The Philadelphia Eagles veterans joined the rookies on the field for the official start of training camp on Thursday. Aside from a few veterans who were cut on the previous day, everyone was in attendance. Surprisingly, the Eagles had no one holding out for contract purposes. It was especially surprising for fans to see the wide receiver, Jordan Matthews in attendance.
Rumors floated around for the last couple days or so about Matthews status with the Eagles. While we were all aware of his knee injury, something still felt off about how things were being handled.
