Eagles’ Preseason Loss Reveals Key Insights
The Philadelphia Eagles took the field against the New England Patriots in a preseason matchup that saw every starter left on the bench, a move interpreted as a precautionary measure amid injury concerns. Among the backups, running back Carson Steele turned heads with a prolific receiving day — seven targets, six catches for 84 yards and a touchdown — while also flashing the ability to line up in a fullback‑type role. On defense, Ty Robinson continued his upward trajectory, logging three sacks, four tackles for loss and four quarterback hits across two preseason games, while rookie Joshua Weru recorded his first NFL sack in his second career appearance, underscoring his potential for a future roster spot. The quarterback competition remains unsettled; Tanner McKee was favored over Andy Dalton for the QB2 slot despite Dalton’s trade value rumors, a choice that may shape the team’s depth chart heading into the regular season.
