The Eagles will kick off their 2021 training camp this week at the NovaCare Complex, with the team’s first practice under rookie head coach Nick Sirianni scheduled for Wednesday.
Things will be a bit different this offseason. Thanks to the NFL’s new 18-week season, the Eagles will play just three preseason games, two at home at Lincoln Financial Field.
All three preseason games will be broadcast on NBC10, called once again by Scott Graham, Ross Tucker, and Dave Spadaro. They’ll also air on 94.1 WIP, with Merrill Reese and Mike Quick returning for their 23rd season broadcasting Eagles games together. Reese has been the voice of the Eagles since 1977, and is the longest-tenured play-by-play announcer in the NFL.
The Birds will host two practices open to fans this year at the Linc, with tickets priced at $10 (though parking is free). The team will also take part in two joint practices — against the New England Patriots at the NovaCare Complex, and against the New York Jets in northern New Jersey.
