After being disinvited to the White House, the Eagles suddenly found themselves with a free day … so they're going to work.
The team is making the most of it, holding a voluntary OTA practice at the NovaCare Complex on Tuesday morning.
The Eagles, in a statement last night, said they "are looking forward to continuing our preparations for the 2018 season."
Apparently, continues on Tuesday. The team is having a Phase 2 practice, which is slightly lighter than a normal Phase 3 OTA day. In Phase 2, coaches are allowed on the field, but there's no offense vs. defense of any kind and no helmets.
