Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Jets Live Tracker: Week 4 Preseason
Get the latest updates from tonight’s preseason Week 4 matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets.
The preseason finale between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets is set to take place tonight at 7:00 p.m. Eastern in MetLife Stadium. The Jets are hoping to leave this game without more injuries as over the past few weeks, they’ve already been hit with the injury bug.
Final 53-man rosters are set to be finalized no later than Sat, Aug 2, 2017, by 4:00 p.m. Eastern. Plenty of players will do their best to prove their worth to decision makers that have some tough choices to make heading into the weekend.
At this point in time, the Jets would be wise in playing most of their veterans, especially on offense, for a good chunk of tonight’s game. This is easily a dress rehearsal for the regular season since it will be upon the football world shortly. Looking at the schedule, the Jets have a rough one this year and might as well give their first-team offense a plethora of reps since it hasn’t been clicking at all for most of the preseason.

If this were a regular season game, Lachlan Edwards’ 525 punt yards would be the 24th most punt yards in a game in NFL history. #Jets
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) September 1, 2017
Lachlan Edwards has more punts (11) than Hackenberg has completions (10), Powell has rushing yards (5), or all #Jets WRs have catches (5)
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) September 1, 2017
Christian Hackenberg is 10 of 22 for 105 yards and a touchdown, by the way.

Bowles is challenging a call with 3 minutes left in the final preseason game. Unforgivable

Unless something unforeseen happens, #Jets won't play Bryce Petty tonight, it appears. No reason to play him on that sprained knee.

This preseason, Christian Hackenberg is averaging a sack every 8.6 drop backs. Nine total in four games. #Jets

Another sack for Hackenberg. Fumbled the ball, too. #Jets will punt.
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) September 1, 2017
Hackenberg-led #Jets have now gone 3-&-out on five straight drives.

#Jets QB Christian Hackenberg has been sacked eight times this preseason. McCown and Petty sacked twice (combined).
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) September 1, 2017
Jordan Leggett not known as a good blocker. Not you know why. #Jets
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 1, 2017
Hackenberg still at QB for the Jets. Jalin Marshall finally in the game. Faces 4-game suspension. On the roster bubble. #Jets
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 1, 2017
Newest Jets S & former Eagle Terrence Brooks closes fast, stops RB Byron Marshall for no gain on 3rd&1 to force PHI punt.

End of the first half: Jets 13, Eagles 3. … Thirty minutes of exhibition football left in the summer. Then it gets real.

TE Chris Gragg (knee/ankle) is doubtful to return. #PHIvsNYJ

#Jets will have to settle for a field goal on Christian Hackenberg's third drive tonight. Fizzled out in red zone.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) September 1, 2017
Chris Gragg, a roster bubble tight end, appears to have sustained a pretty nasty leg injury, after taking a hit. #Jets
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) September 1, 2017
Kony Ealy with the strip sack. He could win a job tonight #nyj
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 1, 2017
New-#Jets DE Kony Ealy with a sack-fumble. Great swim move to get there. Made it look easy.

Really nice throw and really nice catch. Christian Hackenberg to Austin Seferian-Jenkins for a 12-yard touchdown. #Jets

Hackenberg to Seferian-Jenkins for a 12-yard TD #nyj
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) August 31, 2017
Some impressive running by Elijah McGuire has #Jets in position for some rare points on a Christian Hackenberg-led drive.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) August 31, 2017
Nice run there from McGuire. He seems like a pretty good one-cut back. When he puts his foot in ground, he can cut up field with force.
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 31, 2017
Eagles tie it 3-3.
— Gang Green Nation (@GangGreenNation) August 31, 2017
The Jets defense has all backups now. Recently-acquired DE Kony Ealy getting a long look. #Jets

#Jets go three plays and out on Christian Hackenberg's first drive. His 23rd drive of preseason. Two have resulted in points for Jets.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) August 31, 2017
Josh McCown's night is done. He finishes 6 of 8 for 57 yards. 10 points in 3 preseason drives. Buffalo on deck. #PHIvsNYJ

Second-team offense, led by Christian Hackenberg, enters the game #nyj
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) August 31, 2017
#Jets still have starting defense out there, with the exception of the line.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) August 31, 2017
Looks like Josh McCown's night is over, as Christian Hackenberg warms up. McCown tonight: 6 for 8, 57 yards, 14 snaps. #Jets
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) August 31, 2017
McCown: two series, 14 plays. That's enough. Send in Hackenberg. #Jets
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) August 31, 2017
12-play drive ends with a 28-yd Catanzaro FG.#Jets 3, #Eagles 0. 4:31 left in the 1st Q. #PHIvsNYJ pic.twitter.com/VFCMYUA35f

Josh McCown, shaken up and off field for 1 play, returns to complete red zone drive to Chandler Catanzaro's 28-yd FG. Jets lead 3-0.
— Randy Lange (@rlangejets) August 31, 2017
#Jets' first field goal tonight (28 yards) goes to Chandler Catanzaro. He makes it. Jets getting look at Thomas Hennessy at long snapper.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) August 31, 2017
Bilal Powell has six yards rushing on six attempts. Just no push from OL. #jets
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 31, 2017
Perfect screen there. Got the ball to Powell with three linemen in front of him. First down on third & long. #jets
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 31, 2017
Josh McCown, after surviving an injury scare in the fourth preseason game, is going back into the game. Missed one play. #Jets
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) August 31, 2017
Christian Hackenberg is now in at QB. #PHIvsNYJ
— New York Jets (@nyjets) August 31, 2017
McCown got crushed in the ribs by Joe Walker.
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 31, 2017
Josh McCown is hurt. And no, that's not a joke. He's down.
— Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) August 31, 2017
#Jets mixing and matching receivers. In three-receiver set just now, went with Thompkins, Stewart, Hansen.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) August 31, 2017
#Jets offense needs to be able to get something going here. Again, it’s the third-string #Eagles defense.
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 31, 2017
Even by preseason finale standards, this is one ridiculously empty building. pic.twitter.com/PM6K8PxJK8
— Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) August 31, 2017
Dylan Donahue got the start at OLB across from Josh Martin. Marcus Williams inside on 3rd down. #PHIvsNYJ
— Eric Allen (@eallenjets) August 31, 2017
In addition to Leonard Williams, looks like Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson will get night off. Steve McLendon, too. #Jets
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) August 31, 2017
#Jets WRs probably most noteworthy thus far. Stewart clearly climbing depth chart, and coaches seem to trust Thompkins more than Peake
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 31, 2017
According to noted #Eagles scribe @EliotShorrParks, the gents from Philadelphia put their third-string defense out there to start tonight.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) August 31, 2017
The #Jets have a combination of starters and backups in on defense. Kony Ealy, Lawrence Thomas & Claude Pelon on DL. Starters elsewhere
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) August 31, 2017
A well-rested Josh McCown leads the Jets to two yards on the first series, and a well-earned three-and-out.
— Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) August 31, 2017
#Jets open with Brandon Shell at right tackle, Kelvin Beachum at left tackle, Wesley Johnson at center. This is the starting OL, as of now.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) August 31, 2017
Josh McCown will start the game at QB. #PHIvsNYJ

Bowles tells CBS 2 that McCown will start, along with rest of first-team offense. #Jets
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) August 31, 2017
#Jets will receive. Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg have baseball caps on, so it looks like Josh McCown will start.

McCown, Anderson, Bruce Carter and Wilkerson are the captains. #Jets
