August rain welcomed the Eagles to the turf today. But things aren't exactly looking merry. The reigning champs are supposed to be coasting into the season, sipping Gatorade and cracking jokes. Instead, the wide receiver room looks like a MASH unit.
A.J. Brown watches from the sidelines, DeVonta Smith takes a cautious day off, and the promising Johnny Wilson takes an unfortunate cart ride.
It’s the kind of late-August drama that can scramble a championship roster, leaving coaches scanning the table for a new card to play.
That new card is John Metchie.
