Preseason football is over for the Philadelphia Eagles this year and the team can look ahead to the regular season opener on September 10th. The final game against the Colts was hardly a heart pounder and the Eagles starters all sat, but there were some rookie performances of note.
Jalen Carter: N/A
Jalen Carter figures to be a big piece of the defense in his rookie year and his absence on Thursday was a confirmation of that. Excitement should be high for Carter’s regular season debut.
Nolan Smith: N/A
Nolan Smith sustained a shoulder injury in the Eagles second preseason game, but him not playing last night was precautionary.
