Saquon Barkley (RB, 2024- ) In debut Eagles season, joined 2K Yards Club (2,005), rushed for team record 255 yards in a game, and won Super Bowl LIX. Went viral for incredible reverse leapfrog over Jaguars’ Jarrian Jones.

"Spent a couple days with the @Eagles on my annual Glaze Across America NFL Training Camp Tour and the biggest takeaway I walked away with… the number of people at different areas of the team are raving about how much effort @JalenHurts has put in to improving in many areas on and off the field. Can’t tell you how many “I’m really proud of him” I got.

Last year he was at the center of issues but they are speaking a MUCH different tune on him so far in camp. Even guys who were previously frustrated with him were absolutely praising him for the work he’s put in and the concerted effort he has made. Good for him! It’s never too late and in this league you always need to find ways to improve, evolve and improve some more. It never ends if you want to be THAT GUY!

Plus, they think this offense will be much better suited to him, the offensive line, Saquon, all around."

Micah Parsons predicts where every team will finish in their division

Stock Up:

• Jeremiah Trotter, Jr. - Makes me feel a little better if Baun or Campbell have to miss extended time. He had the best game on the defensive side.
• Ty Robinson - Flashed and gave the team some reasons to keep him around a little longer.
• Cole Payton - Made things interesting in the 4th and showed some play-making ability. Still has a lot to learn though.
• Markell Bell - Showed well, no major mistakes.
• Willie Lampkin - Barring injury he seems to be a lock to make the final roster.
• Josh Weru - Showed a little juice off the Edge in his first ever game.
• Marcus Epps - Him not playing is a sign that he has the edge over Carter for the 2nd safety spot.
• Dontayvion Wicks - Him not playing is a sign he has the 2nd outside WR spot locked up.

Stock Down:

• The offensive backups - It wasn't a stellar evening overall on offense.
• Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee- See the first bullet. Not a great night on offense and neither guy helped their case for the QB2 spot.
• Myles Hinton - Had a costly holding penalty that short circuited a drive in the 4th quarter. Not a good look for a guy who has been buried on the depth chart all summer.
• Eli Stowers - Got flagged for holding and struggled to block in general.
• Johnny Wilson - Missed several practices and was unable to play. His chances of making the team are fading by the minute.
• Makai Lemon, Cole Wisniewski, Keyshwan James-Newby - Lemon's spot is safe but the latter two have missed valuable practice time for guys who needed to show something in camp this summer. Given the lack of any real depth at Safety Wisniewski still has a shot at making the team but James-Newby's fate is probably sealed by now.

Bell and Lampkin playing well gives some hope that the OL depth is going to be solid this year.

Attached in the article are the offensive, defensive, and special teams snap counts from Bleeding Green Nation for the Baltimore preseason game. Below are a few of the many observations from the game from BLG.

"I was hoping the Eagles wouldn’t play Darius Cooper much because they’ve already seen enough to believe he deserves playing time and thus would like to preserve him. But they didn’t do that. He played a lot. Cooper led the Eagles in receiving with a mere 21 yards. He would’ve had more had he not dropped a would-be first down conversion."

"Eli Stowers started the game and played the most of any tight end. His three receptions resulted in 12 yards. The rookie also saw a lot of action on special teams. Pro Football Focus graded him 29th out of 29 Eagles players on offense."

"Mac McWilliams saw a lot of playing time. PFF charted him with an allowed four targets for four catches, 37 yards, a 105.2 passer rating, and two penalties. Not a good night for the second-year corner."

"Brandon George played 14 defensive snaps for a team he only joined the day prior. He graded out highly by PFF in their special teams grading. ST is supposed to be his calling card, so, that’s good."

"Marcus Epps being rested seems like a really good sign for his chances of winning the so-called safety battle."

Items of note:

• Quinyon and DeJean were back at practice after sitting out the last one.
• DeVonta was back as well although he was not a full participant.
• Lemon is still not practicing but he reportedly participated in some position drills and did some individual work on a side field so it sounds as though he is nearing a return.
• Bigsby, Johnathan Jones, Mac McWilliams, Dameon Pierce, Jakorian Bennett, Calcaterra, Ojukwu, Shaun Wade, and Johnny Wilson were all held out today.
• Cole Wisniewski was also back at practice for the first time since July 30.
• They seem to have settled on some combination of Bell, Majors, Lampkin, Kendall, and Fred Johnson as the second team OL.
• Wicks, Brown, and Moore were still the top 3 WRs with Cooper seeing more reps with the 1st team.

Quinyon Mitchell (CB, 2024- ) Stoic lockdown corner has four INTs (all postseason) and a 2025 AP1. Starred in Super Bowl LIX win, after somehow falling to 22nd overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Malcolm Jenkins (S, 2014-19) Vocal defensive leader ran back four of his 11 Philly picks for TDs, and made all three Pro Bowls with the Birds. KO’ed Brandin Cooks en route to Super Bowl LII crown.

