Browns WR Kaden Davis — 21.5 Receiving Yards
- A lot of receivers played in the Eagles Preseason Week 1 game, as 14 players in total saw at least one target, but Davis was the only one to find the end zone twice.
- He also built a nice rapport with rookie QB Shedeur Sanders and hauled in all three of his targets.
- Davis is fighting for a roster spot as he has spent most of his career on practice squads. It looks promising for him as he was on the field most of the Preseason Week 1 game
- Davis possesses above-average speed, and in 2022, he posted a 4.44 40-yard dash at the combine.
Eagles RB Will Shipley — 23.5 Rushing Yards
- Eagles RB Will Shipley led the Eagles’ rushing in the Preseason Week 1 against the Bengals with 7 carries for 48 yards.
- Shipley did not get a lot of opportunities in his rookie season because of the heavy usage by Saquon Barkley (his 345 carries led the league), so Shipley only had 30 carries for 82 yards in 2024.
- It looks like there will be a competition between Shipley and offseason acquisition A.J. Dillon as the primary backup to RB Saquon Barkley.
- Last week against the Bengals, Shipley got the first carries of the game, followed by Dillon.
- We could see the same situation in the Preseason Week 2; according to the Philadelphia Eagles depth chart, Shipley is listed as the RB2 behind Barkley.
Are Browns Starters Playing vs. Eagles?
The Browns are "hopeful" they will have rookie QB Dillon Gabriel starting under center for his debut, so long as he can play through a minor hamstring injury that makes him a game-time decision.
The Browns starting QB spot still looks to be open; it's a four-man race between Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders (out, oblique), Kenny Pickett (out, hamstring), and Joe Flacco — who won't play in the preseason and is the reportedly the clear QB1.
Reportedly, "not all, but a lot" of Browns starters will play in the preseason finale in Week 3, but most of the starters are expected to sit out vs. the Eagles.
Are Eagles Starters Playing vs. Browns?
With join practices with the Browns under their belt, the Super Bowl champs will rest their starers in NFL Preseason Week 2. Look for the Eagles to prioritize evaluating their rookies and young players as starts like Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and A.J. Brown all stay sidelined.
NBC Sports Philadelphia lists rookie RB Montrell Johnson, WR Darius Cooper, and WR Ainias Smith as players to watch on offense in NFL preseason Week 2 as the starters sit out.
