Hurts Finishes Strong as Hunt Turns Heads in Eagles-Patriots Day 2 Practice

Day 2 of the Eagles–Patriots joint practices in Foxborough featured a strong late red-zone drive for the Eagles led by Jalen Hurts (connects with Goedert, Wicks and Brown for a TD and a two-point conversion) after a day of uneven moments. A.J. Brown won several red-zone reps against Quinyon Mitchell, while Kelee Ringo endured a rough outing. Rookie Jalyx Hunt stood out with a turnover near the end and drew praise from Patriots reporters. The run game was slower than Day 1 amid chippy conflict, and Eli Stowers flashed in spots but also showed some rough reps. The defense tightened later, with Woolen and Baun making plays as Hunt supplied the day’s highlight with a one-handed interception near the end.

Murray's late strike to Jefferson caps uneven Vikings-Ravens practice

The Ravens pressured Murray early and several passes sailed incomplete, underscoring ongoing work in pass protection and rhythm. Minnesota also pushed to improve the run game, with coaches urging more attack mode, while JJ McCarthy had a mixed showing and rookie Demond Claiborne flashed explosiveness before a fumble. Overall, the session showed both the ceiling for big plays and the work still needed to refine the offense.
