The Eagles didn’t really practice Friday – they held a walkthrough. With two games left in the regular season and a divisional-round postseason berth assured, a good bit of the focus is on getting to that hard-earned playoff bye week without further injury.

“We have a longer week, so we’ve been able to spread it out more,” center Jason Kelce said. The Eagles don’t play until Monday night, when they host the Oakland Raiders.

The Birds could clinch home field throughout the playoffs if the Packers were to upset the Vikings Saturday night, which would put an even bigger premium on preparing for the postseason; you’d likely see quite a few starters play briefly Monday, or not at all.
