Eagles Players Are Working Out at Fletcher Cox's House and Philly Fans Will Love It
By Emily Adams
Training facilities across the country are still closed to athletes, but that isn't stopping the Philadelphia Eagles from putting in their offseason work as a team.
On Instagram Live with wide receiver DeSean Jackson, defensive end Brandon Graham said he and the rest of the Eagles offensive line were working out together at defensive tackle Fletcher Cox's Shady Trell Ranch in Jacksboro, Texas. Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, who the Birds acquired in free agency this offseason, was notably absent. Cox said that he wasn't able to make it.
While we would have love to see Hargrave getting in some reps with his new squad, we're excited to see the gang back together in some capacity. Texas is reopening and has eased many of its social distancing guidelines, so we hope the players are training responsibly too.
The defensive line isn't the only Eagles unit that's been training together. Graham said on the IG Live with Jackson that he has been working out with cornerback Darius Slay. Apparently, the pair have been training together for over a year, and it was a stroke of good luck when the Eagles decided to trade for him.
We're glad to see the Birds staying sharp in the offseason and getting in some off-field bonding as well. This looks to set up for some crazy defensive chemistry. If Carson Wentz and his receivers get together sometime soon, that would be icing on the cake.
