blur Eagles 2025 training camp practice notes, Day 14: Sloppy against the Browns

Day 14 featured the first Eagles Browns joint practice with notable injuries and on field battles that left questions about roster depth.

Eagles Day 14 practice shows uneven play against Browns

Day 14 at Eagles practice was the first joint session with the Browns, and it laid out a mix of injuries, competitive moments and worrying wear on the depth chart. A.J. Brown did not practice because of a hamstring issue, joining Landon Dickerson (knee) and Elijah Cooks (shoulder) on the sidelines. A handful of players were limited, including Zack Baun, Gabe Hall, Myles Hinton, Montrell Johnson and Byron Young, as the team managed a crowded camp ahead of the preseason.

On the field, the Browns brought a high level of intensity. A pivotal moment involved Kelee Ringo, who faced Jerry Jeudy and chose a risky path that led to a catch and yards after the catch. The moment instantly fed a coaching critique and put Ringo under renewed scrutiny as the outside corner spot opposite Quintyone Mitchell remains unsettled. Jakorian Bennett flashed with a pass breakup on Jeudy, but gave up several completions afterward, underscoring the challenge of defending a Browns offense in live practice.

Jalen Hurts appeared off rhythm at times, with timing issues and a few sacks as Browns defenders disrupted the tempo. Myles Garrett dominated Jordan Mailata in multiple reps, a reminder of the pressure the Eagles face at tackle. Garrett’s performance stood out even in a field with other sharp efforts, including a strong showing by Mitchell in coverage and DeVonta Smith continuing to produce consistently in these joint sessions. Will Shipley delivered a decisive run through a big hole and also stood up well in pass protection, while Azeez Ojulari showed bursts with at least one sack.

There was a sense of the Browns winning the overall tempo, with a chippy edge that spilled into a brief altercation involving Andre Sam on special teams. The day ended with a clear takeaway: the joint practice provided meaningful feedback for both teams as they prepare for the season. It was not a clean victory for the Eagles, but it offered a real measuring stick for what the team must sharpen before the next preseason tests.

Overall joint practice result as perceived by observer

This session highlighted how thin the Eagles’ immediate depth could be on the perimeter. Ringo’s misstep feeds questions about his readiness to push for outside CB2, and the Browns’ intensity in practice pushed the defense to react quickly. On offense, Hurts’s rhythm issues show that timing with receivers remains a work in progress against a smart Browns front. Yet the day also reinforced strengths: DeVonta Smith’s continued production and the growing clips of Will Shipley as a versatile blocker and runner. The atmosphere — competitive, sometimes physical — signals that Philadelphia will face a steady level of resistance from rivals aiming to test them as champions. The camp narrative now centers on refined technique and consistency at cornerback and quarterback timing under pressure.

Highlights

  • Ringo has to tackle not just close space
  • Garrett is the best player I have ever seen practice live
  • DeVonta Smith always cooks in joint practices
  • I'd give the Eagles a loss

The camp moves forward with more competition and a clearer sense of what still needs ironing out.
