Today marked the eighth Philadelphia Eagles training camp practice ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Here’s what I observed down at the Jefferson Health Training Complex!
EAGLES PRACTICE NOTES
The Eagles held a scrimmage today in what was their longest practice of camp. ‘Twas a grueling session in the hot summer heat.
EAGLES INJURY REPORT: DID NOT PARTICIPATE: WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring)
WR Makai Lemon (hamstring)
WR Britain Covey (hamstring)
S Cole Wisniewski (hamstring)
EDGE Keyshawn James-Newby (ankle)
LIMITED PARTICIPATION: LB Chance Campbell (groin)
NOT ON THE TEAM-ISSUED INJURY REPORT BUT DIDN’T TAKE 100% OF THE REPS: OT Lane Johnson and OG Landon Dickerson were seemingly being load managed, which is sensible. Markel Bell rotated in at first-team right tackle and Drew Kendall rotated in at first-team left guard.
Speaking of Lane, he revealed that 2026 is “probably” going to be his final NFL season .
IN-PRACTICE INJURIES: C Cam Jurgens wasn’t listed on the injury report despite leaving Friday’s practice early. That was good to see. But Jurgens left practice early again for the second day in a row, albeit late in the session. Something to continue to monitor. Kendall took first-team center reps after Jurgens left.
Depth running backs Elijah Mitchell and Dameon Pierce left practice early and did not return.
JALEN HURTS UPDATE: Another practice from Hurts that left me more encouraged about his outlook than not. Stock up!
THE GOOD: Hurts connected with a crossing Hollywood Brown on the right side of the field. If I’m nitpicking, the ball was slightly behind his target, but still entirely catchable.
Hurts hit Brown again on a crosser, this time on the left side of the field in the red zone, for a catch-and-run touchdown with Saquon Barkley preventing Zack Baun from stopping the receiver short of the goal line.
Hurts made a nice pre-snap read to recognize Wicks was going to be open between the hashes and the numbers. Hurts quickly put a ball on his target for a good gain.
Hurts hit Wicks over the middle in stride for first down yardage.
It’s clear that Hurts and Wicks have chemistry. And that’s crucial since Hurts has a tendency to especially lean into the targets he trusts … and avoid the ones he doesn’t.
Hurts got the defensive line to bite on a pump fake that freed up a short dump off to Johnny Mundt.
Hurts took a quarterback draw to the end zone. He’s looked pretty spry as a runner.
Hurts completed a pass to Moore over the middle with timing.
Hurts may have been “sacked” on this play … but he floated a ball to Goedert in the front right corner of the end zone that allowed the veteran tight end to make a jump ball grab at the catch point to beat Jihaad Campbell for a touchdown. Nice touch throw.
Hurts found a crossing Moore in the end zone for a successful two-point conversion.
THE BAD: Hurts threw the ball out of bounds on a rep where Wicks was open along the right sideline. Not sure if he sailed it or if it was a throwaway. Either way, it looked like there was a completion to be made and it wasn’t.
Hurts was fortunate not to get picked off on a throw intended for Moore. The ball was floated short of his target and it looked like a diving Zack Baun was going to get the interception … but Moore ripped it out of the linebacker’s control at the last moment to bail out his quarterback. Really good catch.
Baun did later intercept a Hurts pass. I can live with that mistake because it was an on-script throw and Hurts taking risks over the middle has been much more fruitful than not this summer. If this type of occasional turnover is the price to pay for an offense that’s more aggressive than it was last year, I think that’s a net positive.
Saquon Barkley had some good runs today with the offensive line opening up holes for him. One such instance came when the Eagles’ offense was backed up against their own end zone and Barkley got freed up for a long touchdown run. Barkley found the end zone on a short run to cap off a successful drive by the offense. After scoring, Barkley went up to Cooper DeJean and got in his face to rub it in. Barkley then got into a shoving match with Quinyon Mitchell … but it looked more playful than truly heated. Fun to see some competitive intensity.
Jordan Mailata was not flagged for what looked like a hold on a Barkley run to the left side but he probably should’ve been.
Jalen Carter notched multiple “sacks” today, which is no surprise since he’s lived in the backfield all training camp long. The more I see from him, the more I believe he’s going to have a monster season. He looks ready to dominate.
Jordan Davis also continues to look really good as both a run defender and a pass rusher.
Jalyx Hunt flushed Hurts from the pocket by getting pressure from the right side of the offensive line.
Jihaad Campbell had some really good run fits in this practice. That was good to see.
I’m going to have to put myself in the “Losers” section of my next W-L-IDKs for not seeing offensive line versus defensive line 1-on-1s today. Not sure how I managed to get distracted and miss them. Bad job by me. Outsourcing:
Just wrote out each of the OL/DL one-on-ones. Here are the key ones: – Jalyx Hunt nice inside move to beat Lane Johnson first rep – Tyler Steen great anchor vs Jalen Carter bullrush – Moro Ojomo beats Landon Dickerson with bend around the corner x2 – Markel Bell anchors well…

Ty Robinson shows up today. He wins two one-on-ones vs. Drew Kendall.

The highlight of OL vs. DL 1-on-1s was Willie Lampkin. He got three reps and shut down Gabe Hall twice at guard and then Zion Wilson from the center position. ...
