With Day 5 of practices complete, we're looking at the three standouts from the Tuesday morning session. 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.

MLB Insider Reports Rangers Will Be Active At MLB Trade Deadline
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Texas Rangers have stormed back into the playoff race after a tough start to the season that looked to be lost, and are now entering trade season with a chance to make a push. One MLB insider believes Texas will get bold before Thursday's MLB trade deadline. "They're going to be looking for a right-handed hitter, and perhaps more importantly, high-leverage relievers," Ken Rosenthal said on "Fair Territory". ARLINGTON, TX - JULY 26: Marcus Semien #2 of the Texas Rangers celebrates with teammates following the team's tenth inning win against the Atlanta Braves at Globe Life Field on July 26, 2025 in Arlington,... ARLINGTON, TX - JULY 26: Marcus Semien #2 of the Texas Rangers celebrates with teammates following the team's tenth inning win against the Atlanta Braves at Globe Life Field on July 26, 2025 in Arlington, Texas. More Photo byThe Rangers enter Tuesday a half-game back of the Boston Red Sox for the final wild-card spot in the American League and just 4 games back of the Houston Astros for the AL West. While the Astros have 18 players on the injured list, the Rangers are getting ready to make a run at the division title. Rosenthal notes that the Rangers are going to be in the market for high-leverage relievers. While the Rangers have the third-best bullpen ERA this season, they have blown the fifth-most saves as a group. Just about every contender is in the market for bullpen help, but there are some quality options on the market this year. The Rangers should be calling the St. Louis Cardinals about Ryan Helsley and the Minnesota Twins about Jhoan Duran as the deadline inches closer to give them the arm that they need to secure games and reach the postseason. Rosenthal also mentions that they should be in the market for a right-handed bat, and while the market is thin on power hitting, the Rangers could find a serviceable bat to add to their lineup for the final stretch. The Rangers should be handling the needs of their bullpen before making any changes to their offense.
