Eagles training camp observations: A deep ball to A.J. Brown originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Eagles held a practice that lasted 1 hour and 46 minutes on an absolutely perfect morning with temperatures barely hitting 70 degrees.
This was a practice in shorts and shells before what should be a more intense, fully-padded practice on Wednesday morning. This practice saw a lot of 2-minute and 4-minute situations.
Let’s get to the notes:
1. As always, we start with housekeeping:
Did not practice: Matt Hennessy (back), Albert Okwuegbunam (abdomen), John Ross (concussion), Tyler Steen (ankle), Caden Sterns (knee), Johnny Wilson (concussion)
Returned to practice: Gabe Hall (hamstring), E.J. Jenkins (knee), Joseph Ngata (ankle), Moro Ojomo (hip); Mekhi Becton also practiced after leaving Sunday’s practice early with an undisclosed injury.
Other notes: Rookie guard Trevor Keegan left practice early with a trainer. Saquon Barkley was getting stretched out by a trainer and then didn’t do any more team drills. Dallas Goedert didn’t participate in team drills on Tuesday and it looked like Josh Sweat didn’t either.
2. Some depth chart notes:
• The Eagles began the day again with Devin White and Zack Baun at linebacker but mixed in Nakobe Dean and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. after that. Oren Burks, who missed most of camp with a knee injury, got some second-team LB reps.
• The top cornerbacks to start Tuesday were Darius Slay and Quinyon Mitchell. The rookie bumped inside on nickel downs and was replaced by Isaiah Rodgers. Kelee Ringo got some first-team reps later in the practice.
• Cooper DeJean got more second-team work in the nickel and also outside.
• Parris Campbell and Britain Covey continue to split the WR3 reps. Remember, Johnny Wilson and John Ross are both out with concussions.
• During team periods, the Eagles pulled Lane Johnson and Becton out after about half the reps. They were replaced by Fred Johnson at right tackle and Brett Toth/Nick Gates…
