The session was open to media and I was there. Remember that these are still non-contact drills at this point. Players aren’t allowed to wear pads yet. There’s only so much to be gleaned from players running around in shorts, so take these observations for what they’re worth.• Today’s practice was very short. Like, 24 minutes short. So, yeah, these notes are gonna be short.• The Eagles held practice inside since it was raining out earlier. We’re off to a hot start with these observations, huh?• DeSean Jackson was resting today. The recovering Rodney McLeod and Ronald Darby got some position drill reps in. Encouraging. McLeod told reporters he expects to be full go for training camp.• Today’s biggest highlight was when Carson Wentz threw a pass to Charles Johnson in the back of the end zone. Johnson was tightly covered so Wentz threw it high and the 6-2 receiver was able to make the leaping grab. It looked like Johnson might have failed to tap both toes but Jim Schwartz signaled touchdown, so you know it was legit. I already mentioned it in my Wednesday notes but Wentz has looked pretty sharp in the red zone this spring. Good sign. Wentz only ranked 15th in red zone completion percentage and tied for 14th in red zone touchdowns in 2018. He ranked second in both of those categories back in 2017. • There’s some legitimate competition for the fifth and sixth receiver spots. Johnson, Marken Michel http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-deandre-carter-jersey , and Greg Ward will try to unseat Shelton Gibson and Mack Hollins.• Nate Sudfeld made one of his better throws of the spring when he hit a diving Carlton Agudosi in a tight window for a touchdown.• JJ Arcega-Whiteside drew a defensive pass interference penalty on Rasul Douglas. Wentz was looking to go back shoulder to the rookie wide receiver but Douglas smothered him (illegally, according to the refs). • Doug Pederson jokingly told reporters we could stay and watch the Eagles’ final practice sprints if we stayed and ran with the team. A light mood to break minicamp. • Here’s some practice video:• This has nothing to do with practice but I wanted to find a spot for these tweets. Enjoy....UP NEXTMinicamp is over! The Eagles are off until training camp begins later this summer. Pederson said players will report on Wednesday, July 24. That means the first practice will take place on Thursday, July 25. That’s 42 days away. Just because the team is going on break doesn’t mean we are. Stay tuned here to Bleeding Green Nation for daily Eagles content to pass the time until camp begins!

I do. It sucked!Instead of being able to look forward to the upcoming football season, fans were stuck following along with a bunch of boring legal stuff.It was a relief that the work stoppage didn’t last into the regular season Womens Nigel Bradham Jersey , though it did stretch out until late July. Eagles fans will (unfortunately) remember that time well. It was the birth of the dreaded “Dream Team” era, after all. Philadelphia signed a bunch of free agents (Nnamdi Asomugha, Jason Babin, Vince Young, Cullen Jenkins, Ronnie Brown, Evan Mathis) right as a shortened training camp began. Sorry to remind you.The (potentially) good news is that it looks like there might not be another lockout in the near future. Check out this new reporting from ESPN’s Dan Graziano:Finalizing a new CBA before this upcoming season pretty optimistic. Too optimistic, I’d say. From the outside looking in Brandon Brooks Jersey , it seems like the gap between the owners and the players isn’t a small one to bridge. Think back to Malcolm Jenkins comments from earlier this year: So, yeah. It’d be surprising if a new deal came together so quickly. At the very least, it’s encouraging to hear the NFL and the NFLPA are talking and potentially making progress. There’s still plenty of time before the 2021 season gets here.A deal getting done before the 2019 season would be great news for football fans. It’d be ideal if the new CBA is finalized by the 2021 offseason at the latest so that a lockout doesn’t interrupt free agency and whatnot leading up to the 2021 season.Again, there’s a lot of time for things to change. Hopefully this optimism doesn’t end up being for naught.
