When the Philadelphia Eagles drafted Alabama Crimson Tide linebacker Jihaad Campbell in the first round of the 2025 selection process, the organization acknowledged that it would take some time for the prospect to see the field.

PHILADELPHIA — “Smells like sunscreen,” Kevin Patullo said. That’s the smell of summer, of training camp, of a horde of reporters ready to be roasted by the South Philly sun. It’s also the smell of foresight, of preparation, of understanding the hazardous climate that will smolder you if you let it.

Eagles DB Cooper DeJean, the subject of a viral parody about his position, will take reps at safety in training camp.

One unexpected name is turning heads early in Eagles camp — and he’s suddenly leading the race for a key WR role over two 2024 rookies.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio spoke with the media on Thursday, and as always, he was honest and forthcoming. The Eagles' defense had a lot of turnover this offseason, and there are plenty of questions to be answered this summer on that side of the ball.

Also, Vic Fangio gives an early assessment of Jihaad Campbell, while the depth chart for the defensive front emerges.

"Toward the end of the Eagles’ first training camp practice on Wednesday, cornerback Kelee Ringo expressed his frustration by smacking his hands together. He was in good position on wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. near the left sideline, but he couldn’t knock it away from Marshall’s hands and gave up his third big catch of the day."
