The Eagles players want to play in the preseason, but will Eagles coach Nick Sirianni let them when they travel to the Baltimore to play the Ravens on Friday night?
PHILADELPHIA – The last NFL game Isaiah Rodgers played was on Dec. 26, 2022. He was on the field for just 14 snaps - 10 on defense, four on special teams for the Indianapolis Colts in a 20-3 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Now with the Eagles, the cornerback wants to make up for lost time.
Asked what he would like to accomplish if he did play, Rodgers responded: “I want a pick six, a kick return, I want everything.” Weather could be a factor. Tropical Storm Debby is afoot, and it could unload several inches of rain along the eastern seaboard. Rookie fifth-round offensive lineman Trevor Keegan will play, presumably. And the Michigan product can’t wait. Earlier in the week, he turned to backup right tackle Fred Johnson, who will also likely play, that he couldn’t wait to play in his first NFL game, even if it doesn’t count in the standings.
In 2022, the coach played his starters for one drive, when Jalen Hurts engineered a touchdown drive that ended with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert. It was a good start on the road that ended in Super Bowl LVII. Last year, the starters didn’t play at all.
