Early Birds: Brad Jones' versatility; RG competition to be determined in games; John Moffitt's progress

1) Brad Jones is taking more outside linebacker snaps after Travis Long’s injury, although this is not a major adjustment. The Eagles viewed Jones as a player with the versatility to play both outside linebacker and inside linebacker when they signed him in ealry March. It was an under-the-radar signing, but he has experience starting at both spots with the Green Bay Packers and could turn into a key reserve.

“He's done it,” coach Chip Kelly said. “I think there's tape out there. When he was in Green Bay, he did both. …He actually has NFL experience of playing both inside and outside linebacker.
