The Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> made a splash in April\u2019s NFL Draft<\/a>, moving up one spot to select Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell with the 31st overall pick. Campbell fell after undergoing surgery in March for a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The question remains: when will he be able to practice?<\/p>\n

Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio answered that Tuesday to reporters, saying that Campbell won\u2019t return to the practice field until sometime in August when training camp begins.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now he\u2019s working at ILB (inside linebacker) because there\u2019s a lot more to learn there. So that\u2019s where we\u2019ll start him,\u201d said Fangio. \u201cHe won\u2019t hit the practice field until sometime in August.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fangio continued: \u201cHe\u2019s doing all he can in meetings, we\u2019re doing all we can with him on the field. I take him to the side and do an individual drill with him that\u2019s suited to what he can do right now. So he\u2019s working good and trying to pick it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Eagles believe Campbell could be a Micah Parsons<\/a>-type and play both inside linebacker and edge rusher. Fangio told The Philadelphia Inquirer\u2019s E.J. Smith<\/a> that Campbell \u201cpotentially\u201d will make the shift to edge.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting him out there,\u201d Fangio responded when asked what would make that happen.<\/p>\n

The Eagles had the top-ranked defense during their 2024 Super Bowl run but many of their top players left in the offseason. Defensive tackle Milton Williams<\/a>, edge rusher Josh Sweat<\/a>, linebacker Oren Burks, and cornerback Isaiah Rodgers departed in free agency. Cornerback Darius Slay<\/a> was released, safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson and edge rusher Bryce Huff were traded, and franchise legend Brandon Graham<\/a> retired.<\/p>\n
