What is the story about?
Patriots-Eagles
joint practices are on the clock. Mike Vrabel speaks at 9:30. Practice starts at 10:15. Media availability, including A.J. Brown, is scheduled for 12:15.
Enjoy the links below to review the storylines and things we’ll be watching to get ready for the next two days. I’m guessing the Patriots and Eagles will play it smarter than the brawling Cowboys-Saints joint practices. Can’t wait to see how it all plays out.
