The Philadelphia Eagles officially activated 21-day practice windows for Brandon Brooks (!) and Davion Taylor on Wednesday afternoon. Of course, there are only several days left in the Eagles’ 2020 season.

The Eagles could look a lot different next season. With several veterans likely to be cut and a potential draft pick in the top 10, the front office already has decided which players will stay and which players will be sent packing after a disappointing season that failed to deliver a postseason berth even in the NFC East, the NFL’s weakest division.
