Latest news from Eagles camp
Saturday, Aug. 1
The Eagles defense flexed its muscles, making for some tough sledding for Jalen Hurts and company over the one-hour, 40-minute session. Hurts had two passes batted at the line of scrimmage to start the session -- first by Zack Baun, then Jalen Carter. That set the tone for a day defined by heavy pressure and little flow to the pass game.
Carter, fresh off signing a mega-extension, was a problem, and the same can be said for Jalyx Hunt, who has spent much of training camp to date in the backfield.
Other observations:
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. got the nod at starting linebacker in Jihaad Campbell's absence (excused/not injury-related) and made his presence felt, showing good anticipation to disrupt the short-to-intermediate passing game.
Safety Andrew Mukuba and rookie receiver Makai Lemon collided over the middle of the field going after what proved to be a Hurts incompletion. Fortunately, no one was injured on the play. Lemon has seen plenty of action as the primary slot receiver but has had a relatively quiet start to camp.
Receiver Dontayvion Wicks had another quality practice. He made a contested catch over the middle and muscled through Michael Carter II for some yards after the catch.

New Eagles receiver Dontayvion Wicks made the play of the day and may have earned more of Jalen Hurts' trust in the process. Near the end of Thursday's practice, Hurts unfurled a pass deep down the field to Wicks, who was double covered by defensive backs Cole Wisniewski and Jakorian Bennett. Wicks elevated over both of them and secured the catch.
The former Packer is trying to solidify his spot as the No. 2 wideout in this offense alongside DeVonta Smith. Coach Nick Sirianni has clearly taken a liking to him, comparing Wicks to the accomplished Keenan Allen.
Other observations:
There is a heavy amount of misdirection in Sean Mannion's offense. It helped open up big holes for the running backs Thursday, with Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby taking advantage for sizable gains. Bigsby brings some juice and likely earned some more playing time in 2026 after averaging 5.9 yards per attempt for the Eagles last season.
Rookie QB Cole Payton came down to earth following a strong performance Wednesday, throwing interceptions on back-to-back plays.
Second-year corner Mac McWilliams muscled an Andy Dalton pass away from running back Elijah Mitchell for the breakup. Credit veteran corner Jonathan Jones for blanketing DeVonta Smith down the field to force an incompletion.
Wednesday, July 29
There were some encouraging signs from the Eagles' new-look offense on Day 1 of camp. The learning curve they're working through is obvious -- there was one sequence where a pre-snap penalty was followed by a botched running play when Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley were on different pages. But there were also moments where things clicked, like on a hookup between Hurts and DeVonta Smith where Hurts dropped to his right and zipped a strike to his now-No. 1 receiver down the left seam with Quinyon Mitchell tight in coverage.
Hurts worked primarily under center and targeted the middle of the field a good amount, departures from how he has generally operated to this point in the NFL. There was enough good mixed in to consider it a positive opening to the summer.
More observations:
Quarterbacks Tanner McKee and Andy Dalton split second-team reps. The two rotated days as the primary backup in the spring. This is developing into an interesting competition. If the Eagles feel comfortable having either in that role, it would make it easier to trade one of them should a QB-needy team come calling.
Rookie QB Cole Payton showed some really nice touch on deep throws, including one that he shot over defenders and into the arms of receiver Britain Covey down the right seam. He has impressed so far this offseason.
Second-year wideout Darius Cooper had the catch of the day, laying out to snag a pass from Hurts deep down the middle of the field.
On the safety competition front, Andrew Mukuba and Marcus Epps got the bulk of the work in sub packages, with Cooper DeJean filling in for Epps when Vic Fangio's group was in base.

Jalen Carter reported to camp with the rest of his teammates, fresh off becoming the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history in both guaranteed money ($106 million) and average annual value ($38 million).
Though it remains to be seen whether this proves to be a wise long-term investment, it rids the team of any possible short-term distraction as it begins preparations for the 2026 season. Carter did not participate fully in practice this spring, sparking questions about whether he would "hold in" while awaiting a new deal. The focus now shifts to the playing field.
The Eagles have the formidable tackle duo of Carter and Jordan Davis secured for the foreseeable future after giving Davis a three-year, $78 million extension earlier this offseason.
