Last season, when the Eagles were shaky in beating the New England Patriots in the regular-season opener, head coach Nick Sirianni said he would "re-evaluate some of the preseason stuff," specifically whether he would play his starters during the preseason games.
It's certainly looking, however, like Jalen Hurts and most of the offensive starters will sit for a second straight game when the Eagles face the New England Patriots on Thursday night.
The reasoning for Week 2 is clear because the Eagles practiced against the Patriots on Tuesday, which Sirianni considers as better work than the game at this point.
