Eagles edge Patriots in joint practice as Hurts scores two TDs
The Philadelphia Eagles edged the New England Patriots in a joint practice on August 20, 2026, in Foxborough, with quarterback Jalen Hurts rebounding from two early interceptions to finish with two touchdowns, while the Eagles' defense showed improved discipline, Bleeding Green Nation reported. The session was the second of two joint practices; the first, held on August 15, featured rookie quarterback Drake Maye leading New England's passing attack, according to Pats Pulpit. Earlier in August, the Patriots held a low-intensity joint practice with the Indianapolis Colts and opened their preseason with a 13-13 tie against them, as noted by Boston Sports Journal and Pats Pulpit.
