Breaking down the Eagles' tight ends

Eagles tight end James Casey did not play a snap with the starters during the first preseason game against the Patriots, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Brent Celek played all 21 snaps and was all over the place and from four of five formations either blocked or ran pass routes. He started eight plays lined up as a halfback. Four times he started from the traditional tight end spot to the left or right of the tackle. And he also lined up four times in the slot, three times split wide and twice he started in the backfield to the left of the quarterback in the shotgun.

The report said as much as rookie Zach Ertz will be a part of the offense, his development as a blocker will probably keep Celek as the No. 1 tight end.
