Eagles Training Camp Practice Notes: Quinyon Mitchell looks really good entering Year 2

Right now marked the fourth Philadelphia Eagles coaching camp apply forward of the 2025 NFL season. The partially padded (shoulder pads and shorts) session lasted for about an hour and 40 minutes. Right here’s what I noticed on the NovaCare Advanced.

EAGLES PRACTICE NOTES

JALEN HURTS UPDATE: Hurts regarded fairly sharp via the 2 media-attended OTA practices, one minicamp apply, and first two days of coaching camp. He’s since cooled off. Hurts adopted up Saturday’s struggles with some extra errors on Monday. He was responsible of holding onto the ball for too lengthy and taking some “sacks.” One in every of his passes acquired knocked down by Quinyon Mitchell and one other by Jeremiah Trotter Jr. A downfield try and A.J. Brown was underthrown (second straight apply the place that’s occurred) and picked off by Quinyon Mitchell. Guessing Hurts would possibly throw a couple of interception in all of coaching camp like he did final yr. And that’s hardly the top of the world. On the constructive aspect, Hurts did have some good completions to Dallas Goedert.

EAGLES INJURY REPORT: DeVonta Smith (again tightness), Andrew Mukuba (shoulder), Smael Mondon Jr. (sickness), and Danny Grey (finger) didn’t apply. Jalen Carter (shoulder), Jihaad Campbell (shoulder), Cam Jurgens (again), and Kenyon Inexperienced (knee) have been listed as restricted. Carter was a participant in apply for the primary time this summer season, although he didn’t participate in group drills. Adoree’ Jackson appeared to endure a finger damage later in apply. Patrick Johnson additionally gave the impression to be shaken up later in apply. Cooper DeJean got here up a bit of gimpy after a 1-on-1 rep early within the day however he was in a position to end apply.

POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — CORNERBACK: For the third apply in a row, Adoree’ Jackson was the primary first-team proper cornerback. It felt like he took the vast majority of reps there till later in apply, when Kelee Ringo was again with the starters. Ringo’s reemergence additionally coincided with Jackson seemingly struggling a finger damage. Although it’s early and issues can change, the sensation right here is that the veteran Jackson has been higher than Ringo to this point. Jackson notably broke up a contested catch try by Terrace Marshall, who didn’t assist himself by bobbling the ball (that is the play the place Jackson acquired harm). Ringo did have good protection on Marshall to forestall a catch in 1-on-1. If Jackson has to overlook time, that growth clearly works in Ringo’s favor.
Whereas we’re with reference to cornerbacks, we should always be aware that Quinyon Mitchell (who has principally performed LCB but additionally noticed some RCB reps immediately) has had a superb coaching camp. Mitchell is the one Eagles defensive again who’s had an opportunity of slowing down A.J. Brown. Q did lose to A.J. twice in one-on-one reps however 1) that’s a drill that closely favors receivers and a pair of) Mitchell made A.J. make robust catches. And, as beforehand famous, Mitchell knocked down a Hurts move in group drills and picked off one other. At this price, I’d be shocked if there’s a sophomore hunch right here.

POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — SAFETY: Talking of benefiting from an damage, Sydney Brown was the first-team security with Mukuba unable to apply.
Not the primary time I’ve ever typed this however Dallas Goedert actually has been an extremely environment friendly goal for Hurts. Merely put, good issues occur when the ball goes his method. If Goedert can keep wholesome, and that’s clearly a really large IF, I feel he’s going to have a profession yr.
I don’t suppose Jahan Dotson has been the Eagles’ third finest large receiver this offseason. However I do suppose he’s comfortably going to be WR3. The group views him as such, as indicated by how Dotson was hanging out on a aspect discipline with the likes of A.J., Goedert, and Saquon Barkley whereas the remainder of group was engaged on tackling drills.
Inventory down on Johnny Wilson. The second-year large receiver actually struggled to separate whereas going up in opposition to Eli Ricks in 1-on-1s. And it’s not like he’s been ready to make use of his measurement to his benefit. 5’10” rookie Mac McWilliams broke up a soar ball throw to the 6’6” Wilson in the long run zone. Wilson did have a catch over the center on a throw from Tanner McKee. However there’s been extra unhealthy than good.
Fill up on Elijah Cooks, who made a spotlight catch for the second apply in a row. Cooks Moss’d Adoree’ Jackson in 1-on-1. After the rep, Jackson smiled and clapped to point out respect for the reception. If Wilson isn’t inspiring a lot confidence, perhaps the Eagles will hold the 6’4”, 215 pound Cooks as their large receiver.
Fill up on the aforementioned Mac McWilliams. The rookie cornerback stuffed in for Mukuba because the sixth defensive again within the Eagles’ first-team dime bundle. McWilliams broke up a number of passes on Monday.
I wasn’t in a position to watch RB vs. LB 1-on-1s since I used to be specializing in WR vs. CB. So, we’re outsourcing to E.J. Smith right here in terms of Jihaad Campbell’s efficiency:

Campbell noticed some first-team motion once more later in apply.

Moro Ojomo continues to generate strain each day. That is perhaps regarding because it pertains to him going up in opposition to Tyler Steen. However Ojomo has additionally been lined up in opposition to Landon Dickerson’s aspect at instances.
Tanner McKee threw a move to a crossing Avery Williams that was a bit of too far out in entrance. Maybe it was a foul throw however I are likely to suppose Williams being very tiny is the larger downside. Actually shrinks the margin for error when throwing to him. Getting again to McKee, it wasn’t a pointy apply for him. Like Hurts, he was additionally responsible of holding the ball for too lengthy and he threw a move into the flyswatters (simulated leaping defensive lineman) in 7-on-7.
Kyle McCord was intercepted by Tariq Castro-Fields. The ball went large of his supposed goal and to the cornerback as a substitute. May’ve been a decide six in a sport setting. Throughout a purple zone sequence, McCord ripped a ball over the center to Kylen Granson that was dominated simply wanting the aim line.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson had one other stable apply relative to expectation. He hit Nick Muse over the center for a completion. He would’ve had a landing move to Kylen Granson had the tight finish not badly dropped the ball.
Gabe Corridor combined in with the first-team defensive position at instances. The 2024 undrafted rookie free agent might be on the roster bubble. Ditto for Patrick Johnson at edge rusher.
Montrell Johnson Jr. continues to show that he’s acquired some juice. The undrafted working again broke out a spin transfer to dodge Ogbo Okoronkwo within the backfield.

UP NEXT: Again at it on Tuesday morning with a apply that begins at 10:00 AM Japanese. It’ll be the Eagles’ first absolutely padded apply of the summer season earlier than they’ve a walkthrough closed to media entry on Wednesday.
