Recapping Day 4 of Philadelphia Eagles training camp
After taking Sunday off, the Eagles returned to the NovaCare Complex for a Monday morning session. Philadelphia was on the field for approximately 90 minutes on Monday and will return to action on Tuesday, followed by a walkthrough on Wednesday. With the session complete and players speaking to the media, we're recapping the sights and sounds from Day 4 of training camp. What we learned Dallas Goedert's demised has been greatly exaggerated. The Eagles star tight end has been dominant in one on ones and seven on seven periods, looking to have a breakout campaign in what could be his final season in Philadelphia. Eagles defense had the upper hand: It wasn''t an overwhelming performance, but the defense clearly was more efficient and locked in during Monday's workout. Jihaad Campbell was built to play linebacker: Championships are won in shoulder pads and shorts, but Campbell looks like the complete package. 4. Dorian Thompson Robinson is starting to pressure Kyle McCord: McCord was the sixth-round draft pick and presumed No. 3 quarterback but Thompson-Robinson is starting to string together good practices. 5. Quinyon Mitchell the traveling cornerback: Mitchell is a lockdown player and that means traveling to cover star wide receivers. After spending his rookie season on the right side, Mitchell has been working on the left. 6. Sydney Brown got his shot With Andrew Mukuba dealing with a shoulder injury, it was Brown who got all of the first team snaps. Brown has reportedly performed underwhelmingly and Monday was important for the hard-hitting safety.

Eagles' training camp: Jihaad Campbell's versatility could make Zack Baun even better
Zack Baun was initially signed by Philadelphia last off-season to add pass rush prowess and versatility to the Eagles' defense. Baun went on to become a Defensive Player of the Year finalist. The Eagles selected Jihaad Campbell in the draft, and on Saturday, the former Alabama star confirmed that he has been working out at both inside linebacker positions. Campbell learning Baun's spot could provide Philadelphia with a scenario where Nakobe Dean or Jeremiah Trotter Jr. plays the other linebacker spot alongside Campbell, allowing Baun to rush the passer more in 2025. The Erial, New Jersey native was named to the first-team All-SEC in 2024 after leading the team with 117 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, and five sacks. Baun led the top-ranked total defense with 151 tackles and five forced fumbles in 2024. He also added one interception. He was one of two players since at least 2000 with 150-plus tackles and five-plus forced fumbles in a season (the Colts' Zaire Franklin also did so in 2024).

Eagles' training camp: Takeaways and observations from Day 3 of practice
After a Friday morning walkthrough, the Eagles returned to the NovaCare Complex practice field for their third session of training camp. The morning saw Jihaad Campbell make another charge towards the starting lineup, while Jalen Hurts wasn't his most impressive. The session also saw Kenyon Green get in his first practice of the summer, while Jalen Carter missed his third straight day. With Day 3 of practice completed, we're looking at five standouts from Saturday's session. Jalen Hurts' uneven performance Saturday wasn't the most efficient for the quarterback, but the practice reps are about getting acquainted with Kevin Patullo as a player caller. Jihaad Campbell first team reps It's just day three of practice, but Campbell looks sharp, he looks injury-free, and he's getting first-team reps alongside Zack Baun. Campbell has been learning both inside linebacker positions. Dorian Thompson-Robinson is staying in the fight Once thought of as the potential third quarterback following the Eagles' trading Kenny Pickett to Cleveland, Thompson-Robinson has battled rookie Kyle McCord for that spot and had his best practice of the summer. Kelee Ringo baptism by fire The talented cornerback is in a roster battle with Adoree Jackson and has been getting baptized on the outside by A.J. Brown over the first three days. The treatment continued on Saturday. Moro Ojomo continues to impress Ojomo continues to impress and continues to pressure the quarterback and collapse the pockets. Eagles added a new wrinkle Philadelphia could be even stronger in the secondary thanks to the unique versatility of cornerback Cooper DeJean and safety Andrew Mukuba. On Saturday, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio placed the duo in a DIME package, with the Swiss army knives in the slot. Jihaad Campbell could make Zack Baun even more dangerous. Zack Baun was initially signed by Philadelphia last off-season to add pass rush prowess and versatility to the Eagles' defense. Baun went on to become a Defensive Player of the Year finalist.
