The Eagles are preparing for a quick trip to London to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend. They will have a regular practice week in Philadelphia before departing on Friday night, arriving Saturday morning for a brief walkthrough and rest before the game. Head coach Nick Sirianni has focused on optimizing travel strategies throughout his tenure, considering factors such as weather and fatigue.
This will be the Eagles’ first international game since 2024 and their first in London since 2018. Sirianni explained that their travel schedule was meticulously crafted to give the team the best chance to succeed, despite concerns about jet lag. Past experiences with travel, including a 10-hour flight for a game in Brazil, informed their current strategy, which he believes balances practice needs and travel efficiency.
