In the present day marked the eleventh Philadelphia Eagles coaching camp follow forward of the 2025 NFL season. The session lasted for about one hour and 25 minutes. Right here’s what I noticed on the NovaCare Complicated.
Hurts had a stable follow.
The reigning Tremendous Bowl MVP did properly to attach with Johnny Wilson on a layered throw over the center. Hurts put the ball excessive the place the tall receiver may make the play. Hurts had a pleasant quick completion to a crossing Dallas Goedert.
Hurts did overthrow Saquon Barkley within the flat throughout a state of affairs the place the offense was backed up on the minus 1-yard line. He additionally had a throw get deflected on the line of scrimmage.
I noticed Jalyx Hunt collaborating in offensive line versus line of defense drills early in follow however he wasn’t to be discovered throughout workforce drills. ESPN’s Tim McManus stated he noticed Hunt go to the medical tent about 20 minutes into follow. We’ll keep watch over this one.
WR A.J. Brown (hamstring)WR Elijah Cooks (shoulder)OT Kenyon Inexperienced (shoulder)LS Charley Hughlett (neck)RB Montrell Johnson Jr. (hamstring)TE Cameron Latu (knee)DT Byron Younger (groin)
Brown was seen performing some operating previous to follow. Looks as if a constructive signal despite the fact that he’s now missed 4 straight practices.
Johnson has additionally missed 4 straight practices.
Younger has missed three straight practices.
Cooks suffered a shoulder harm within the first preseason recreation. Missed time works in opposition to him making the roster.
Inexperienced additionally suffered a shoulder harm within the first preseason recreation. He wasn’t wanting nice previous to getting damage.
Hughlett was beforehand restricted in follow final week however he didn’t play on Thursday and now he’s not training. Perhaps the not too long ago signed Christian Johnstone has an actual probability to be the Eagles’ new lengthy snapper?
Latu acquired banged up within the preseason recreation.
LB Zack Baun (again contusion)OG Landon Dickerson (knee)WR Terrace Marshall (knee)
After lacking six straight practices, Baun is again in a restricted capability. He didn’t take part in workforce drills.
The Eagles appear to be managing Dickerson’s workload. Brett Toth break up time at first-team left guard.
Marshall returned to workforce drills.
UPGRADED TO FULL PARTICIPATION
Andrew Mukuba (shoulder), Mac McWilliams (quad), Matt Pryor (shoulder), Trevor Keegan (again), and Lewis Cine (hamstring) had been faraway from the harm report.
Sydney Brown was notably not listed on the harm report regardless of being evaluated within the medical tent on Thursday night time.
OH YEAH, THAT JALEN CARTER GUY IS PRETTY GOOD
Let’s be clear: I don’t assume Carter has been dogging it at follow by any means. However it looks like he can hit a wholly totally different gear when he actually desires to take action. In the present day was a type of days the place Carter determined to be a game-wrecker (properly, practice-wrecker). He strip-sacked Hurts. He knocked down a go on the line of scrimmage. He continued to shine in 1-on-1s.
Throughout coaching camp, it may be simple to miss gamers we already know are nice on the expense of being attentive to guys with extra to show. However it bears repeating that Carter is a pressure to be reckoned with.
POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — CORNERBACK
Kelee Ringo was first up with the first-team protection on Saturday. That makes six days Adoree’ Jackson has been up first and 5 days for Ringo.
Ringo broke up a go to DeVonta Smith on a curl route … nevertheless it appeared like he acquired to the receiver early. A number of close by reporters agreed {that a} flag ought to’ve been thrown for go interference.
Jackson trailed on a play the place Darius Cooper dropped an over-the-shoulder catch (Gasp! The undrafted rookie is human in any case.)
Eli Ricks, repping at RCB, intercepted a Tanner McKee go for a decide six with the Eagles’ offense backed up in opposition to their very own 1-yard line. Unsure if McKee and Terrace Marshall had a miscommunication however kudos to Ricks for making the play in any case. The third-year nook celebrated his landing by punting the ball.
Jakorian Bennett participated in follow for the primary time because the Eagles traded for him final week. Bennett’s first motion in workforce drills got here when he rotated in at proper cornerback with the second-team protection. That’s notable since Ringo and Jackson have principally repped at RCB this offseason. Bennett later took third-team RCB reps. He wasn’t actually noticeable, apart from when he gave up a tightly contested slant reception to Taylor Morin for a profitable two-point conversion attempt.
POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — SAFETY
Sydney Brown was nonetheless the first-team security subsequent to Reed Blankenship in nickel protection regardless of Andrew Mukuba’s return.
Mukuba did see some very restricted first-team motion because the sixth defensive again within the Eagles’ dime bundle.
POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — WIDE RECEIVER
As beforehand famous within the Jalen Hurts part, Johnny Wilson made a pleasant seize over the center in workforce drills. He’s rebounded since a tough begin to coaching camp. Good on him.
My man Darius Cooper did drop a go early in follow however he adopted that up by making a tricky catch over the center on a throw from Hurts in 7-on-7. Hurts left the ball a bit low however Cooper was capable of forestall it from hitting the bottom. After the play, Hurts jogged over to Cooper to dap up the undrafted rookie. Cooper took a superb quantity of reps with the first-team offense on this follow. Inventory method up.
POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — EDGE RUSHER
With Hunt not participating in workforce drills, Joshua Uche was the first-team edge rusher on the appropriate facet of the protection. Uche additionally took second-team reps in the identical place.
Seeing some first-team motion, Ogbo Okoronkwo had some good moments. He “sacked” Hurts at one level and I noticed him having success in opposition to Kendall Lamm in OL vs. DL 1-on-1s.
Uche, Okoronkwo, and Patrick Johnson have all performed greater than Azeez Ojulari has this summer time.
POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — QB3
Going through 1st-and-goal from the 10-yard line, Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw a pleasant landing ball to Taylor Morin behind the tip zone with Mukuba trailing. DTR then hit Morin once more on a fast slant for a two-point conversion to finish follow. DTR some dancing after each reps.
Kyle McCord was responsible of holding the ball for too lengthy throughout his restricted reps.
McCord had a greater spring than DTR however the latter quarterback has had the superior summer time. DTR undoubtedly seems to be extra recreation prepared than McCord; he deserves the emergency third QB position primarily based on benefit.
