Daily News | Eagles-Browns analysis: Birds win without their starters, as Cam Jurgens and Devon Allen stand out
*Other players who did not play due to injury: WR Greg Ward , TE Grant Calcaterra LB Christian Elliss
For what it’s worth, a few other starting quarterbacks did play during their preseason Week 2 games, including Bills’ Josh Allen and Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes. It also should be noted that the Eagles are traveling to Miami on Tuesday, which will mark consecutive weeks of joint practices with the Browns and Dolphins. The Eagles will play the Dolphins in their preseason finale, scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium.
Gainwell, in particular, was efficient. He was responsible for multiple first downs, including an impressive chain-mover on third-and-13, in which the second-year tailback executed a sidestep juke in open space en route to picking up the necessary yardage. During Gainwell’s rookie season, he recorded first downs on 33 of his 101 touches. His efficiency is a major reason why Sirianni entrusted Gainwell during high-pressure situations, including goal line and two-minute packages.
On multiple occasions, the Eagles used Jurgens as a pulling blocker on rushing plays, and he exuded extreme effort in getting to the next levels and laying out blocks. During the team’s first rushing play, Jurgens pulled to his right and bulldozed Browns safety D’Anthony Bell straight into the turf as Scott picked up a smooth 13 yards.
