles’ coach Nick Sirianni noncommital on how long starters will play in preseason opener vs. Jets

Nick Sirianni confirms the Philadelphia Eagles starters will play in the preseason opener vs. the New York Jets

The Eagles will be without star center Jason Kelce for most of the team’s preseason action, but the starters will get plenty of work in the first matchup.

With Philadelphia having no joint practice sessions with the Jets, head coach Nick Nick Sirianni said his starters will play one or two series on Friday night.

Eagles’ starting quarterback Jalen Hurts will likely play after Jordan Mailata and Andre Dillard cleared concussion protocols earlier this week. With DeVonta Smith nursing a groin injury, Friday night gives Hurts and A.J. Brown a chance to develop some in-game chemistry.

Philadelphia does have joint practice sessions looming with the Browns and Dolphins, so Friday’s appearance for the starters could be the only game action that fans will witness heading into the regular season opener.
