Eagles

Eagles HC Nick Siranni said the Cowboys still have several threats defensively that they have to prepare for after they traded LB Micah Parsons to Green Bay.

“We have so much going on here,” Sirianni said, via PFT. “We’re getting ready to play the Cowboys, so he’s in your thoughts for game planning, but they still have guys that we have to prepare for. They have Kenny Clark, who’s a really good player, and they have good depth at that defensive end group. You don’t get too wrapped up in that except for some of the things you’re doing with the game plan. But, also understanding that they have a lot of good players over there and getting ready for those guys and shifting your attention to that.”
