The Eagles’ vaunted rookie class will get their first opportunity to shine on an NFL field when the team hosts the Jets in a preseason matchup on Friday night at Lincoln Financial Field.
Philadelphia’s starter will play a series or two, allowing the reserves and players on the roster bubble to see extended action against an improving AFC East roster with a talented second-year quarterback in Zach Wilson.
Notable rookies like Carson Strong, Kennedy Brooks, Mario Goodrich, and Josh Jobe will move up the depth chart. At the same time, two former Georgia Bulldogs will look to transfer their SEC dominance into a versatile scheme under Jonathan Gannon.
