Eagles-Colts: Highlights and notes from joint practice
The Eagles and Colts gathered for one joint practice before Thursday night’s preseason finale at Lincoln Financial Field.
The session was supposed to feature two dynamic quarterbacks, powerful offensive lines, and defensive standouts on both sides of the football.
It ended early after Jason Kelce and Zaire Franklin were involved in a scuffle that led to an entire two-team brawl.
With both teams off until Thursday’s preseason finale, here are highlights and notes from the practice.

Jalen Carter is a dawg
Wow! Jalen Carter stripped ball out of Richardson’s hands, Colts started pushing him, then Barnett (surprise!) came in and flags started flying. #Eagles
— Martin Frank (@Mfranknfl) August 22, 2023
The rookie from Georgia is down for some intense back and forth and joined Derek Barnett in bringing the business to the Colts.
Much earlier, Derek Barnett and Jalen Carter were mixing it up with some Colts offensive players and jawing continued well after. https://t.co/uwgaPhfiSy

DeVonta Smith is having a day against Darrell Baker Jr. Smith just made two spectacular catch during 11v11. He made a toe-tapping grab after he juggled the ball momentarily before securing it at the sideline. Smith concludes the period with back shoulder TD catch from Hurts
