EARLIER...
The Philadelphia Eagles will take on the New England Patriots in preseason game No. 2 tonight at Gillette Stadium at 7:00 p.m. We'll all watch, because that's what we do.
Some things to watch:
- Who doesn't play could indicate players who have won starting jobs.
- Will Kenny Pickett or Tanner McKee separate from the other?
- The Patriots' receivers.
- The Eagles' receivers.
- A bunch of bubble players on defense will be fighting for roster spots.
