There are times during Eagles practice, often quite a few times, when the whistle blows to end a play and third-string quarterback Thad Lewis, who leads the scout team against the starting defense, will find Fletcher Cox standing next to him.
"I would have hit you on that play," Cox says, before returning to his side of the line of scrimmage.
"I tell him, 'That's good. I look forward to seeing it on Sunday,' " Lewis said.
This week, the game is on Monday instead of Sunday, but Lewis and the rest of the Eagles will again be looking forward to watching Cox go against another quarterback without the protection of a red practice jersey.
