Andy Reid has decided to close all Eagles practices to the media during the season. The Eagles typically allow reporters to watch most of practice on Thursdays and Fridays, but for competitive reasons, Reid said, he has decided for the first time in his 14 seasons as head coach to close those practices. Reporters will be permitted to watch the first ten minutes of practice, as they do on Wednesdays. That period is allotted mostly to allow television cameraman and photographers to shoot the team. "My No. 1 priority here is to win football games and put the best product on the field," Reid personally told reporters at the NovaCare Complex media room. "Any of the competitive advantages that take place I want to do this."
