snaps with mark sanchez. but i also expect bradford to take it nice and slow. why? last year he went through the same thing with that surgically repaired left knee and he lasted just 37 snaps. 21 pass attempts with the saint louis rams and he reinjured that knee. and remember, this is different from last year. how? he doesn't have any guaranteed money beyond 2015. when the eagles take the field down at novacare, it's been an unprecedented tear it up and rip it apart situation for the philadelphia eagles and chip kelly. we have 35 new players on their roster. they had 10 new starters. that's the most of any team in the nfl in 2015 and it's the most i've ever seen coming off a 10 win season and i've been covering the league for 23 years. >> ♪♪ i want you to pay attention to two position battles during training camp.

cornerback opposite byron maxwell and safety opposite malcolm jenkins. doesn't matter who plays quarterback for this football team. chip kelly bill davis as defensive coordinator the the defensive backs coach they must improve the eagles pass defense. this is a passing league. they pro proved that last year. if they don't improve in pass defense this league is going nowhere in 2015. for "action news," i'm sal paolantonio, espn. >> to baseball. the phillies are off but the cole hamels trade rumors are very much still on. two teams are said to be the front runners to land the left too. espn's jayson stark reports the rangers and dodgers are likely landing spots. both teams had scouts in at the tend dance during hamels' no-hitter. the cubs and red sox are also said to be in the mix. hamels is slated to play for thursday. also today hamels was named a national league co-player of the week. and finally tonight triple plays at the major league

level are rare but not so much when the base runners don't have a clue. blue jays and mariners yesterday. ryan goings bounces one to first base. kevin pillar caught on first is caught in a run down. ferrera makes a break for home. they ends up an third place. pillar is out, ferrera is safe until he unexpectdly gets off the bag. he's out too. here's the kicker. toronto ends up losing the game by one run. >> like little league. >> all right. cecily tynan with the accuweather forecast when we continue in just a moment. >> ♪♪

that heat and humidity so definitely a good idea if you have respiratory problems to limit your time outdoors because it will be unhealthy for sensitive groups who have respiratory or heart problems. in the meantime we're looking at that heat and humidity building as we head towards thursday and i really think thursday will be the most oppressive day of the heat wave. we're looking at a heat index thursday early in the afternoon tong 100 along the high. 95 corridor and areas south and east. if you remember a week ago sunday our heat index reached 105 so it probably won't be quite that bad. when you get heat indices above 100 it's dangerous. right now it's muggy and warm. 84 degrees in philadelphia, allentown, reading also 84, wilmington 81, millville 81. that sea breeze really cooling things off at the shore. sea isle city currently 76 and the boardwalk in atlantic city 78 degrees. satellite6 along with action radar showing most of our shower and thunderstorm

activity happened in the early morning hours. that's moved on. we have that one cell in mercer county but generally tonight it will be a rain free night t it will be partly cloudy but it's going to be a warm and humid night. 73 degrees in philadelphia. 73 in millville. 69 -- or 69 in millville. allentown 75 many of 75. and reading 66 degrees. tomorrow temperatures up into the 90's. 92 degrees, humid probably not quite as humid as today. but that real steam bath arrives on wednesday and thursday. this is when our high will be up in the mid 90's. 96 degrees on wednesday. if we hit that that's the hottest day so far this year. our afternoon heat index around 100 and then likely above 100 on thursday ahead of a cold front and behind that system it won't be quite as oppressive on friday. down the shore tomorrow, it will be sunny and muggy. that afternoon sea breeze, though knocking temperatures down into the low 80's. beach haven 82. the same for atlantic city and

ocean city. the ocean temperature 74 degrees. rehoboth and bethany reaching a high of 84. so the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, it's a hot one. hazy, hot and humid tomorrow. 92 degrees. we bump it up to 96 on wednesday. the heat index close to 100. thursday 94 but the heat index likely just above 100. some afternoon thunderstorms with a weak cold front behind that front it won't be quite as oppressive on friday. not quite as humid. a high near 90. if we hit 89, the heat wave will officially be over. however, the heat builds over the week. 92 degrees on saturday. sunday a summer sis owe sizzle 92 and monday not much relief with a high around 90 degrees. so really the worst of it appears to be thursday but this heat wave could last for more than a week. >> let's get to february already. >> let's skip fall.
