Nick Sirianni confirms Eagles-Patriots joint practices in Foxboro
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed at the NFL owners meetings that the Eagles will travel to Foxboro for joint practices with the New England Patriots ahead of the preseason.
The Eagles love the idea of a joint practice session, and this summer's version of the events could become must-see television. ESPN's Mike Reiss initially reported that the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots were discussing holding joint practices in Foxborough this summer. The two head coaches have had preliminary talks, with the sessions potentially tied to a preseason matchup.
The practices would carry added intrigue amid ongoing trade rumors involving A. J. Brown and the Patriots.
At the NFL owners' meetings on Monday, Sirianni confirmed as much, adding intrigue and building toward training camp. The Eagles and Patriots will hold joint practices in Foxboro, Nick Sirianni confirmed. @MikeReiss was all over it.

The joint practices would take on even greater significance if Brown potentially joining the Patriots in early June becomes a real possibility. At least two teams — the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams — in recent weeks discussed trading for Brown, whose frustrations in Philadelphia were a running subplot of the Eagles' 2025 season.
