The Philadelphia Eagles face a critical second day of joint practice, seeking redemption after AJ Brown’s dominance and a lackluster defensive performance against the New England Patriots. Questions loom over Riq Woolen and the entire secondary as Pop Douglas and Romeo Doubs found success, while safeties like Andrew Makuba need to step up.
