Eagles training camp observations Day 16: Jalen Hurts finally throws INT, banner day for Kenneth Gainwell

PHILADELPHIA — Training camp practice has finally concluded. The Philadelphia Eagles had 16 open practices (including a joint practice) to gauge their team and evaluate where they stand heading into the 53-man roster deadline on Tuesday. 

The bubble players on the Eagles still have one more preseason game to show the front office and coaching staff they belong on the 53-man roster, with two walkthroughs preceding the exhibition finale. 

This camp was one of the longest ones in the Nick Sirianni era, with practices going an average of 20 minutes longer and more plays being run. 

“This camp did feel longer,” Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson said. “We had one joint practice, so that was different. But it did feel longer. I felt like our emphasis on ball security was good. I don’t think we had as many turnovers as we did last year, at least in preseason and training camp. So that was an emphasis. 

‘For us, it’s about, whoever is in there the communication is good. We’re not having any missed assignments, so that’s progress in a good direction.”

With one of the longest training camps in recent memory coming to a close, this is the final training camp observations of the summer. Next time the Eagles hold a full practice open to the media will be in OTAs next May. 

The streak is over
