Welcome to the 11th day of training camp for the 2025 Philadelphia Eagles.
The defending Super Bowl champions are about to begin a hectic week filled with competition, which will feature one of the top rookie names aiming to advance on the depth chart.

Philadelphia has had 10 training camp practices and four walkthroughs since reporting on July 22. Following the 34-27 win over the Bengals on Thursday night, the Eagles have returned to the NovaCare Complex for a Saturday morning session that will see the team in jerseys and helmets as they prepare for Sunday night’s open stadium practice at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles will be on the field for approximately 90 minutes, followed by Sunday’s open practice, a Monday walkthrough, and then two days of joint practice with the Cleveland Browns before a Friday night preseason matchup.
With Day 11 of practices now complete, we’re looking at key takeaways and observations from the NovaCare Complex.
Zack Baun returns
Baun returned to practice after missing over a week of practice with a back contusion. An All-Pro and Defensive Player of the Year finalist, Philadelphia will ease Baun back into action with a set date for the season opener.
Darius Cooper continues to rise
A star pass catcher at Tarleton State, Cooper continues to rise up the depth chart, and with A.J. Brown nursing a hamstring injury, the athletic pass catcher saw some snaps with the first team offense. Cooper dominated the Bengals with six catches on seven targets for 82 yards and a touchdown.
Jakorian Bennett makes his practice debut
Bennett fell out of favor in Las Vegas and potentially into a starting job with the Philadelphia Eagles. Acquired in a trade for Thomas Booker, Bennett was a spectator at the Eagles’ final practice of last week and the preseason matchup, but he’s in pads and ready to compete.
Bennett got most of his work with the third team defense, but has two joint practice sessions against Cleveland to surge up the depth chart.
Eli Ricks has a standout day
Ricks has been coming on strong and continued his strong training camp by causing a turnover.
Jalen Carter is rounding into form
After starting training camp off with a shoulder injury, Carter has renewed his game-wrecking ways on the Eagles offense.
Could Dorian Thompson-Robinson force the Eagles to carry four QBs?
Kyle McCord was drafted in the sixth round, and the initial idea was that Dorian Thompson-Robinson would be the odd man out. It’s been the former UCLA quarterback outperforming the local hero from St. Joe’s Prep, and it could force Philadelphia to make a decision if they think that highly of McCord.
