Eagles' training camp: 3 standouts from the first padded practice of 2025
The Eagles were back on the field for the fifth day of training camp in blistering, almost 100-degree heat. Philadelphia has had four training camp practices and a Friday walkthrough before the NFL celebrates 'Back Together Weekend'. The Eagles have returned to the NovaCare Complex for a Tuesday morning session that will be the team's first fully padded practice of the summer. The Eagles will be on the field for approximately 90 minutes, followed by a walkthrough on Wednesday.
With Day 5 of practices complete, we're looking at the three standouts from the Tuesday morning session.
RB ShunDerrick Powell
Powell rushed for over 4,000 yards in his collegiate career with 42 total touchdowns. He had eight 100-yard games in 2024. The two-time FCS All-American is a three-down running back and potential special-teams standout.
Elijah Cooks
Roster spots are earned and not stolen, but through one week of training camp at the NovaCare Complex, it's the big, physical receiver, Elijah Cook, making a name for himself ahead of players with bigger expectations. The Eagles signed Cooks to a reserve/future contract following the Super Bowl.
Cooks signed with the Eagles' practice squad on Jan. 14 after spending most of the 2024 season on the Jaguars' practice squad. The 26-year-old wideout has made a dazzling catch in each of the past three practices.
LB Jihaad Campbell
The rookie once again had the spotlight all to himself with Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean out, and Campbell provided a sideline-to-sideline impact on the run and the pass.

Seahawks followed both their interceptions with unsportsmanlike celebration penalties
The Seahawks intercepted two passes in Thursday night's preseason game against the Raiders. And they followed both interceptions with unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. The interceptions were by Josh Jobe and Nehemiah Pritchett, but the penalties weren't on them. They were on the veterans on the Seahawks' defense who weren't even in the game but ran onto the field to celebrate. After the game, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said he's glad the veterans were cheering on the players who were on the field, but he needs to emphasize that it can't happen in the regular season. "We really can't afford to be doing that moving forward. But having the enthusiasm, having the guys being fired up for guys making plays, that was pretty cool," Macdonald said, via Brady Henderson of ESPN. Both interceptions were thrown by Raiders backup quarterback Aidan O'Connell, who played most of the game after a brief appearance by starter Geno Smith.

NFL expert predicts 'chic' Panthers will finish with this improved record in 2025
Are the 2025 Carolina Panthers chic? Well, that seems to be the verdict from USA Today's Nate Davis, who recently made his record predictions for the upcoming campaign. And when it comes to those trendy cats, Davis has Carolina finishing at 8-9—just one game off his projected NFC South champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-8). He writes: They're a chic playoff pick in some quarters after QB Bryce Young and the rest of the team finally got off the mat during the encouraging second half of last season. WRs Xavier Legette and Tetairoa McMillan, the club's most recent first-rounders, could further elevate this offense in 2025. But a defense that was resoundingly the NFL's worst by most important metrics in 2024 remains a looming question despite the return of dominant DE Derrick Brown. Still, a fast start could be in the offing as the Panthers won't face a 2024 playoff outfit until Week 8. That Week 8 opponent will be the Buffalo Bills, who are set to come into Bank of America Stadium in late October. Before matching up with the reigning Most Valuable Player Josh Allen and his herd, the Panthers will face the Jacksonville Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets—who combined for a 44-75 mark last season. If the Panthers can finish slightly better than Davis' forecast, they could break a franchise-record seven-year playoff drought. The team has gone 36-80 in that article originally appeared on Panthers Wire: NFL expert predicts Panthers to finish with improved record in 2025
