It\u2019ll happen on Sunday, Aug. 10 at 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n Tickets for the public practice are on sale at Ticketmaster.com and are $10 for first-come, first-serve seating. There\u2019s also a VIP option for $40 that includes a \u201cspecial on-field experience.\u201d All ticket proceeds benefit the Eagles Autism Foundation. Any fan over the age of 2 will require a ticket. Parking is free.<\/p>\n Key storylines<\/p>\n 1. Defending the title\u00a0<\/p>\n The Eagles will have a target on their backs in 2025 as the reigning Super Bowl champions. They won 14 games in the regular season and four games in the playoffs \u2014 blowing out the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game and the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX \u2014 to hoist the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in franchise history. Now, we\u2019ll see how they respond to defending their title. The Eagles still have a ton of talent and seem way better positioned after this Super Bowl win than the last one in 2018. There are still plenty of questions about this team but they\u2019re built to last. And Nick Sirianni has avoided talking about a \u201crepeat.\u201d He has instead been stressing the importance of \u201csustained success\u201d to his players.<\/p>\n 2. Another new OC<\/p>\n The last time the Eagles went to the Super Bowl in 2022, they lost both coordinators. At least they only had to replace one after last season. Former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore took the head coaching job in New Orleans after just one season in Philadelphia. The Eagles didn\u2019t have to look far for his replacement, promoting passing game coordinator to offensive coordinator. Patullo has been with the Eagles since Sirianni took the head coaching job back in 2021. Several players this offseason said the change from Moore to Patullo has been less dramatic than their previous OC changes. Patullo is the fourth OC under Nick Sirianni in five seasons following Moore, Brian Johnson and Shane Steichen.<\/p>\n 3. Replacing Super Bowl talent<\/p>\n The Eagles knew they weren\u2019t going to be able to run back their entire roster from the 2024 season. On offense, they return 10 of 11 starters (the only one to leave was Mekhi Becton) but there has been more turnover on defense. Milton Williams, Josh Sweat, Darius Slay, Isaiah Rodgers, Brandon Graham, Bryce Huff and C.J. Gardner-Johnson are all gone.<\/p>\n And it looks like the Eagles are going to be relying on a bunch of young players on the defensive side of the ball for a second straight season. Players like Jalyx Hunt, Moro Ojomo, Kelee Ringo, Drew Mukuba, Jihaad Campbell and more will likely need to have big roles for Vic Fangio\u2019s defense in 2025.<\/p>\n 4. The battles<\/p>\n There are many position battles to watch in training camp, but here are main ones in 2025:<\/p>\n Right guard: <\/a>Mekhi Becton left in free agency, which means the Eagles will have another new right guard in 2025. During spring practices, Tyler Steen was lining up in that spot for the first-team offense but he also got the first crack at the job last year before he suffered a minor ankle injury and Becton was inserted into the lineup. His top competition appears to be veteran Matt Pryor, who is back in Philly on a one-year deal.<\/p>\n Safety:<\/a> After trading C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Texans, the Eagles need a new starting safety to line up next to Reed Blankenship. This is a three-man competition between Sydney Brown, Drew Mukuba and Tristin McCollum. Mukuba is the second-round pick from Texas.<\/p>\n Cornerback: <\/a>With Darius Slay and Isaiah Rodgers gone, the Eagles have to figure out who is going to be their other outside cornerback opposite Quinyon Mitchell. This appears to be a two-man race between Kelee Ringo and Adoree\u2019 Jackson. Ringo is a 23-year-old former fourth-round pick with a ton of upside. Jackson is a 29-year-old veteran going into Year 9 with the Eagles after signing a one-year deal.<\/p>\n
