The Philadelphia Eagles will travel to São Paulo, Brazil, for their season opener against the Green Bay Packers at Corinthians Arena on Friday night. The Eagles, who ended last season with a disappointing finish, are looking to bounce back with new additions like running back Saquon Barkley. The game will feature the Eagles in a unique uniform combination of black helmets, white jerseys, and black pants. Despite losing veteran leader Jason Kelce to retirement, the team retained most of its core players and added key talents, including defensive end Bryce Huff and rookie Cooper DeJean.

The Eagles have ruled out linebacker Devin White for their season opener in São Paulo, Brazil. White, who won't be traveling with the team, will be replaced by Nakobe Dean and Zack Baun as starting linebackers, with backups Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Oren Burks, and Ben VanSumeren. White, a former Buccaneer with a Super Bowl win and Pro Bowl appearance, will focus on rehabbing for a return in Week 2 against Atlanta.
