The NFL preseason week 2 kicks off tonight in Foxboro, Massachusetts: It's Philadelphia Eagles vs. New England Patriots in a rematch of Super Bowl LII. You may recall that the Eagles beat the Patriots 41-33 in the Super Bowl earlier this year. Both teams enter this season with high expectations. The biggest questions in Philly revolve around the quarterback position, though Foles is able to play tonight and Carson Wentz is not. Good news for fans who like seeing the stars get action in preseason games. Starting quarterbacks Tom Brady (New England) and Nick Foles are expected to play, according to reports. These preseason games can be tricky to find on TV, but this one should be easy since it is on a major network.

Brady did not play in the first preseason game but the Boston Globe reports that he will play some tonight.<doc-sep>The Philadelphia Eagles are back in action tonight for their second game of the 2018 NFL preseason schedule. The Eagles are set to face the New England Patriots. Preseason games often lack meaningful story lines since the outcomes are meaningless but tonight’s game between the Eagles and the Patriots has a little more juice than normal. This is, after all, a “Super Bowl LII rematch” between the team that won the game (Eagles) and the team that lost the game (Patriots) earlier this year on February 4. It seems like both starting quarterbacks from that game will be making their preseason debuts tonight. Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles said he’s ready to go after missing the Eagles’ first preseason game with some neck soreness. Old man Tom Brady has had a sore back but said he expects to play on Thursday as well. Maybe Brady’s pain will conveniently flare up again when it comes time for him to shake Foles’ hand in congratulations for beating him in the Super Bowl. The starters for both teams will likely play about a quarter. During the Doug Pederson era, Philadelphia’s first team unit is averaging 23.5 snaps played in the second preseason game. Foles will get some good work in before Nate Sudfeld and the backups take over. Then we might see Joe Callahan under center late in the game. Although preseason football is mostly meaningless, the game will still be worth watching for the sake of determining roster battles. One key area is watch is how the Eagles handle the nickel corner position tonight. Avonte Maddox has taken first team reps in the slot for the past three days of training camp practice. Might the fourth-round rookie actually unseat Sidney Jones there? We’ll be watching that and more in tonight’s tilt. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the game.
