Eagles news: 7 reasons for optimism after joint practices with the Browns

Jalen Hurts’ improvement is one of seven reasons the Philadelphia Eagles should be optimistic after joint practices with the Cleveland Browns.

The Eagles’ two-day joint practice sessions with the Browns have wrapped and the organization will enter Sunday’s second preseason contest with even renewed optimism for 2022.

Philadelphia’s expectations are growing after adding Haason Reddick who registered 23.5 sacks over the past two seasons. That potential grew even larger after the Eagles upgraded the receiving corps by trading for A.J. Brown on draft weekend and signing the Pro Bowl wideout to a four-year, $100 million deal that included $57 million in guarantees.

After adding Jordan Davis, Cam Jurgens, Nakobe Dean via the draft, and James Bradberry late in free agency, the Birds are among the best teams in the NFC and are growing confidence with the speedy Dolphins next on the horizon.

With joint practices completed, here are seven reasons for optimism.

Takeaways and observations from Eagles first joint practice with Browns

Takeaways and observations from Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns’ first joint practice

The Eagles and Browns first of two joint practices sessions got underway on Thursday under the backdrop of the NFL, NFLPA, and quarterback Deshaun Watson agreeing to an updated suspension that consists of 11 games missed and a $5 million fine.

Both teams had success on the day, but the first day was split up and consisted of the Eagles’ defense joining the Browns’ offense on one field and vice versa for Philadelphia’s offense and Cleveland’s defense.

Both teams will get together on Friday for day two of joint sessions before a day off on Saturday and the second preseason matchup on Sunday afternoon.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett took most of the first teamwork for Cleveland, while DeVonta Smith returned in full pads and made his presence felt immediately.

With the Philadelphia Eagles in Berea, Ohio, for joint practice sessions with the Cleveland Browns, here are ten players to watch

The Eagles have wrapped up training camp at the NovaCare Complex, and the team has descended upon Berea, Ohio, for joint practices against the Cleveland Browns.

Philadelphia could see more of Jacoby Brissett after Deshaun Watson agreed to an 11-game suspension and a $5 million fine.

Even with the agreed-upon suspension, the Eagles will compete against the star quarterback during two sessions. Watson’s arm talent will only make Darius Slay and Jonathan Gannon’s defensive unit that much better.

With the practices taking place over the next two days, here are the 10 Eagles to watch.

Browns QB Deshaun Watson agrees to 11-Game Suspension, $5M fine ahead of joint practices vs. Eagles

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson agrees to 11-Game Suspension, $5M fine ahead of joint practices with Eagles

The Eagles are in Berea, Ohio, for joint practices with the Browns, and it’ll be a media frenzy after news broke that Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson agreed to an 11-game suspension and $5 million fine.

With Browns officials now knowing Watson’s exact fate, Philadelphia will likely see more of backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett during joint practices with the team working on getting him prepared for the season opener.

Watson was initially given a six-game suspension by former U.S. District Court Judge Sue Robinson after the NFLPA and the NFL appointed her as the arbitrator for the disciplinary hearing in June.

The league appealed the former judge’s ruling on Aug. 3, and the NFL appointed former New Jersey Attorney General Peter C. Harvey to hear the appeal.

The original 6-game suspension would have kept Watson out of the lineup until the Browns matchup against the Ravens in Week 7.

Now, Watson will return in Week 13 for a road matchup against his former team, the Houston Texans.
