Today marked the 11th Philadelphia Eagles training camp practice ahead of the 2025 NFL season. The session lasted for about one hour and 25 minutes. Here’s what I observed at the NovaCare Complex.

Hurts had a solid practice.

The reigning Super Bowl MVP did well to connect with Johnny Wilson on a layered throw over the middle. Hurts put the ball high where the tall receiver could make the play. Hurts had a nice short completion to a crossing Dallas Goedert.

Hurts did overthrow Saquon Barkley in the flat during a situation where the offense was backed up at the minus 1-yard line. He also had a throw get deflected at the line of scrimmage.

I saw Jalyx Hunt participating in offensive line versus defensive line drills early in practice but he wasn’t to be found during team drills. ESPN’s Tim McManus said he saw Hunt visit the medical tent about 20 minutes into practice. We’ll keep an eye on this one.

WR A.J. Brown (hamstring)
WR Elijah Cooks (shoulder)
OT Kenyon Green (shoulder)
LS Charley Hughlett (neck)
RB Montrell Johnson Jr. (hamstring)
TE Cameron Latu (knee)
DT Byron Young (groin)

Brown was seen doing some running prior to practice. Seems like a positive sign even though he’s now missed four straight practices.

Johnson has also missed four straight practices.

Young has missed three straight practices.

Cooks suffered a shoulder injury in the first preseason game. Missed time works against him making the roster.

Green also suffered a shoulder injury in the first preseason game. He wasn’t looking great prior to getting hurt.

Hughlett was previously limited in practice last week but he didn’t play on Thursday and now he’s not practicing. Maybe the recently signed Christian Johnstone has a real chance to be the Eagles’ new long snapper?

Latu got banged up in the preseason game.

LB Zack Baun (back contusion)
OG Landon Dickerson (knee)
WR Terrace Marshall (knee)

After missing six straight practices, Baun is back in a limited capacity. He did not participate in team drills.

The Eagles seem to be managing Dickerson’s workload. Brett Toth split time at first-team left guard.

Marshall returned to team drills.

UPGRADED TO FULL PARTICIPATION

Andrew Mukuba (shoulder), Mac McWilliams (quad), Matt Pryor (shoulder), Trevor Keegan (back), and Lewis Cine (hamstring) were removed from the injury report.

Sydney Brown was notably not listed on the injury report despite being evaluated in the medical tent on Thursday night.

OH YEAH, THAT JALEN CARTER GUY IS PRETTY GOOD

Let’s be clear: I don’t think Carter has been dogging it at practice by any means. But it feels like he can hit an entirely different gear when he really wants to do so. Today was one of those days where Carter decided to be a game-wrecker (well, practice-wrecker). He strip-sacked Hurts. He knocked down a pass at the line of scrimmage. He continued to shine in 1-on-1s.

During training camp, it can be easy to overlook players we already know are great at the expense of paying attention to guys with more to prove. But it bears repeating that Carter is a force to be reckoned with.

POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — CORNERBACK

Kelee Ringo was first up with the first-team defense on Saturday. That makes six days Adoree’ Jackson has been up first and five days for Ringo.

Ringo broke up a pass to DeVonta Smith on a curl route … but it looked like he got to the receiver early. Multiple nearby reporters agreed that a flag should’ve been thrown for pass interference.

Jackson trailed on a play where Darius Cooper dropped an over-the-shoulder catch (Gasp! The undrafted rookie is human after all.)

Eli Ricks, repping at RCB, intercepted a Tanner McKee pass for a pick six with the Eagles’ offense backed up against their own 1-yard line. Not sure if McKee and Terrace Marshall had a miscommunication but kudos to Ricks for making the play in any case. The third-year corner celebrated his touchdown by punting the ball.

Jakorian Bennett participated in practice for the first time since the Eagles traded for him last week. Bennett’s first action in team drills came when he rotated in at right cornerback with the second-team defense. That’s notable since Ringo and Jackson have mostly repped at RCB this offseason. Bennett later took third-team RCB reps. He wasn’t really noticeable, except for when he gave up a tightly contested slant reception to Taylor Morin for a successful two-point conversion try.

POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — SAFETY

Sydney Brown was still the first-team safety next to Reed Blankenship in nickel defense despite Andrew Mukuba’s return.

Mukuba did see some very limited first-team action as the sixth defensive back in the Eagles’ dime package.

POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — WIDE RECEIVER

As previously noted in the Jalen Hurts section, Johnny Wilson made a nice grab over the middle in team drills. He’s rebounded since a rough start to training camp. Good on him.

My guy Darius Cooper did drop a pass early in practice but he followed that up by making a tough catch over the middle on a throw from Hurts in 7-on-7. Hurts left the ball a bit low but Cooper was able to prevent it from hitting the ground. After the play, Hurts jogged over to Cooper to dap up the undrafted rookie. Cooper took a good amount of reps with the first-team offense in this practice. Stock way up.

POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — EDGE RUSHER

With Hunt not taking part in team drills, Joshua Uche was the first-team edge rusher on the right side of the defense. Uche also took second-team reps in the same position.

Seeing some first-team action, Ogbo Okoronkwo had some good moments. He “sacked” Hurts at one point and I saw him having success against Kendall Lamm in OL vs. DL 1-on-1s.

Uche, Okoronkwo, and Patrick Johnson have all done more than Azeez Ojulari has this summer.

POSITION BATTLE UPDATE — QB3

Facing 1st-and-goal from the 10-yard line, Dorian Thompson-Robinson threw a nice touchdown ball to Taylor Morin in the back of the end zone with Mukuba trailing. DTR then hit Morin again on a quick slant for a two-point conversion to end practice. DTR some dancing after both reps.

Kyle McCord was guilty of holding the ball for too long during his limited reps.

McCord had a better spring than DTR but the latter quarterback has had the superior summer. DTR definitely looks more game ready than McCord; he deserves the emergency third QB role based on merit.

Tariq Castro-Fields probably leads all Eagles players in practice penalties this offseason. He’s often been flagged for being too grabby in coverage. To his credit, though, TCF has been playing better lately. Case in point: he broke up a pass intended for Morin today. TCF’s making his case for a spot on the practice squad.Morin might also be a PS guy after making some catches and having returner ability.Jacob Sykes is another PS candidate. The former UFL defensive tackle made a nice tackle for no gain in the first preseason game. He was able to generate some pressure on DTR today.Some former Eagles linemen were spotted at practice today: Fletcher Cox, Brandon Brooks, and Ndamukong Suh.Sunday, August 10 — Training camp practice open to fans starting at 6:00 PM Eastern (Lincoln Financial Field — Tickets sold out!)Monday, August 11 — Off dayTuesday, August 12 — Training camp practice starting at 10:00 AM Eastern (NovaCare Complex)Wednesday, August 13 — Joint training camp practice against Cleveland Browns starting at 10:00 AM Eastern (NovaCare Complex)Thursday, August 14 — Joint training camp practice against Cleveland Browns starting at 10:00 AM Eastern (NovaCare Complex)Friday, August 15 — Walkthrough closed to media accessSaturday, August 16 — Eagles vs. Browns preseason game starting at 1:00 PM Eastern (Lincoln Financial Field)
