The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for their season opener against the Green Bay Packers, aiming for a rebound after a disappointing end to the 2023 season. With several players potentially in their final season with the team, veteran cornerback James Bradberry faces a challenging start as he recovers from a lower leg injury. In a positive development, left tackle Jordan Mailata has been named a captain for the first time, joining a group that includes well-established leaders like Jalen Hurts and Brandon Graham. The Eagles' captaincy reflects a shift in leadership following the retirements of long-tenured players Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox. The team is focusing on blending experienced leaders with emerging talents to maintain a competitive edge in the upcoming season. Their first game will take place in São Paulo, Brazil, marking an exciting start to the NFL season.
