Episode 158: New QB coach Brian Johnson has an important task

It's time to hit the road for the Eagles, who are in Cleveland preparing for two days of joint practices against the Cleveland and a preseason game against the Browns on Sunday afternoon.

The roster is down to 85 players and in two weeks' time will be down to 53. Also, more thoughts on QB Jalen Hurts and the pressure his mobility places on defense – a "superpower" he has.

After missing five practices with a groin injury, WR DeVonta Smith returned to the practice field this week and says he is revved up and is raring to be a part of this Eagles' offense, one that started fast in the preseason opener against Cleveland.

The Eagles opened up a 14-0 lead in the preseason opener and the head coach was pleased with the performance of the starters, including QB Jalen Hurts and his decision making and throw accuracy.

In his first game as an Eagle, albeit a preseason game, linebacker Kyzir White intercepted a pass that led to a touchdown in Friday's preseason opener. White talks about his big game in this Eagles Update.

An opening 7-play, 80-yard touchdown drive highlighted the offensive performance and a Kyzir White interception led to another touchdown. We hear from quarterback Jalen Hurts, head coach Nick Sirianni and White after the 24-21 loss. The big news is the start, which we talk about here.

The Eagles open the 2022 preseason with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff tonight at Lincoln Financial Field against the New York Jets. The starters are expected to play for a series or two and then the rest of the roster will compete for a spot on the team's active roster this season. Rookie DT Jordan Davis, for one, is excited to get it rolling!

Rookie second-round draft pick Cam Jurgens will "fill in" for injured starting C Jason Kelce in Friday's preseason opener against the New York Jets. While Kelce recovers from an elbow procedure, Jurgens will gain valuable experience in the middle of the offensive line. He's excited for the opportunity.
