Eagles practice notes: A couple key players return from injury originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
There’s no holiday weekend at the NovaCare Complex. The Eagles have to get ready for Week 1.
With their season opener in São Paulo, Brazil, just around the corner, the Eagles practiced on Sunday afternoon in what would be akin to a Wednesday practice during the regular season.
The Eagles will practice on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in South Philly this week before flying to Brazil on Wednesday. They’ll have a walkthrough at the Corinthians Arena on Thursday before playing the Packers on Friday night at the same venue.

But on Sunday, it appeared that every player on the 53-man roster was practicing. Two players on the practice squad — tight end Jack Stoll and safety Caden Sterns — were not. It’s worth monitoring the situation with Stoll because the Eagles have just two tight ends on the roster and he could be the most likely elevation for game day.

Roster move
Just before practice, the Eagles made a couple roster moves, signing WR Griffin Hebert and TE Kevin Foelsch to the practice squad. Both Hebert and Foelsch were with the Eagles during training camp.
With these two additions, the Eagles’ practice squad is full at 17 players,…
