• On the second snap, Hurts faked a handoff to Saquon Barkley and then threw over the middle for Wicks, who made the catch for a nice gain and completion.
• McKee had a strong morning and in this period he found tight end E.J. Jenkins over the middle for the big pickup.
• The Patriots’ offense tried a trick play with a screen pass to the right side of the field followed by a pass back across the formation. However, the second pass bounced well in front of the target and had to be jumped on just to retain possession.
• Ojomo and Nolan Smith combined for a sack of Maye during this session.
• Several people had to look at the roster to see who it was when No. 49 for the Eagles forced an incompletion along the left sideline. It was newly added cornerback Isaiah Bolden, who was a seventh-round pick of the Patriots in 2023 out of Jackson State.
• The No. 1 offense scored a touchdown with this sequence – completion from Hurts to Goedert, completion from Hurts to Wicks on an out route that stopped the clock (the teams started with 45 seconds on the clock, no timeouts remaining on the opponent’s 25-yard line). Then Hurts went to Hollywood Brown in the back of the end zone and he made a spectacular catch, but the officials ruled that Brown’s feet were out of bounds. No matter. Hurts went right back to Brown, running a crossing route in the back of the end zone for the touchdown on the very next step. Audible “E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!” chants erupted from the crowd.
• Earlier, it was noted how outside linebacker Jalyx Hunt made an outstanding strip and fumble recovery, only to out-do the play with one of the best overall plays of Eagles Training Camp 2026! Maye threw the ball to Brown and Woolen, continuing his outstanding day, was able to pop the ball up into the air as the two were going to the ground. Hunt flew over and dove, getting his hands under the ball to cleanly come up with the interception. Remember, Hunt was the first player in Eagles history to lead the team in both sacks and interceptions in the same season last year.
• When the top defense returned to action for another series under the same conditions, the Patriots did score the touchdown, but not before Woolen had tight coverage on Doubs in the back right corner of the end zone to force an incompletion (not it’s not a typo that it happened again) and Mitchell did the same to former Eagle Mack Hollins in the back left corner of the end zone. On the game-tying two-point conversion attempt, Woolen saved the day shadowing Brown across the end zone, forcing the incompletion.
