Kiko Alonso returns to practice

Later, Alonso refused a team spokesman’s request that he speak briefly about his return.

Wednesday, the Eagles practiced for the first of three days against the Baltimore Ravens, who they will host Saturday night at Lincoln Financial Field in the second preseason game for both teams.

The rookie corner in question is Eric Rowe and Smith said facing him for a few seconds at a time made it hard to judge “if he’s going to be the next Deion Sanders”.

“It’s going to be a good competition”, right tackle Lane Johnson said. “Number one, a different offense”.

However, if I’m piecing together what I saw and what was said back and forth per Tornoe, Innes insulted Missanelli, and when Missanelli gave him a little head fake, Innes basically ran. We didn’t see much two-back.

“We weren’t thinking about anything related to the future that day”, Steve Flacco said Wednesday, when he drove from his Audubon, New Jersey, home to watch Joe and his Ravens practice with the Eagles at the NovaCare Complex.

“I think mentally, he’s good, but he has been out for two weeks, so he’ll go through agilities and individual drills today and maybe just a little 7-on-7”, Kelly said. I wanted to get a look at Couplin since he’s missed a lot of time this summer after undergoing an appendectomy, but didn’t see much. So that will be some good matchups with our offensive line. I thought we finished very strong. “Schematically, I think there are some different things that I think our defense is excited to get a chance to see”. “I thought the pocket collapsed a little bit both on Matt (Barkley) and Timmy (Tebow)”. Great example is last year I’m on the team with Pernell McPhee, I never knew about Pernell McPhee. There’s a lot of technical things we need to continue to work on.

“It’ll be good to get all the guys back”, said inside linebacker Emmanuel Acho, who played well in the absence of the top three on Sunday.

– The Eagles made a clear effort to force fumbles on defense. So I’ve already shared those with Zach. So it’s still an ongoing process but we were pleased how the nickels played.

Also, when you are out in pads on a blazing hot day, there are sometimes going to be some fights and players that get disgruntled with who they are going up against. “You get that rep at full speed and that’s what really matters”. “He’s kind of coming on”, Eagles coach Chip Kelly said yesterday, before the team took the field for a light workout. Kelly echoed that rational again on Tuesday, saying, “We’ll ease him back in”.

Alonso sat out last year after tearing his ACL. “Yeah, he stepped back and wet himself just like he did months ago when Gargano confronted him”, said Missanelli. Hands are such an underrated part of line play, but that’s where Logan is winning right now. Each coach stayed on the field with their offense. When you have the ability to bring [DE] Vinny [Curry] and [DT] Beau Allen and [DE] Taylor Hart and [DE] Brandon Bair in that next group, there’s not a big dropoff. “We’re counting on the Eagles to do that, and we’ll be emphasizing that to our guys as well”.

Beyond the injuries, Kelly is looking forward to the competition in practices with the Ravens, who are coached by John Harbaugh, formerly of the Eagles and Newtown Square. “Any of that kind of stuff that you would normally have at practice, I’m sure we’ll have with those guys”.
