PHILADELPHIA − The Eagles are back at practice on Aug. 17 after their 24-7 preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens two days earlier. It's the Eagles' only full practice before heading up to New England for practice sessions with the Patriots and A.J. Brown on Aug. 19 and 20. Buy Philadelphia Eagles tickets The practices against the Patriots are mostly for the first-teamers. So QB Jalen Hurts and the other starters should get plenty of work this week against the Patriots. It'll be interesting to see if some of the injured players, most notably wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon, are eligible to practice this week. The Delaware News Journal is providing live updates from training camp practices. Follow along here for the latest news and analysis: Some key Eagles players back; is DeVonta Smith?

In addition, WR DeVona Smith, who last practiced Aug. 3 because of a hamstring injury, is back. That means he will likely practice this week against the Patriots.
