There’s still a lot to figure out, but the Eagles rookies and first-year players reported for training camp on Tuesday, but are first undergoing COVID testing before they’ll be able to get to work on the field.
This ramp up process will also have to be done for the rest of players, who aren’t due to report for camp until July 28 — with quarterbacks and injured veterans expected to return on Thursday, July 23. These safety precautions and delays lend to the NFL’s recent offer to eliminate the preseason altogether.
