Eagles-Patriots snap counts: Joshua Weru records first NFL sack in second-ever football game of his life

Official snap counts for the Philadelphia Eagles’ preseason loss to the New England Patriots show how the roster picture is shaping up. Jake Majors started at right guard for 18 snaps before moving to center; the report frames him as on the roster bubble. On offense, Quez Watkins had three targets without a catch. Running back Carson Steele logged 11 carries for 33 yards and contributed as a receiver, leading the Eagles with seven targets for six catches, 84 yards and one touchdown. The Eagles dressed only three running backs—Steele, Will Shipley and Ja’Quinden Jackson, who was hurt on the first play. The snap notes also touch on the QB2 competition between Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee, and highlight that Stone Smartt did not play on offense in the opener but was a key target in the second exhibition and remained active on special teams.
