Eagles stock up, stock down after 1st week of 2024 training camp originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

It’s very early in Eagles training camp — the pads aren’t even on yet — but we’ve now seen three practices this summer.

So it’s time for a stock watch from early in training camp.

Remember, things can change, especially when the pads come on. So take all of this with a grain of salt. But here are some “stock up” and “stock down” players from the first three days of training camp:

Of course, a big part of the TE2 role is to block and we’ll learn more about his progress in that area when the pads come on.

CB Isaiah Rodgers

During the spring, Rodgers didn’t show any signs of rust after a year suspension and he’s kept it up in training camp. He’s given up some catches but so have all the corners; it’s tough to cover Brown and Smith. But what’s notable is that Rodgers got the first reps as a first-team cornerback to…
