The Eagles will practice indoors today for their sixth and final OTA (and end of the offseason program) as the east coast deals with poor air quality.
The Eagles will practice indoors today for their sixth and final OTA (and end of the offseason program). Tight squeeze with offseason roster size, but a necessary move given the air quality.

According to CBS News, Philadelphia now has the worst air quality of any major city in the world as smoke from wildfires in Canada is moving through the region.
Canada’s most hazardous smoke moved through the Philadelphia area from Wednesday night into early Thursday morning.
According to AirNow.com’s Air Quality Index, Philadelphia is currently at 447. The air particles are considered “hazardous” at 300. Everyone is likely to be affected due to the hazardous quality of the air.
The Lehigh Valley ranks as the second worst air quality with 419, while Susquehanna Valley ranks third. Across the river in New Jersey, Monmouth, parts of Burlington and Ocean Counties are also experiencing harmful conditions.
Some rain is expected on Thursday or Friday, but no major storms are expected, and the air quality should improve by Friday.
The Eagles will now break until late July, when training camp begins.
