Eagles Training Camp Practice Notes: Jihaad Campbell sees some first-team reps

At this time marked the third Philadelphia Eagles coaching camp observe forward of the 2025 NFL season. The non-padded session lasted for about an hour and 40 minutes. Right here’s what I noticed on the NovaCare Complicated.

EAGLES PRACTICE NOTES

JALEN HURTS UPDATE: This was simply Hurts’ worst observe of the offseason. That’s to not say he was horrible … extra that it was a blended bag. The nice included a number of completions over the center to Dallas Goedert, two quick purple zone landing passes to DeVonta Smith, and a dime to A.J. Brown down the fitting sideline. The unhealthy included extra incompletions as we speak than the remainder of his earlier practices mixed, underthrowing Brown deep, throwing into the flyswatter dummy (simulating a leaping defensive lineman) in 7-on-7, having one other cross deflected in 11-on-11, overthrowing DeVonta Smith whereas rolling out proper, and leaving a cross to Jahan Dotson too extensive of the sphere for him to get each ft in bounds. We’ll see if Hurts bounces again on Monday.

EAGLES INJURY REPORT: Jalen Carter (shoulder) has but to observe this summer season. Kenyon Inexperienced (knee) was upgraded to restricted participation after lacking the primary two practices. Jihaad Campbell (shoulder) and Cam Jurgens (again) had been listed as restricted once more. Andrew Mukuba appeared to get banged up late in observe. Nakobe Dean continues to be on the lively/PUP listing.

JIHAAD CAMPBELL RISING: For the primary time this summer season, the Eagles’ 2025 first-round decide rotated in with the first-team protection. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. nonetheless took the vast majority of reps subsequent to Zack Baun however Campbell’s inventory is outwardly rising. Talking after observe, Campbell stated that he’ll be capable to take part within the Eagles’ first padded observe on Tuesday.

POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — CORNERBACK: A little bit fascinating to see that Adoree’ Jackson, not Kelee Ringo, was up first because the first-team proper cornerback in 11-on-11. It doesn’t essentially matter a ton as a result of Jackson and Ringo are rotating the beginning RCB reps over the course of a number of group durations. However I’d’ve thought Ringo would’ve been up first as we speak. In contrast, the Eagles went again to Sydney Brown because the first-team nickel security like he was on Day 1 after Andrew Mukuba received the primary crack on Day 2. Jackson was additionally first up at RCB in 7-on-7 drills as we speak. When it comes to efficiency, Jackson hasn’t stood out a lot, which is possibly a very good factor. Ringo stood out on Saturday however not in probably the most encouraging method. A.J. Brown needed a flag referred to as on Ringo for interfering with him on a deep ball underthrown by Hurts. Ringo allowed a downfield catch to Brown alongside the fitting sideline, although his tight protection was beat by a extremely good throw and catch. Powerful to crush Ringo for not with the ability to shut down Brown as a result of, nicely, Brown is fairly unstoppable. Nonetheless, could be good to see some extra optimistic Ringo reps quickly.

POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — SAFETY: As famous straight above, Brown was up first because the beginning security in nickel (nonetheless Cooper DeJean in not often used base). However Brown and Mukuba are nonetheless very a lot rotating. And it was Mukuba who had a task on the sphere within the Eagles’ dime package deal, with each him and DeJean enjoying on the within. Mukuba trailed on a play the place Tanner McKee hit a diving Danny Grey over the center for a completion.

DEFENSIVE LINE DISRUPTION: Nolan Smith generated some stress whereas going up towards Lane Johnson. Moro Ojomo continues to flash by being disruptive within the backfield. Jordan Davis deflected a Hurts cross on the line of scrimmage.

DALLAS GOEDERT POISED FOR A BIG YEAR? Hurts certain has been throwing to his prime tight finish loads. Goedert has been catching all the pieces thrown his method.

QUINYON MITCHELL CONTINUES TO BE LOCKDOWN: On the primary day of camp, Mitchell prevented a Hurts deep completion to Brown. On the third day of camp, Mitchell prevented a Hurts deep completion to DeVonta. Mitchell is wanting actually good forward of 12 months 2.

WIDE RECEIVERS BEHIND THE TOP TWO: Terrace Marshall took no less than one first-team rep throughout a purple zone drill. Danny Grey made a pleasant diving seize. I’m nonetheless not able to say they’re going to overhaul Jahan Dotson however they’ve stood out extra to me this offseason. Additionally, Ainias Smith continues to be fairly invisible.

TANNER MCKEE COOLS OFF: Hurts wasn’t the one Eagles quarterback to have his worst offseason observe; McKee additionally wasn’t as sharp as regular. QB2 overthrew Grant Calcaterra at one level and had a decide in the long run zone dropped by Parry Nickerson, who did pushups after the play as punishment for not catching the ball. McKee additionally had a cross knocked down by Sydney Brown.

DORIAN THOMPSON-ROBINSON HEATS UP: One Eagles quarterback who did have their greatest day is DTR. He made some correct throws over the center to beat the protection. He additionally took a second-team rep over McKee at one level, although it was only one and I don’t suppose he’s truly pushing for that job. And even going to make the roster since Kyle McCord has been higher. However, hey, credit score to DTR for taking advantage of his restricted reps on Saturday.

SPEAKING OF KYLE MCCORD: The rookie quarterback isn’t very fearful, which is sweet to see. He ripped a bullet over the center into tight protection for a completion. He had a pleasant completion to Elijah Cooks to finish observe.

CAN YOU SMELL WHAT ELIJAH IS COOKING? For the uninitiated, Cooks is a 6’4”, 215 pound extensive receiver who went undrafted in 2023, spent a while with the Jacksonville Jaguars, after which joined the Philadelphia Eagles’ observe squad earlier this 12 months. Cooks made a very nice catch on the ultimate play of observe by Mossing B.J. Mayes for a again shoulder seize down the left sideline. Good ball by McCord to provide him the possibility to make the play. After the reception, Cooks — who’s carrying Zach Ertz’s outdated No. 86 — signaled for a primary down and acquired reward from his fellow extensive receivers. Grey was first to run as much as him to have a good time. Cooks is a protracted shot to make the roster however possibly he can earn a observe squad spot. May very well be somebody to keep watch over within the preseason video games.

JAKE THE MAKE: Jake Elliott made all of his discipline aim makes an attempt, together with two kicks from 53 yards out. Mark my phrases: Elliott goes to bounce again this 12 months.

LONG SNAPPING ISSUES? Charley Hughlett had a foul snap that was excessive of Braden Mann however was mounted by the holder. We’ll see if this continues to be a difficulty.

UDFA TO WATCH: Montrell Johnson appears to have some juice. He runs nicely. The Eagles will most likely solely hold three working backs and he probably gained’t be considered one of them. However the Florida alumnus might be RB4 as a member of the observe squad.

NOT LONG FOR THE ROSTER? Trevor Keegan, enjoying because the third-team heart, seemed pissed off after failing to select up a stunt.

IT’S LOUD: For the primary time I can keep in mind, the Eagles pumped in crowd noise at a coaching camp observe on the NovaCare Complicated. It sounded horrible.

WHAT’S BETTER THAN ONE VINCE LOMBARDI TROPHY? What a sight:

UP NEXT: Eagles gamers have Sunday off earlier than returning to observe at 10:00 AM on Monday morning. Yow will discover extra of the Eagles’ coaching camp schedule by clicking right here.
