Philadelphia Eagles plan to test new offensive scheme through September

Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman intends to use the opening four games of the regular season to evaluate the team's new offensive system. The coaching staff led by Sean Mannion kept schemes hidden during the preseason, largely keeping starters like Jalen Hurts on the sidelines. Roseman described the initial month of the season as a ramp-up period to assess the performance of the roster against starting-caliber opponents. While the front office maintains confidence in the current group of players, Roseman stated that roster spots remain competitive. The organization retains the flexibility to seek external upgrades through the trade market should deficiencies arise during the early portion of the schedule.
