Mitchell, Woolen shine in Eagles open practice as Hurts faces tough night

At the Eagles' open practice at Lincoln Financial Field, CB Quinyon Mitchell broke up a goal-line pass and drew praise for his coverage, while CB Riq Woolen flashed with two early interceptions including a pick-six to energize the crowd. WR DeVonta Smith rebounded from early drops with a clutch crossing catch, and DE Jaylx Hunt dominated the edge against a fill-in RT, signaling a potential breakout. QB Jalen Hurts had a choppy night with pockets collapsing and some throws off target, though he found some rhythm later; RT Fred Johnson struggled filling in for Lane Johnson.

Makai Lemon Returns to Full Participation as Eagles Camp Nears Week 1

Makai Lemon was removed from the injury report and participated fully in Day 15 of Eagles training camp, getting reps with the first-team offense (primarily in the slot) as DeVonta Smith also practiced; the session was light with limited repetitions for backups, and the Eagles set up a public practice for Tuesday at the Linc. On the roster front, Moro Ojomo and Jalyx Hunt starred on defense while several rookies appeared on the new injury list; the team released S J.T. Gray and waived/injured RB Ja’Quinden Jackson. As the team nears Week 1, Hurts and the starting skill players like Brown, Goedert, and Wicks continued to show chemistry in drills.

Eagles Camp Day 12: Safety Battle Heats Up as Carter Shines

Day 12 of Eagles camp was a light shell practice ahead of joint sessions with the Patriots. Returnees included DeVonta Smith and Cooper DeJean; Michael Carter stood out on defense with an interception of Jalen Hurts and a blitz sack, strengthening his case as the starting sub-package safety opposite Andrew Mukuba, with Marcus Epps currently leading that role. Saquon Barkley showed an expanded route tree in camp, OL-DL 1-on-1s were not particularly spirited, Hollywood Brown flashed a burst, and a few pass breakups occurred. A clip from Saturday’s preseason game surfaced, and fuller notes are expected after the Patriots practices.

Eagles Day 12: Smith Returns, DeJean and Mitchell Back Ahead of Patriots Joint Practices

Day 12 of Eagles training camp featured DeVonta Smith returning in a limited role while Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean came back from injuries; several players were sidelined or limited. The first-team defense rotated with Mitchell/DeJean later replaced by Ringo and Carter II as Wisniewski returned from a long layoff. Vic Fangio dialed up more blitz pressure, and Michael Carter II delivered a highlight nickel-play while Jalen Hurts showed arm strength on several passes, including a notable completion to Hollywood Brown for YAC. The Eagles signed CB Isaiah Bolden and head to New England for joint practices with the Patriots before preseason Week 2.

Hurts Sparks Eagles in First-Pads Day as Camp Battles Begin

Rain moved Day 4 indoors, but the Eagles still had their first padded practice of camp with Hurts and the starting offense finding rhythm. Highlights included a deep ball to Dontavyion Wicks, a red-zone TD to DeVonta Smith, and a 40-yard strike to Elijah Moore, signaling improvement from Hurts. The day also featured a plus from Andy Dalton, ongoing roster questions at right tackle (Fred Johnson starting with Markel Bell getting first-team reps), and injury notes (Jonathan Greenard on Active/PUP; Lane Johnson excused; several others limited). Makai Lemon appeared but did not participate in team drills, and rookies like Cole Payton and Uar Bernard showed flashes amid depth battles. A few 7-on-7 miscommunications and QB-run concepts also emerged as the camp continues.

Five 2026 Fantasy Targets Set to Beat Their ADP

The piece spotlights five players as smart 2026 fantasy draft targets likely to outperform their ADP: Chase Brown could anchor Cincinnati’s high-powered offense with Burrow healthy; A.J. Brown should benefit in New England with Drake Maye at quarterback; DeVonta Smith could become Philly’s top target after Brown’s departure; Tucker Kraft may emerge as Green Bay’s primary receiver once healthy; and Trevor Lawrence is positioned for top-10 fantasy production in a loaded Jacksonville attack. ADP figures cited are a consensus from ESPN, Yahoo!, and Sleeper.

Eagles' WR redesign hinges on Brown trade, reshaping DeVonta Smith's role

The Eagles’ 2026 WR corps will look different: Jahan Dotson is out, Marquise Brown, Dontayvion Wicks, and Elijah Moore are in, and A.J. Brown’s status remains uncertain. If Brown is traded, DeVonta Smith becomes the clear top target, Wicks could emerge as the WR2 with strong run-blocking, and a rookie or other addition will contest the third spot; if Brown stays, Smith and Brown would form a premier duo with Wicks as a key complementary piece and more Day 2 receiver options likely added in the draft.
