Eagles training camp observations: Playing through the rain originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
It was a rainy morning at the NovaCare Complex for Day 13 of training camp.
In shorts and shells, the Eagles practiced for 1 hour and 43 minutes through some pockets of somewhat heavy precipitation. This was a “yellow” day as the Eagles ramp back up.
They’ll be back at practice each of the next two days and then again on Wednesday and Thursday leading up to the third and final preseason game on Saturday afternoon at the Linc.

• Those injuries to Hall, Ngata, Jenkins and Ross are new. Steen seemed to aggravate his previous injury in Thursday’ game. Hennessy and Wilson were unable to play in the game. Sterns was signed last week but needs time before practicing.
• Limited: LB Oren Burks (knee), TE Grant Calcaterra (shoulder), S C.J. Gardner-Johnson, (shoulder), WR Parris Campbell (groin), DB Cooper DeJean (hamstring)

None of them participated in team drills. Campbell and DeJean did get some team reps today. CJGJ seemed especially excited as he returned to practice.
2. Some depth chart items:
• The day began with Devin White and Zack Baun at linebacker with the first-team defense but Nakobe Dean got some reps later. That has been the case most days this summer.
