Eagles’ head coach Doug Pederson was in a good mood on Friday ahead of practice, making jokes and smiling big as he met with the media. He gave some injury updates, and spoke about the young skill players stepping up, and his overall record against the Cowboys.
He also explained the weird practice schedule this week, including having the day off on Tuesday and a walk-thru on Wednesday. Pederson noted that he did this the past couple of years, and this time of year it’s more about the mental part of the game, and the guys can use the extra rest.
