The Eagles kick off their preseason schedule Thursday in a match-up against the Tennessee Titans at Lincoln Financial Field, but don’t expect to see much of Carson Wentz on the field.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson hasn’t said how much playing time starters like Wentz will see, but told reporters “we have a lot of bodies we want to see in this game.” So it’s safe to say Birds fans will get a healthy diet of Nate Sudfeld and Cody Kessler behind center tonight.

Fans will probably notice a new voice in the Eagles’ preseason booth as former NFL offensive lineman turned broadcaster Ross Tucker will fill the void vacated by the departure of Mike Mayock. Calling the game alongside Tucker will be play-by-play announcer Scott Graham and analyst Dave Spadaro.

“When I was five or six, I dreamt about playing for the Eagles," Tucker said. “I never got a chance to play for them, but this is kind of the next best thing.”
