The Philadelphia Eagles practiced for two hours in New Orleans on Wednesday, with four players participating on a limited basis – defensive tackle Jalen Carter (illness), running back Kenneth Gainwell (concussion, knee), wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and defensive end Brandon Graham (elbow).

Speaking to the media, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said several times that the main theme was to “focus and refocus”.

“It’s not a normal week,” he said. “You want to keep it as normal as possible, but the times are different, the obligations are different. The game’s not normal either, so just focus and refocus. It’s a good prep for the game.”

As with the Chiefs, the practice structure was similar to a normal Wednesday during the regular season.

“For a lot of guys, this isn’t their first time here, which I think is really important,” said Sirianni. “I feel like our guys are locked in to what they need to do and are enjoying some time together.”

He added: “It’s just constantly coming back to controlling what you can control, which is what we’ve talked about all year, staying focused on your job.”
