Eagles coach Nick Sirianni discusses value of joint practices with Patriots

During joint practice sessions with the New England Patriots, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni emphasized the importance of these workouts leading into the preseason. While the Eagles lost 24-21 in the subsequent preseason game, Sirianni highlighted the benefits of competing against another team for evaluating players and creating game scenarios. The practices allowed the Eagles to work on specific situations that might occur in games, making them more valuable than typical training sessions. With one preseason game remaining against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Eagles will build on the experiences from their time in Foxborough.
