Gameday has arrived.

Here are some notes on the line, the announcers, injuries, matchups and more as the Eagles prepare to open the season at 1 p.m. against the Browns in Cleveland.

DeMeco Ryans was sold as a three-down linebacker when he came to Philadelphia in a trade with Houston back in March. He would not only bring you Pro Bowl play every down, but also possessed wisdom and leadership qualities that would ensure the men surrounding him were in position as well.

Coming into this week it appeared that, despite some concerns with his unspectacular preseason, Ryans would be both in the base and the nickel packages. Then word began to leak out that Jamar Chaney was working in at nickel alongside Mychal Kendricks.

“Everybody’s going to have an opportunity to play,” said Andy Reid. “I saw where some guys wrote about the linebackers, they’re all going to play and they all have a role in one phase or the other of the game and we’ll go.”

No Lombardi trophies as of yet, but the salary cap dominance continues.

According to Pro Football Talk, the Eagles have the most cap space in the NFL with a cool $21.4 million. They are followed by the Jaguars ($20.7), Chiefs ($14.5), Titans ($14.1) and Bills ($13.6). Here is the full list.

Here’s the latest roundup of what the national media are saying about the Eagles.

A look at the injury report for the Week 1 matchup between the Eagles and Browns:

 All six of the notable injuries that Michael Vick has sustained since the beginning of last season have come in the pocket. The broken ribs against the Cardinals; the bruised hand against the Giants; the concussion against the Falcons; the finger injury against the 49ers; and the thumb and rib injuries this preseason all happened inside the numbers.

It is the main counterpoint to those suggesting Vick is being reckless. His high-wire stylings in the open field is not the issue. All the knockout blows have come from traditional play.

Missed in this debate is the fact that it is Vick’s game within the pocket that has proven reckless. It is the movements within the cage that are deciding success or failure, big hit or safe escape, smooth connect or batted ball. It was his response to pressure that helped put him in the sights of the Patriots’ Jermaine Cunningham, and led to his hand banging off the back of Jason Kelce‘s helmet.

We lead off today with a look at the Eagles’ tight end situation going into Week 1.

Let’s start with Brent Celek. He couldn’t have finished the 2011 season any stronger. Celek averaged just 19.2 yards per game in the first six last season, but that number jumped to 69.6 in the final 10.

Andy Reid played coy with the media when asked if there has been a change in the depth chart behind LeSean McCoy.

“Ah, no,” he said.

So the backup to McCoy is Dion Lewis or Bryce Brown?

“Well, we’ll see. I can’t give you guys everything. We get to have one secret or two,” he replied.
