Eagles training camp observations: Will Shipley flashes his hands

Eagles training camp observations: Will Shipley flashes his hands originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

After an off day on Sunday, the Eagles were back on the field Monday for a practice that lasted 1 hour and 17 minutes on a mostly overcast morning.

The Eagles were in shorts but will have their first padded practice of the summer Tuesday.

In general, this was the first day of practice that I’d give a pretty clear win to the defense. The offense looked great the first three days of camp but the defense made more plays on Monday.

Let’s get to the observations:

1. As always, housekeeping:

Did not practice: Saquon Barkley (personal), Oren Burks (knee), Lane Johnson (toe), Tyler Steen (ankle)

Limited: Brett Toth (hamstring)

The injury to Johnson isn’t considered to be serious; he’s day-to-day. Steen got injured during Saturday’s practice and will miss at least a few days. Burks has not practiced since getting hurt the first day. Toth finally got on the field after missing the first three days.

Rookie left guard Trevor Keegan also left practice early with a trainer.

2. Some offensive depth chart notes:

• The most important development from Monday’s practice was probably that Mekhi Becton worked as the first-team right guard in place of Steen. It’s even more notable that he worked there despite the absence of Johnson. The Eagles could have just plugged Becton in at right tackle but it’s pretty clear they want to see him at right guard. He could be a very legitimate threat to Steen’s starting position.

First-team offensive line: Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, Becton, Fred Johnson

Second-team: Anim Dankwah, Trevor Keegan, Dylan McMahon, Matt Hennessy, Darian Kinnard

Third-team: Laekin Vakalahi, Max Scharping, Dylan McMahon, Jason Poe, Darian Kinnard

It’s worth noting that McMahon took over for Hennessy as the backup center. That had been Hennessy’s job for the first three days of camp. So either McMahon has been performing well enough…
