Early Birds: Public practices, scouting changes, and Ryan Day on Chip Kelly
1) There are only two public practices after three last year and four in 2013. This is unfortunate for fans that look forward to watching practices, but it’s the reality of practicing at the NovaCare Complex. The Eagles’ agreement with the city limits the amount of people they can have watching practice at the team facility.
Holding public practices at Lincoln Financial Field is the team’s best way to practice for fans, but it’s difficult to do and not the most effective practices. With training camp rosters at 90, practices are much more difficult on one field compared to three fields and extra space at the NovaCare Complex.
