Philadelphia hit the practice field at the NovaCare Complex on Sunday for the first practice of the 2025 regular season.
With the Eagles set to raise a Super Bowl 59 banner on NBC on Thursday night, the usual work week has been adjusted to have Nick Sirianni’s team face a revamped Cowboys team. Philadelphia has a loaded roster with superstars at several key positions.

The Eagles also have questions about the starters at three key positions, but Sirianni told the media on Sunday that those decisions have been made, he’s just “not sharing”
Adoree Jackson and Jakorian Bennett are the co-starters at the cornerback position opposite Quinyon Mitchell. Jackson, a former Giants first-round pick, has taken most of the first-team reps this summer and has experience against the Cowboys offense.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Jihaad Campbell are the co-starters at the weakside linebacker spot, and could split duties early on. Still, Campbell is a first-round pick and a dynamic and versatile playmaker that the Eagles want to feature early and often.

Finally, at the safety spot opposite Reed Blankenship, Sydney Brown is the expected starter with 2025 second-round pick Andrew Mukuba dealing with shoulder and hamstring injuries throughout the summer.
