The Philadelphia Eagles kicked off their 2026 preseason schedule with a LOSS to the Baltimore Ravens. Final score, which doesn’t matter, but we’re logging it here anyway: 24 to 7.
To no surprise, the Eagles barely played any starters in this game. You could say that any football is better than no football but this was mostly a boring game. The Eagles’ offense mustered just 100 yards on their first 31 plays before Cole Payton finally led a scoring drive later in the fourth quarter.
Read on for some noteworthy moments from Saturday night.
NOTABLE POSITION BATTLE UPDATES:
Andy Dalton got the start on Saturday night. The offense ran nine plays for 12 yards and three punts while he was in. Not exactly sharp. He finished 3/6 for 20 yards and 57.6 passer rating.
Tanner McKee wasn’t much better. He was 6/10 for 35 yards and a 66.7 passer rating.
This outing reflected what we’ve seen from the QB2 battle in training camp thus far; no real separation between these two.
Marcus Epps — who isn’t injured to our knowledge — did not dress for this game while Michael Carter II did. Advantage: Epps, who has been taking most of the first-team safety reps in camp.
Britain Covey was first up at punt returner .
Quez Watkins and Elijah Moore were first up at kick returner.
