not me, sam bradford is that he can't stay healthy and his completion percentage but eagles quarterback feels great and offensive quarter coordinator pat shurmur says as far as completions it takes two to tango. bradford feels great and go figure his health seems to be the least of the concerns out there. it's the others who people are concerned about. >> forget about that but getting back to you and your baseball skills, if you want to see that video it is still on my facebook page just saying. love you jeff. love you jim. talking about sam bradford yes he looked great today especially in the red soap. really poised. made some great decisions out there and yeah he's healthy. the guy you have to worry about kiko alonzo who is still out with that concussion and what about demarco murray? this is a bit concerning. murray was back from the illness that kept him out yesterday but he didn't do much of anything out there today. neither did mychal kendricks or jack ertz held out with unspecified injuries. with no murray the heavy load at running back went to the

forgotten man ryan matthews. expect him to play a larger role in this offense than you think. he was a former first rounds pick. matthews took reps returning kicks for the first time ever. he sales he doesn't care about the fact he's playing second fiddle to murray. he's enjoying his time out here. >> like i said everything is fast tempo and really from one session to another and you keep going until the practice is over. your heart rate is up. you're getting in shape and i think that's the best thing for us right now is to hit that first game running. >> he's a real solid sturdy guy. he's -- i wouldn't call him a downhill runner but i think because he has really good vision and he catches the ball well and he does a good job in pass protection so we're glad to have him. >> reporter: brandon graham says he wants to have two sacks per game this year. it was pointed out that would be nine and a half more sacks

than the nfl record. he says yes that's what i want to do. let's hope he can pull that off. jaime apody channel6 "action news." sure hands back to you. >> thank you jamie. love the confidence of brandon graham and jim and you. he's back. chase utley will come off the disabled list tonight and is expected to play in san diego for the first time in more than six weeks after battling a lingering ankle issue. well, utley admits he feels as good as he has felt all season. that doesn't mean we'll see him every night. he doesn't sound like chase utley is an everyday player for the phillies anymore. >> try to get him in there four days a week if i can. you know, i might put chase at first base. i'll look at matchups when i get them and go from there and we got to get him at bats and i'll do the best i can to try to do that. >> aaron nola on the mound tonight. finally if you've ever looked through the guinness book of world records you may have come across some bizarre

75 degrees. and dewpoints are pretty low. this time of the year you get dewpoints below 60 degrees it's a very dry air mass with winds generally out of the northeast, out of canada and our dewpoints will remain on the low side right through the weekend. so, we're looking at seasonable temperatures and low humidity. satellite6 along with action radar showing the clouds cleared out very quickly in philadelphia this morning. they're still lingering though near atlantic city and dover and we do have a few high thin clouds moving in across the poconos. these clouds all associated with a low pressure that's finally moving off the coast of virginia. it's going to be intensifying as it mover to the northeast. it won't bring any rain to our region but it will bring some lingering clouds down the shore and also a risk of some rip currents. you do really want to be careful if you're on the beaches this weekend. next 12 hours though for this friday night mostly clear and seasonable, 59 degrees in the cooler suburbs, 68 degrees for center city. so a great night for sleeping and tomorrow we'll see a good amount of sunshine.

this low pressure down to the south will bring a few morning clouds down the shore but generally with this high pressure bringing us winds out of the northeast from canada, we're looking at mostly sunny skies, low humidity and you like today's temperatures, you'll like tomorrow way high of 87 degrees. on sunday still looking pretty nice, that front will bring us rain on monday night and tuesday. that will spread a few high thin clouds so more of a filtered sunshine sky and again a high of 87 degrees. if you are down the shore again, you definitely want to listen to the lifeguards. don't swim when they're off duty with those rip currents. tomorrow breezy with some sunshine, 77 degrees. some morning clouds and sunday definitely the better of the two days down the shore. sunshine with a high of 80 degrees. if you're heading up to the poconos overnight lows dropping down into the mid-50's. afternoon high 77 and sunday looking really nice, partly sunny, 79. so the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, a winning weekend, mostly sunny, 87 degrees. on sunday, again lots of

sunshine, filtered sunshine, 87. monday it gets more humid, 86 degrees. could have a few afternoon thunderstorms. a better chance, though, on tuesday as front slips through, 84 and then on wednesday, back to partly sunny skies, 85 degrees. thursday mostly sunny, 85. and friday it clouds up with a chance of a shower an high of 84 degrees but all in all this weekend it's really looking beautiful. >> thank you cecily. abc's world news tonight with david muir is next on channel six.
