All 89 Eagles players trotted out onto the fields at NovaCare Complex on Thursday afternoon for the first full-team practice. Head coach Doug Pederson expressed his overall enthusiasm in having his players available for the first week of Training Camp. Pederson also briefed the media on the departures of guard Allen Barbre, who was traded to the Denver Broncos for a conditional pick in 2019, and the release of defensive end Marcus Smith. Barbre, a 10-year veteran, spent five seasons with the Eagles and started in 12 games last season.
“First of all, I appreciate everything Allen did for us last year, for this organization, and the last few seasons,” Pederson stated.
