Eagles won’t be allowed to hold joint practices during training camp and preseason

NFL announces no joint practices during 2020 training camp, preseason

The NFL is currently full steam ahead with their plans to successfully start the 2020 regular season on time and the league has taken steps to mitigate any potential risk to the coronavirus.

The league announced that teams will have to stay at their team facilities for training camps this summer because of the coronavirus.

Shortly after the league announced further steps to avoid risk, canceling the tradition of joint practices, a staple around the NFL the last few seasons.

Club personnel are taking the steps to return to team facilities and the league has hopes of allowing teams to hold mid-June minicamps.

The Eagles have held joint practices with the Ravens and Patriots in recent years and the work gave a great assessment of how they’d stack up during the regular season.

Even without the minicamps, the NFL is scheduled to start 2020 training camps at the end of July.

8 candidates who could replace Mike Groh as Eagles offensive coordinator

8 candidates who could replace Mike Groh as Eagles offensive coordinator

The Philadelphia Eagles now formally have two coaching vacancies after Doug Pederson backtracked on his Wednesday comments, and fired Mike Groh (OC) and Carson Walch (WR).

On Thursday, Adam Schefter reported that the Eagles had parted ways with their offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach after a rough season that saw skill players regress.

With the Eagles signing Carson Wentz to a longterm deal and the franchise focused on returning to the Super Bowl, here are 8 potential replacements at offensive coordinator for the recently fired Mike Groh.

1. Duce Staley — Eagles assistant head coach

Staley is currently the Eagles running backs coach and also the assistant head coach. Staley, the fifth-leading rusher in franchise history, knows the franchise, has been around some creative offensive play-callers and would have no problem holding quarterback Carson Wentz accountable.

When Pederson promoted Mike Groh to offensive coordinator, it was in part because Groh was more involved with the passing game daily.

With Staley being responsible for the emergence of Boston Scott and Miles Sanders, Staley could get the look.
