The Eagles have the NFL’s best fan base and all you needed was one oepn training camp practice to show just how loyal franchise supporters can be.
Philadelphia final count at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday night went far over 50,000+ to watch the NFC Champions start preparation for their preseason opener.
The building was already buzzing after Howie Roseman went out and added two talented linebackers, signing Myles Jack and Zach Cunningham to bolster the weakest unit on a stacked roster.
The team has kept the gameplan under wraps this summer, as cameras were only allowed for individual drills and warmups.
With the Eagles now off until Tuesday, here are sights and sounds from the open practice.

Third-year DT Marlon Tuipulotu just terrorized Julian Good-Jones during 1-on-1s with a straight-up bullrush. Good-Jones, who has had a really good camp, ended up on his back.

Eagles offense in midseason form
#Eagles first-team O looks sharp in the first team session, with completions to each of the major receiving options and a jet sweep to DeVonta Smith.
They "scored" on a Jalen Hurts QB draw from three yards out, which feels unfair seeing as he's got the red jersey.

Trio of 1,000-yard receivers?
Goedert has previously talked about the Eagles having three 1,000-yard receivers in the same season.
First three plays of team today: Completion to A.J. Brown, completion to DeVonta Smith, completion to Dallas Goedert.
Fitting. #Eagles
