The Eagles are off this week after earning the lone bye in the NFC following their 22-16 win over the Giants in the season finale.

The team didn’t take the entire week off and is returning to practice for two sessions on Thursday and Friday.

There are injury concerns to monitor, two assistants are being pursued for potential head coaching jobs, and an offense that needs to regain efficiency in the running game.

With preparation for the divisional round underway, here’s the latest buzz from the NovaCare Complex.

Philadelphia voted as a team to have padded practices during the Wild Card bye week in 2018 under then-head coach, Doug Pederson.

Fast forward to now, and a vast majority of the veterans still remaining are taking a similar approach under Sirianni.

It’s the bye week, so there’s no concern, but Philadelphia had two key players not practice at all on Thursday.

The All-Pro right tackle didn’t practice but did some work off to the side with the trainers as we sit some nine days away from a potential divisional-round matchup.
