The Philadelphia Eagles will give fans an opportunity to watch the team work at Lincoln Financial Field as preparations continue for Friday's preseason finale against the Cincinnati Bengals. With most of Philadelphia's established starters unlikely to play Friday, the open practice could provide the best remaining look at Jalen Hurts and the first-team units before the regular-season opener against the Washington Commanders.
Here are the biggest storylines Eagles fans should follow.
Philadelphia is trending toward having its top three receivers available for Week 1. DeVonta Smith and rookie Makai Lemon were full participants Monday, while Dontayvion Wicks has continued working with the starting offense.
The open practice should offer another opportunity to evaluate their timing with Hurts. Lemon missed valuable time with a hamstring injury, making every rep important as he adjusts to the offense and builds chemistry with Philadelphia's starting quarterback.
The Eagles continue listing Dalton and McKee together behind Hurts, but their preseason production has been significantly different. McKee completed 16 of 22 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns against New England. Dalton has struggled to generate consistent offense during his preseason opportunities. Philadelphia's coaches have stressed that the decision will be based on the complete body of work. How the repetitions are divided during open practice could offer another clue about the competition.
