The Philadelphia Eagles continued their training camp at the NovaCare Complex on Day 3, with Jalen Hurts standing out and Mitchell making an impression at slot cornerback. The team practiced for 90 minutes, with plenty of action on the field and interesting developments in the depth chart.
One notable event was Tyler Steen’s injury. Steen started at right guard but left the field during the third-team session. This gave Darian Kinnard an opportunity to showcase his skills at guard. The Eagles are keeping a close eye on Steen’s injury as he competes with Mekhi Becton for the starting right guard position.
Another point of interest was the players wearing guardian caps during practice. These caps are designed to protect players from head injuries and may be worn during games starting in 2024. Several skill-position players, including A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, were seen wearing the guardian caps during practice.
The wide receivers had a mixed day, with a few drops during drills but impressive catches during team sessions. Britain Covey and DeVonta Smith made some standout plays, showcasing their skills and potential impact on the team’s offense.
In terms of the depth chart, several changes were observed during practice. Landon Dickerson returned to left guard, while Parris Campbell lined up as the WR3. Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean started as linebackers, and Quinyon Mitchell impressed as the slot cornerback.
The 1-on-1 battles between wide receivers and cornerbacks provided some exciting moments during practice. Jalen Hurts displayed his speed and accuracy, connecting with his receivers on deep routes. DeVonta Smith and Parris Campbell stood out with their catches, while Quinyon Mitchell showed strong coverage skills against the wide receivers.
Overall, the practice session showcased the team’s depth and talent across different positions. Jalen Hurts looked sharp, while young players like Quinyon Mitchell and Jalyx Hunt made positive impressions on the coaching staff. As the Eagles continue their training camp, fans can expect more exciting developments and competition for starting positions.
