PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets open their season tonight at Lincoln Financial Field, a rare preseason opener for both teams (Philadelphia and New York usually play each other in the last game of the preseason).
As for the Eagles (+1 via Caesars Sportsbook), the starters are expected to play a series or two Friday night. Zach Wilson is expected to start as the first team offense for the Jets and the defense is expected to play in a series or two. Jets head coach Robert Saleh said he will pull the starting offense after a good first series. Wilson will be succeeded by Joe Flacco and Mike White.
Gardner Minshew, who struggled in training camp, will come in for Jalen Hurts. Reed Sinnett will follow suit with undrafted rookie Carson Strong battling for a roster spot, though Sinnett has built a big gap at that spot.
Plenty of second and third team players will get an appearance in the opening game, so follow along here for all the action!