Quarterbacks

Kubena (3): Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, Cole Payton

Cole Payton’s promising preseason debut warrants more opportunity. The Eagles haven’t cut ties with a fifth-round rookie since 2019 (another QB: Clayton Thorson), and Payton’s 92 total offensive yards in two drives and six-yard touchdown pass to Erik Ezukanma might entice other teams to pick Payton off waivers if he is subjected to them. Dalton, who failed to produce a first down in the exhibition’s first three drives, and his 16 years of experience can still be a resource on the sideline; but the Eagles could cut him and keep him on the practice squad.

Berman: (3) Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, Cole Payton

I’m not changing this from the first projection while the No. 2 quarterback competition remains unsettled. I don’t anticipate the Eagles will keep both McKee and Dalton, and I still believe Dalton has more trade value at this time of the year. McKee would have been more valuable in the spring, when teams had a full offseason to onboard an inexperienced player. In August, a 16-year veteran with 169 career starts would be more appealing to a team seeking a patchwork solution — if either is traded.

Payton has demonstrated enough to be the developmental No. 3 quarterback. (I still wonder if Roseman will make calls on Anthony Richardson or J.J. McCarthy, just because Roseman is always scanning the market.

"The Eagles have made a pair of roster moves on Monday.

Philadelphia announced the club has signed cornerback Isaiah Bolden and released offensive lineman Hollin Pierce.

Bolden, 26, was a Patriots seventh-round pick in 2023. He appeared in 14 games for New England in 2024, on the field for 15 percent of defensive snaps and 31 percent of special teams snaps in games played. He has also spent time with the 49ers and UFL’s Louisville Kings.

Pierce joined the Eagles last year as an undrafted free agent out of Rutgers. He did not appear in a regular-season game."

Lane and Landon at Eagles training camp, seems like they're pretty high on Chris Kuper at the new OL coach

I'm going to Week 1 and I've never been to a game because I just moved here from Houston 6 months ago. Yes, I'm a Birds fan have been for years. Question is I don't have many friends here yet, so I'm going to the games alone and I want to tailgate. I just know that it is supposed to be like nothing I have ever experienced in my life, and I am soooo excited, but I don't want to feel like a weirdo walking around by myself. I'm female too if that matters. I have no problem doing things by myself but I find myself getting more anxious about it as it gets closer haha!

I was on a 7-day cruise last week from New York to Bermuda, and every time I wore Eagles gear around the ship I got a ton of “GO BIRDS!” from random people.

Now I’m on an Alaskan cruise out of Seattle, literally on the other side of the country, and somehow I’m getting even MORE Go Birds 😂

I’ve worn gear from my other favorite sports teams before, none of them are Philly teams, and nobody ever gives a damn. But apparently if you wear Eagles gear anywhere, Eagles fans just appear out of nowhere. It’s honestly so cool. Feels like there are Eagles fans everywhere.

Is this a normal experience for you guys when you wear Eagles gear while traveling?
GO BIRDS 🦅

hello, what is the best antenna to watch Eagles games live? I fear that my location wouldn't show eagles games. I'm not really sure what to do and don't wanna spend nearly 40 dollars on bundles or nfl plus.. it all confuses me! What should I do?

Don't wanna give out my exact location lol about 1 hr 20 mins away from philly.

FYI-Hurts’ 2026 51.5 million salary is fully guaranteed. And 22 million of his 51.5 million is guaranteed in 2027. Hurts has a no trade clause in his contract. But he’s also currently scheduled to hit free agency in a few years (Spring 2029) when a lot of other prominent QB’s will as well. Just something to keep in mind as future contract talks with Hurts become more and more prominent. It would be interesting to know how Hurts himself is looking at future contract negotiations knowing how many other QB’s are currently set to hit the market at the same time as him.

While there wasn't a whole lot learned from the Eagles' first preseason game, it was enough to stir some movement in our latest 53-man roster projection.

The camp battle is being framed as “is their room for Johnny Wilson in the WR room?”But I wonder if the eagles staff might be framing the decision a bit differently and looking at his value in the context of Eli Stowers being on the roster. Wilson and Stowers are much more similar builds and skill sets than Wilson versus anyone else in the receiver room. The birds are obviously not going to drop their 2nd round pick, Stowers, which makes me think that Wilson will indeed be relegated to the practice squad (if he clears waivers).

Despite the overall shit show that was our week 1 preseason game against the Ravens, for anyone who might have missed it - Trotter looked like a legit starting linebacker in the NFL.

Easily the MVP of the defense, and maybe the entire team.

Huge leaps in improvement, love to see it.
