With a little more than a month remaining until the Eagles kick off their 2021 NFL season against the Atlanta Falcons, the team will hold the first of two open practices during training camp at Lincoln Financial Field Sunday night.
Once again, the Eagles are charging $10 a ticket to attend the open practice, with proceeds going to autism research. Tickets remain available at Ticketmaster, and fans can also purchase tickets at the Linc on Sunday. The team will hold a second public practice at the Linc on Aug. 22.
All eyes will be on Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who enters the season as the Birds’ starting quarterback after Carson Wentz (who is expected to miss five to 12 weeks due to a foot injury) was traded to the Indianapolis Colts. It’ll also be the first chance fans get to see first-time head coach Nick Sirianni, who has proven to be an animated replacement for Doug Pederson, in person.
Unfortunately, 2021 first-round draft pick DeVonta Smith remains sidelined with a sprained MCL, which is expected to keep him out the bulk of the preseason.

As with every training camp session, staff writers Jeff McLane, EJ Smith, Paul Domowitch, and Josh Tolentino will be covering all the action live on Twitter. Notes and observations about the day’s practice will be at Inquirer.com/eagles. Our Early Birds newsletter also includes practice highlights.
94.1 WIP will air live coverage of the open practice, with Jon Johnson, Eliot Shorr-Parks, and Inquirer columnist Marcus Hayes broadcasting live from the Linc.

One thing you won’t see this year is live coverage of the practice on NBC Sports Philadelphia. The network tried to broadcast live from the Eagles’ only open practice in 2019, but drew widespread criticism for not actually showing much of the action on the field.
Instead, NBC Sports Philadelphia has been airing footage from training camp on Eagles Practice All Access, hosted by former Eagles offensive lineman Barrett Brooks. The final episode airs on NBC Sports Philadelphia+ on Sunday at 4 p.m., and the network will air a full recap of Sunday’s open practice in Monday’s SportsNet Central.
