A.J. Epenesa expresses relief about joining Eagles instead of Browns
Summary

A.J. Epenesa, now with the Philadelphia Eagles, commented on his previous situation with the Cleveland Browns, stating he is glad to be an Eagle after a deal fell through due to physical concerns. The Eagles are currently in training camp, where the offensive unit has struggled at times, partially due to ongoing injuries among key players like Makai Lemon. Competition for the backup quarterback role between Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee is intensifying, with both adapting to a unique practice structure. Each is waiting for directions on when to take reps in drills, mirroring game day unpredictability. Epenesa's enthusiasm for his new team is emphasized amid the adjustments the Eagles face during camp.
