In the present day marked the fourth Philadelphia Eagles coaching camp observe forward of the 2023 season. Right here’s what I noticed on the NovaCare Complicated. NOTE: Keep tuned for right this moment’s BGN Radio observe recap podcast that might be embedded straight beneath as soon as the episode goes stay.
EAGLES PRACTICE NOTES
• The Eagles had been sporting pads for the primary time this summer time. As anticipated, they didn’t stay sort out to the bottom … however the additional safety allowed for a extra bodily observe. It was the longest session of camp to this point.
• JALEN HURTS WATCH: Hurts is on fireplace proper now. After delivering a pointy observe on Sunday, he appeared nice once more on Tuesday morning. The fourth-year quarterback precisely distributed the ball to totally different targets everywhere in the discipline. To no shock, the Hurts to A.J. Brown connection was particularly deadly. The spotlight play got here when Hurts aired it out and put the ball proper on Brown’s palms ultimately zone for a 60-yard landing with James Bradberry trailing in protection. Hurts additionally hit Brown on an out to the left sideline and a curl route for a primary down. Hurts threw a rope to DeVonta Smith, who managed to get open deep on an prolonged play. He hit Smitty in stride once more simply alongside the left sideline in 7-on-7. Hurts additionally had a very nice anticipation throw to Dallas Goedert that hit the tight finish over the center precisely as he got here out of his break. On the danger of jinxing him, Hurts has nonetheless but to throw an interception in coaching camp. Good to see him stacking robust outings like this. Top off!
• EAGLES INJURY REPORT: Haason Reddick, Avonte Maddox, and Derek Barnett are nonetheless restricted. Devon Allen remains to be on the NFI listing. Deon Cain is a brand new addition to the report; he missed observe with an ankle harm.
• A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are trying actually, actually good. I missed this play whereas I used to be centered on OL vs. DL:
finest catch of Eagles coaching camp up to now:
DeVonta Smith matched up with Darius Slay in 1-on-1s.
Slay was throughout Smith with nice protection, Jalen Hurts’ go appeared to be off the mark, however Smith created separation on the veryyyy final second to snag it.

• Offensive line vs. defensive position notes: Josh Sweat and Jordan Davis ran a stunt the place Davis (who is large and may take up area) opened up room for Sweat to get a sack. Transferring to extra of the pure 1-on-1 motion: Davis bought completely stuffed by Landon Dickerson … Cam Jurgens held his personal towards Fletcher Cox and later staved off Marlon Tuipulotu … Derek Barnett bought pushed into the bottom whereas making an attempt to go across the fringe of Jordan Mailata … Jalen Carter gave Tyler Steen some hassle … Nolan Smith completely dusted Chim Okorafor … Kyron Johnson (apparently now not enjoying off-ball LB like he did in OTAs) beat Fred Johnson with a dip and rip that earned reward from teammates … Patrick Johnson proved to be an excessive amount of for Trevor Reid … Milton Williams flashed energy and bought the very best of Sua Opeta a number of occasions … Dennis Kelly shut down Tarron Jackson.
• The Eagles’ working backs had been getting overmatched once I appeared over at them making an attempt to dam linebackers in 1-on-1. Rashaad Penny in all probability held up the very best? D’Andre Swift didn’t even look very thinking about stopping Nakobe Dean. Christian Elliss simply beat Kennedy Brooks. Nicholas Morrow used a spin to get round Kenneth Gainwell.
• Terrell Edmunds was again at first workforce security. However the Eagles broke up some three security steps with Reed Blankenship and Okay’Von Wallace on the again finish with Edmunds lining up within the field.
• Mekhi Garner laid out Charleston Rambo after the receiver caught a brief go (No. 43 on No. 43 crime). Undoubtedly an enormous hit that you just’d prefer to see your defender make in a sport however not so certain the coaches like it as a lot. Garner is similar man who punted the ball after making an interception in OTAs, which prompted Nick Sirianni to chew him out.
• Josh Jobe put an enormous pop on Dan Arnold after the tight finish caught a brief go and took off working up the sector. This rep jogged my memory of Jobe’s (rubbish time) massive hit within the Eagles’ blowout playoff win over the New York Giants. Dude can lay the wooden:
• Joseph Ngata made an over-the-shoulder catch for a deep landing in 1-on-1. The UDFA WR continues to push for a roster spot.
• One other powerful day for Marcus Mariota. We’ve beforehand famous that he’s not being helped by an overmatched second-team offensive line. Nonetheless, it’d be good to see fewer errors. He merely overthrew Dan Arnold to get picked off by Okay’Von Wallace right this moment. To his credit score, Mariota responded to that mistake by coming again and throwing a pleasant strike to Greg Ward for a primary down on the very subsequent rep. That play drew some reward from Sirianni.
• Rashaad Penny and D’Andre Swift had been getting some work in with assistant head coach/working backs coach Jemal Singleton through the particular groups interval. Miles Sanders used to work with Singleton throughout that point. Kenneth Gainwell, Trey Sermon, and Boston Scott all participated in ST drills.
• Penny had a pleasant run on a stretch play to the best facet. Took benefit of a gap and hit it arduous.
• Grasping Williams has been flagged a number of occasions for being too grabby. In the present day it was a defensive holding on Britain Covey. To his credit score, Grasping had tight protection on a slant goal to Tyrie Cleveland to assist power an incompletion.
• Nonetheless ready for the primary Nakobe Dean flashy observe second for the reason that workforce drafted him.
• Brett Toth is absolutely combating snapping the ball. It’s to the purpose the place, as Jimmy Kempski famous in right this moment’s BGN Radio observe recap podcast, the Eagles ought to think about using a distinct second-team heart with a view to keep away from having observe reps ruined.
• Jake Elliott was good on his discipline aim makes an attempt that began off observe. No shock there.
UP NEXT: Eagles gamers have off on Wednesday earlier than returning to observe on Thursday at 10:00 AM Japanese.
