After taking an array of body blows from the Cleveland Browns on Monday, Philadelphia bounced back in a major way with an intense response during Tuesday’s practice.
Both teams went at it for a little over an hour, with Reed Blankenship interception Browns’ quarterback Deshaun Watson for the second straight day.
Jalen Hurts had a much improved day, again connecting with A.J. Brown on a deep ball.
With both teams now off until Thursday night’s preseason action, we’re looking at highlights and notes from Day 2.

A.J. Brown terrorizing Browns' cornerbacks
Brown worked to come back more explosive and he’ll look to top 1,500 yards in 2023.
A.J Brown toasts Lorenzo Burns press coverage at the LOS, cuts inward and Jalen Hurts delivers a dart to Brown for TD completion at end of 7v7 red zone period. Dallas Goedert also had TD the play before.

Eagles scuffle
First scuffle of joint practices: Sydney Brown laid out Demetric Felton blocking after a Reed Blankenship interception near the Cleveland sideline. Several Browns players took exception and scrum ensued.
Btw, Blankenship has now pulled off interceptions in consecutive practices.

After being outmuscled on Monday, Philadelphia was much more intense on both sides of the football leading to the expected scuffle.
Browns undrafted rookie Thomas Greaney traded slaps with Derek Barnett after Barnett hit him twice post-whistle. The Eagles defense spent most of that drill looking for extracurriculars.

James Bradberry playing inside
Sean Desai is trying new schemes and formation, including moving his All-Pro cornerbacks around.
Eagles have utilized James Bradberry as a nickel CB in practices against the Browns.
