The Eagles are in sunny Miami for two days of joint practice sessions with the Miami Dolphins, and the intensity should be immense with star power on both sides.

Jalen Hurts will take the field with Tua Tagovailoa again as both former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterbacks look to remove the questionable labels surrounding them as they enter the most important seasons of their professional careers.

Rookie head coach Mike McDaniel offers some familiarity after his time with the 49ers, and the matchups with Jonathan Gannon offer a unique look at innovation on both sides of the football.
