The Philadelphia Eagles returned to the Nova Care Complex on Monday to prepare for this week’s final NFL preseason game of the 2019 offseason. However, not everybody was in attendance. And with a key name on the trade block linked to the Eagles, many were under the belief that a sudden absence could be trade-related.
Typically, if a backup lineman such as Jordan Mailata misses practice, nobody would really bat an eye. With Jadeveon Clowney expected to be on the move out of Houston though, many are under the assumption that the Eagles could be a landing spot for him — and Mailata would be a part of the deal considering his sudden emergence during his second year in the NFL.
