Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie decided to make himself available to those media members who were on site at the NovaCare Complex Thursday afternoon to talk about anything and everything that is the NFL and/or the Eagles.

Lurie answered questions about NFL players, coaches and personalities ranging from Colin Kaepernick and GM Howie Roseman to head coach Doug Pederson.
