The Eagles faced the Patriots in their first joint practice on August 19, 2026, in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The session lasted two hours, with standout performances from running back Saquon Barkley, who showcased explosive runs, and wide receiver Elijah Moore, who caught a long touchdown pass. However, cornerback Riq Woolen struggled in coverage, raising concerns about his technique. The Eagles' coaching staff appears to favor Hollywood Brown and Moore over Darius Cooper for offensive playing time, as Cooper has been primarily with the second and third teams.
