TL;DR Summary

Day 1 of the Eagles' 2026 training camp featured a mostly healthy roster aside from Jonathan Greenard (PUP). The big takeaway was a clear shift to a Shanahan-style offense under new OC Sean Mannion, with more under-center snaps, play-action, and motion, while QB2 duties are rotating among Tanner McKee, Andy Dalton, and Cole Payton. DeVonta Smith and a group of receivers (including Makai Lemon and Hollywood Brown) worked with the first team, the o-line grouped into three units, and the defense mixed first- and second-team looks with Cooper DeJean at safety and Nolan Smith/Jalyx Hunt in the mix. Notable moments included Darius Cooper's 7-on-7 grab, Quinyon Mitchell’s pass breakups, Tank Bigsby’s hard running, and Payton’s early deep ball. Bernard showed development needed, while punt returners were Britain Covey, Elijah Moore, and Makai Lemon. Overall, optimistic about the new offense but aware there will be growing pains as the unit settles in.
