After a long offseason, Philadelphia Eagles football is FINALLY back! The games don’t matter since it's only the preseason, but it's still better than nothing. At least that’s what I’ll tell myself before the fourth quarter starts and I just want the game to end.
The Eagles are set to play the Green Bay Packers at 8:00 PM ET on Thursday evening during the first week of the 2017 NFL preseason schedule. This is the first time the Birds will suit up since they beat the Dallas Cowboys on January 1, the final day of the 2016 season.
Philadelphia's starters will likely only play a series or two, so expect about eight to 14 snaps. Carson Wentz will start at quarterback before Matt McGloin finishes off the first half. Nick Foles is expected to be out after not practicing for over a week. Doug Pederson didn’t confirm who else will be out but we reported last week that Alshon Jeffery is expected to sit tonight.
Here's everything you need to know about how to watch the game.
