On Thursday night, the Philadelphia Eagles turned a slow news day into an exciting one. Around the afternoon time, the team was set to participate in their 10th and final OTAs session before mandatory minicamp kicks off next week. Instead, Eagles’ Head Coach Doug Pederson decided to cancel practice. It wasn’t for emergency purposes or anything — he just preferred the team would do something fun before the serious stuff goes down next week.
So rather than practicing, Doug Pederson booked a team bowling session in South Philly. That was the big news for Thursday until hours later.
