The Philadelphia Eagles are set to showcase their key players in Friday's preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens. According to reports by Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Eagles are planning to give their starters some game time, potentially for a series, in the exhibition contest. However, the duration could be adjusted depending on the flow of the game, with the possibility of the full unit seeing additional playing time. Additionally, select starters may receive extra snaps throughout the matchup.

Head coach Nick Sirianni emphasized the importance of tailoring playing time based on the unique circumstances of each year. In his Wednesday press conference, Sirianni explained that factors such as the timing of the game and the number of practices prior to it, among other considerations, are taken into account when determining playing time for the starters. He acknowledged that while there are general philosophies in place, they are constantly evolving and subject to change.

Last year, the Eagles opted not to field their starters in the preseason. However, with two new coordinators - Kellen Moore on offense and Vic Fangio on defense - now leading the team in 2024, there seems to be a desire to provide valuable game experience for the starters. This could prove instrumental in establishing team chemistry and adapting to the new coaching schemes.

The kickoff for the Eagles-Ravens preseason game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET at M&T Bank Stadium. Fans and football enthusiasts can expect to see the Philadelphia Eagles' starters taking the field, as the team looks to make an impact in their preseason debut under the guidance of Sirianni, Moore, and Fangio.
