Eagles and Patriots complete first joint practice of the summer
Summary

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.
