The Philadelphia Eagles kicked off their 2026 preseason schedule with a LOSS to the Baltimore Ravens. Final score, which doesn\u2019t matter, but we\u2019re logging it here anyway: 24 to 7.<\/p>\n
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\u2019 offense mustered just 100 yards on their first 31 plays before Cole Payton finally led a scoring drive later in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
Read on for some noteworthy moments from Saturday night.<\/p>\n
NOTABLE POSITION BATTLE UPDATES:<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Tanner McKee wasn\u2019t much better. He was 6\/10 for 35 yards and a 66.7 passer rating.<\/p>\n
This outing reflected what we\u2019ve seen from the QB2 battle in training camp thus far; no real separation between these two.<\/p>\n
Marcus Epps \u2014 who isn\u2019t injured to our knowledge \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
Britain Covey was first up at punt returner .<\/p>\n
Quez Watkins and Elijah Moore were first up at kick returner.<\/p>\n
