Eagles' training camp: Takeaways from the 1st joint practice session with Browns
Day 1 of the Eagles and Browns joint practice ended after 1 hour, 45 minutes of work by both teams, with Shedeur Sanders receiving no snaps. Veteran quarterback Tyler Huntley ran with the third team, leaving Cleveland and national beat writers speechless. Philadelphia held out A.J. Brown, while Lane Johnson eventually departed and was replaced by Matt Pryor.
With the first practice concluded, we're looking at takeaways, observations, and random notes from the joint session.
No A.J. Brown
Brown has missed about a week with a hamstring injury, and the Eagles are going to be careful with their All-Pro wide receiver.
Shedeur Sanders gets no reps
If Sanders does play against the Eagles on Saturday, it could be his first reps of the week, as the fifth-round pick received no snaps during the joint practice session, spending most of his time off to the side.
Update:
The Browns' brass says Sanders was held out with an abdominal injury.
Kenny Pickett returns
Pickett returned to the NovaCare Complex for the first time since being traded following the Super Bowl win. Pickett has been battling an injury, but participated and ran with the second team offense, while Joe Flacco led the first team and Dillon Gabriel led the third team.
Injured Eagles
Philadelphia is dealing with several injuries and had A.J. Brown out for precautionary reasons. Lane Johnson eventually departed the practice, and Matt Pryor was inserted at right tackle.

Jahan Dotson is set for a breakout season
Dotson is a surgical route runner and has been drawing rave reviews all summer long.
Defensive depth chart
The Eagles' first team defense lined up for 7-on-7 with Adoree Jackson at CB and Sydney Brown at safety. Zack Baun was back in the lineup, and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was at linebacker.
Johnny Wilson is starting to find his role
A big, physical wide receiver can be a matchup nightmare, and Wilson is the X-Factor Philadelphia has been searching for.
Smael Mondon Jr.
The former Georgia linebacker was a fifth-round pick, but has made enough plays to warrant DC Vic Fangio giving him first-team reps in key situations during camp.
Jakorian Bennett struggles during joint practice
Philadelphia acquired the former Raiders cornerback to push Kelee Ringo and Adoree Jackson for the No. 2 cornerback spot. Bennett has been receiving snaps with the first team, but had some difficulties on Day 1 of joint practice.

Peyton Manning's 13-year-old son enrolls at Baylor School in Tennessee
The post Peyton Manning's 13-year-old son enrolls at Baylor School in Tennessee appeared first on ClutchPoints. Starting with family patriarch Archie Manning, the family has taken over the NFL since the 1970s. Manning's sons, Eli and Peyton, each forged their own paths. Eli won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants, while Peyton joined his father in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in addition to winning two Lombardi Trophies of his own. Now, the next generation is up. Arch Manning, the son of Peyton and Eli's brother Cooper, is now the starting quarterback at the University of Texas. Joining Arch at the next level could be his cousin Marshall, Peyton's son. Marshall's next team has been decided according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press' Stephen Hargis. 'Sources confirmed Friday that Marshall Manning, the son of Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, has enrolled and will attend Baylor as an eighth-grade day student,' wrote Hargis on Friday. In the recent past, Manning's own star has begun to flourish. Like his father before him, it seems as if a future in college football is already before him. And this is all before he takes a snap in high school, which wouldn't begin until next year. He would be a Class of 2030 recruit. With Marshall Manning now plying his trade in the state of Tennessee, a new question emerges: will the Tennessee football program, his father's alma mater, become the front runner in his eventual recruitment? Could Peyton Manning's son be next link in Manning quarterback legacy? The youngest Manning is now 14 years old and could eventually turn into a high-level prospect like his cousin Arch before him. That growth could continue at Baylor, which is likely why Peyton and his wife chose to allow their son to transfer. This could certainly fuel rumors that the Hall of Famer wants his son his to get more exposure in front of his alma mater in Knoxville. There's even a potential path in which father and son return to Rocky Top to try and continue the program's quest for national prominence. Many program boosters and supporters would love to have Peyton return to the school and get them back onto the path to glory. If that happens, will Marshall join him? Or will he forge his own path, just like Arch before him?

President Trump's 1984 Comment On Dallas Cowboys Goes Viral After Today's News
President Trump's 1984 Comment On Dallas Cowboys Goes Viral After Today's News originally appeared on The Spun. President Trump's 1984 comment on the Dallas Cowboys has gone viral following Wednesday's impressive news about the franchise. The Dallas Cowboys remain America's Team for a reason. While it's been more than 25 years since the Dallas Cowboys won a Super Bowl, no professional American sports franchise is more popular than Jerry Jones' team. On Wednesday, the Cowboys were named the most valuable professional sports franchise in America. Sportico announced that the Dallas Cowboys are worth a striking amount: more than $10 billion, to be official. The Dallas Cowboys were officially valued at $12.8 billion by Sportico. They are the most valuable team in America. The Los Angeles Rams trail the Cowboys by a couple of billion, valued at more than $10 billion. President Trump, meanwhile, passed on the chance to own the Dallas Cowboys back in 1984, when they were put up for sale. The President of the United States passed on the chance to own the Dallas Cowboys for $50 million. Three-plus decades later, they're worth 240 times more than that. Donald Trump had said that he felt 'sorry for the poor guy who is going to buy' the team. Back in 2018, Jerry Jones admitted that he wished that President Trump wouldn't get involved in the NFL's businesses. President Trump, who was in office in 2018, took issue with NFL players kneeling for the national anthem. "His interest in what we're doing is problematic, from my chair, and I would say in general the owners' chair," Jones said at Wednesday's news conference to open training camp. "It's unprecedented, if you really think about it. But like the very game itself, that's the way it is and we'll deal with it. "We feel strongly about how we deal with it and we'll do so accordingly, but, yes, I, like everybody, would like for it to go away." If President Trump had bought the Cowboys in 1984, things - including America - would look a lot different today. President Trump's 1984 Comment On Dallas Cowboys Goes Viral After Today's News first appeared on The Spun on Aug 14, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 14, 2025, where it first appeared.
