Get ready for a battle. Of the quarterback variety.
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly has made it very clear that he fully expects a bit of a competition for the starting spot under center this year, declaring an open competition for the job ahead of training camp. But after trading away Nick Foles, a second-round pick and $13 million in salary for one year of Sam Bradford on the roster, it’s an interesting move for Kelly to open up his starting quarterback job to the masses – and Mark Sanchez. And possibly Tim Tebow.
Also, keep an eye on Bradford and his injury-prone knees. The former St. Louis Rams quarterback has battled ACL problems throughout his career and missed all of last season after re-injuring the ligament in a preseaon game.
The Eagles open camp on August 2 at the NovaCare Complex in Philadelphia with only two practices open to the public, the fewest since Chip Kelly took over coaching reigns. Check out the full schedule below.
