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.
