Philadelphia Eagles hint at potential Lincoln Financial Field changes after NFL survey leaks
Lincoln Financial Field has been home to the Eagles since 2003 when the team completed its move from Veterans Stadium, but after winning the franchise's second Lombardi Trophy this past season owner Jeffrey Lurie apparently wants to give fans more in the future.
Recently, the organization sent out a survey to NFL fans discussing upgrades they might want to see at The Linc, as well as the possibility of a "brand new stadium" that could rival others like the Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium and SoFi Stadium, where the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams play their games.
Of the options that fans received in the survey, the most interesting was whether or not Eagles supporters would entertain the idea of the team playing under a dome or canopy - similar to what the Chargers and Rams have.
Lurie and the Eagles always try to stay on top of keeping their players happy, which has resulted in several major contract extensions in recent months, however, it's always important to keep the fans happy as well.
During the most recent NFL Players Association report card that became public, Philadelphia had one of the highest average grades across all categories, including owner, training facility, food/cafeteria and more.

Brian Schottenheimer ends Cowboys' practice early after fights and makes the team run as punishment
OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — When the Dallas Cowboys wouldn't stop fighting, coach Brian Schottenheimer made them run. During a noticeably fraught practice in what has been an aggressive training camp, Schottenheimer stepped in Wednesday after a heated red-zone drill led to the third fight of the day. The new coach pulled the team together for a lengthy and expletive-filled speech before sending players back out to start running sideline to sideline. Following the punishing sprints, Schottenheimer brought the team back together for a second address before he ended practice early. 'Basically, we just have to understand that Dallas isn't on the schedule, so we're nobody's enemies,' offensive lineman Nate Thomas said. 'We have to make sure that we're taking care of each other, but also getting the good work in because we have some guys down right now, and we have to understand that we need these reps. So we can't go out here and start fighting each other just because somebody did a little extra pushing or whatever the case may be.' Schottenheimer, a first-time head coach, has tried to balance competing aims during camp. He wants physical, high-energy sessions that will allow the offensive and defensive fronts to develop after the Cowboys struggled in both areas last season. At the same time, Schottenheimer is stressing accountability, an area wide receiver CeeDee Lamb said the team has lacked at times in the past. 'It's been a while, but I feel like that was really necessary,' Lamb said after being asked about the last time he had been part of a practice where the whole team had been punished that way. 'I honestly like what he's doing because we need discipline. We need to be able to go through that line. I'm saying we need to have that, that availability towards the team and then that aggressiveness at the same time, to be able to be as mad and fight between the whistles, and then as soon as the (play is) done, like, we going to line it up again.' The Cowboys were 29th in the NFL penalties committed and 28th in giveaways last season, when they went 7-10 under then-coach Mike McCarthy. ___ AP NFL:

Lions and Chargers have high expectations as they open the NFL preseason in the Hall of Fame game
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Fifteen wins. No. 1 seed. Super Bowl betting favorites. The Detroit Lions fell way short last season, going one-and-done in the playoffs after having the best regular season in franchise history. They still have a loaded roster stacked with talent and plenty of unfinished business. The Lions kick off their quest for their first Super Bowl title when they take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night in the Hall of Fame game, which opens the NFL's preseason schedule. The Chargers are also coming off a season that ended with a loss in their playoff opener, a wild-card game against Houston. But it was a different vibe in Los Angeles where Jim Harbaugh came in and led a six-win improvement. Harbaugh, who led Michigan to a national championship before leaving for the NFL, guided the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl in his second season in 2012. Can he do it again with the Chargers? They haven't won any titles since capturing the 1963 AFL championship. Expectations are high for both teams but it's a long road to the Vince Lombardi trophy. It starts in the exhibition opener, two days ahead of the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony. 'It's a new season, it's a new beginning,' Lions coach Dan Campbell said as he enters his fifth season in charge. 'You understand what that road looks like and there's going to be nothing easy about it. But I think it's — every year you do this and you just realize, 'Hey man, just get in.' Win this division — that's always going to be the goal. Find a way to win your division because now you're automatically in and then once you're in, it's the matchup. And don't worry about the — OK, maybe we have to go on the road, so be it, or if something happens. 'You take your best unit, you put your best practice that you can together, find the guys that you're going to use to try to go win that game and then let it ride. No, I'm still as enthusiastic as ever. I know these guys are. There's a price to be paid to get yourself back into the dance, back into the tournament, and that will never change and if we let that slide at all, then we're going to be sitting here at home in January and that's not what we want.' Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, Penei Sewell and the rest of Detroit's star-studded offense won't see any action against Los Angeles. Hendon Hooker and Kyle Allen will play quarterback for the Lions as they battle to be Jared Goff's backup. Justin Herbert and the Chargers' veterans also will watch from the sideline. Trey Lance will start at quarterback for Los Angeles. Lance, the 25-year-old third overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, is on his third team after stops in San Francisco and Dallas. 'He's had a heck of a camp,' Harbaugh said. 'I just want to get Trey Lance game experience. With his career and then in college, he doesn't have as much as most guys.' Rookie DJ Uiagalelei, who signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent, is scheduled to play the second half. Veteran Taylor Heinicke will serve as the emergency third quarterback. Rookie running back Omarion Hampton, selected by Los Angeles 22nd overall and wide receiver Tre Harris, a second-round pick, are expected to play. But Detroit's top two draft picks, defensive tackle Tyleik Williams and guard Tate Ratledge, aren't scheduled to play. The game features the debut of Detroit's two new coordinators. OC John Morton replaced Ben Johnson, who left to coach Chicago. DC Kelvin Sheppard took over for Aaron Glenn, who went to coach the New York Jets. 'I've said this before, it hurts to lose two guys that, man, have been here from the beginning, have a lot of trust and faith in,' Campbell said. 'There's a lot of communication that goes that's not even said because once you get to that, you understand each other. A look, a nod, body demeanor says it all. And that's just a little bit of what we have to gain together between myself, Johnny Morton and Shepp. But that takes a minute, it takes time. We'll get it, it'll come. That's what practice is about, that's what preseason games early in the year, all of that. We'll be good.' ___ AP NFL:
