In the 15th Eagles training camp practice, the session was light (about 70 minutes) with DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon back in action. Eli Stowers is dealing with a hamstring injury, and Cole Wisniewski has entered concussion protocol. Dameon Pierce and Byron Young returned in limited fashion; Gabe Hall was banged up. Jalen Hurts had a mixed day, connecting with Goedert, Moore, and Brown but facing heavy interior pressure from Vic Fangio’s defense and some errant throws. Tanner McKee led the QB2 reps with Dalton contributing; the defense largely controlled the day. Roster moves included releasing safety J.T. Gray and waiving Ja’Quinden Jackson. Next up are more practices and the preseason schedule.
Ja’Quinden Jackson, the Eagles’ running back, was taken off the field by ambulance after a scary moment on the opening kickoff of a preseason game.

Day 2 of the Eagles–Patriots joint practices in Foxborough featured a strong late red-zone drive for the Eagles led by Jalen Hurts (connects with Goedert, Wicks and Brown for a TD and a two-point conversion) after a day of uneven moments. A.J. Brown won several red-zone reps against Quinyon Mitchell, while Kelee Ringo endured a rough outing.

The Eagles’ bid to name a clear No. 2 quarterback remained unresolved after a 24-7 preseason loss to the Ravens. Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee offered little on eight drives, totaling 77 yards and no points, while fifth-round rookie Cole Payton sparked the lone scoring drive. Head coach Nick Sirianni called the game vanilla but stressed the competition isn’t decided and will continue next week.
Baltimore opened Jesse Minter’s head‑coaching era with a 24-7 preseason win over the Eagles, featuring a dominant defense and an offense that got young playmakers involved early. Rookie pass‑catchers Vega Ioane, Ja’Kobi Lane, Elijah Sarratt, Mathew Hibner and UDFA Joe Fagnano stood out, while Tyler Loop’s missed field goal drew attention. The staff reactions were largely bullish, highlighting growth and excitement for the 2026 season as the Ravens gear up for the next two preseason games and Week 1.
Philadelphia kicks off its three-game preseason against the Ravens, a proving ground for a newly installed offense under Sean Mannion and for ongoing roster battles. The game should illuminate the No. 2 quarterback situation between Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee, while also exposing depth concerns along the offensive line and secondary. Watch list includes undrafted WR Darius Cooper, interior OL Willie Lampkin, and tackles like Myles Hinton, plus rookies Uar Bernard and Joshua Weru and other depth players as the Eagles sort to the 53-man roster. Vic Fangio has praised Jalen Hurts’ progress in the new scheme, and coach Nick Sirianni plans to keep starters limited, using practice time and joint sessions to prep rather than risk injuries in August.
Ahead of the first preseason game, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said the focus will be on executing the operation, clean assignments, and extreme effort, with players rotating reps to gain live experience. He praised Jalen Hurts’s consistency and explosiveness, discussed balancing the new offense with ball security, and noted that roster decisions—especially at wide receiver and along the line—remain fluid as the team tests versatility and builds depth without revealing game plans.
