DeVonta Smith to face Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley in week one of NFL season

The Philadelphia Eagles started rookie minicamp today, and teams in the National Football League released their regular-season schedules.

Week one begins on Thursday, Sept. 9 with the Dallas Cowboys facing Tampa Bay.

On Sunday, Sept. 12, we will have a few matchups that feature former Alabama football standouts. Philadelphia will travel to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta to battle the Falcons. The contest has Jalen Hurts against Matt Ryan, but it also presents the tandem of Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley versus DeVonta Smith. All three players are in the Crimson Tide record books for catches, receiving yards, and touchdowns.
