blur 25 Eagles training camp questions, answered

A clear view of how the Eagles wrapped up camp and what it could mean for the season.

Eagles training camp questions answered

From Jalen Hurts to the rookies, the Eagles wrapped a camp that highlighted both established strengths and positions to watch. Hurts showed quick release and solid accuracy in spring sessions, though joint practices without his top targets exposed occasional flaws. Tanner McKee impressed as the QB2 after two seasons behind the scenes, while Jahan Dotson stepped into a larger role with Brown and Smith limited by injuries. The offense still runs through Brown and Smith, but Dotson’s growth could matter if those two miss time this season.

On defense, the battles were real across edge, interior line, and the secondary. Young players like Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt have shifted into bigger roles, while Jihaad Campbell’s health and role remain a focal point for Week 1. The cornerback job beside Kai Mitchell is unsettled, with Adoree Jackson and rookie Mac McWilliams in the mix and the team adding Jakorian Bennett via trade. In the secondary, Sydney Brown, Andrew Mukuba, and Tristin McCollum competed for the other safety spot, creating depth that didn’t exist in recent years. Special teams saw changes at long snapper with Charley Hughlett stepping in after Lovato’s inconsistent snaps.

Key Takeaways

✔️
Hurts remains the steady center of the offense even as personnel shift around him
✔️
McKee has earned a legitimate shot to back up Hurts and could shape 2025 trades
✔️
Dotson is evolving into a bigger factor if primary receivers are unavailable
✔️
Cornerback depth remains the most uncertain area in the starting lineup
✔️
Edge and interior line depth look improved but must stay healthy
✔️
Rodging group of rookies will test the coaching staff’s development plan
✔️
Howie Roseman’s willingness to trade adds a layer of risk and potential upside

"Steen earned the starting spot outright"

RG competition concluded with Steen winning the job

"Depth at corner will define the ceiling for this season"

Unsettled CB3 spot with Ringo and Jackson

"Continuity on offense helps Hurts adapt to constant change"

Hurts and coaching staff navigate annual changes

"Roseman could swing a roster move this summer"

Trade activity on the horizon

The camp underscored a simple fact about this Eagles team: depth will shape its ceiling. The offense benefits from continuity, even as Hurts adapts to year three under a new wave of coaches. The rest-first approach in practice signals a conscious effort to stay fresh for a demanding season, but it also places extra pressure on the next wave of playmakers to prove they can handle pressure when starts count.

Defensively, the mix of proven players and bold youth offers upside with a caveat. Campbell’s early return and the growth shown by Ojulari, Uche, and Ojomo give Fangio options, but the cornerback and safety spots are still unsettled. If Ringo, McWilliams, or Mukuba can emerge as reliable Week 1 starters, the defense could flex well. If not, opponents will test the middle and the edges early, especially with a demanding opening slate. The roster moves suggest a flexible plan from Howie Roseman, but trades alone won’t fix on-field gaps. The season will hinge on who steps up when the lights turn on.

Highlights

  • Depth will decide the season’s ceiling
  • The real competition is in the corners this year
  • Continuity on offense keeps Hurts moving forward
  • Rest days are a hint at a bigger plan for 2025

The real test begins when the games count.
