Summary
Marcus Jones picked off Jalen Hurts twice in Thursday’s second Patriots-Eagles joint practice, including one return that would have gone for a touchdown if the play had not been blown dead.
Those takeaways capped a strong two-day stretch for New England’s defense, with Hurts throwing five interceptions across the two joint sessions as Philadelphia works through a new offensive scheme.
A.J. Brown still starred for the Patriots offense, beating Quinyon Mitchell for three touchdowns in 2-on-2 work after opening with a one-handed red-zone catch in 1-on-1s.
Milton Williams and Cory Durden added pressure up front with would-be sacks, while Elijah Ponder also flashed as the public portion of Patriots camp closed.
With both joint practices finished, attention now shifts to Saturday’s preseason game at Gillette Stadium, scheduled for 7 p.m. ET.
