Kenny Pickett Ends Night With One Touchdown Pass

Kenny Pickett Ends Night With One Touchdown Pass

3 months ago

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett completed 14 of 22 passes for 89 yards and a touchdown, adding three carries for four yards in the Eagles' preseason opener. While it was rumored that the Philadelphia starters would see playing time during the preseason opener, the second-team unit started the game and played into the third quarter, led by the Eagles' offseason addition from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Without any starting receivers to throw to, the 26-year-old failed to throw for over 100 yards despite playing the entire first half and seeing snaps during the first drive of the second half. He was able to hit rookie running back Will Shipley for a seven-yard touchdown pass at the end of the first quarter. Pickett has received praise throughout the offseason but looked just as bland and was unable to complete big plays, something he struggled with in Pittsburgh last season. Luckily for him, there is no real competition for his spot as the No. 2 option for the Eagles, and he should see more playing time next week when the Eagles travel to New England next Thursday.
