PHILADELPHIA — A cloudy day oversaw the NovaCare Complex as the Philadelphia Eagles conducted the second of their three mandatory minicamp practices. Nick Sirianni had another quick session that lasted just over an hour, even practicing the new kickoff return during the middle of the session.
Big plays on offense have eluded the practices so far, but the secondary has been excellent throughout the two practices. The offense is still grasping the new system under Kellen Moore.

The battle for the No. 3 wide receiver spot is open, but Ross has done a good job despite being only in Philadelphia for a few weeks. A reliable target for Kenny Pickett, Ross made a one-handed catch on an out route in 7-on-7 and has been finding ways to get open despite good coverage from the defensive backs.
Ross is being more consistent on his route running and…
