Jalen HurtsNegativeRoleAug 13, 2026

Jalen Hurts became the first player in NFL history to throw an interception in practice, a notable practice event that reflects on Eagles QB performance during training camp.

Jayden DanielsPositiveRoleAug 13, 2026

Daniels continues his strong play in camp and looks to be in complete command of Blough's offense. Wide receivers were getting open at will during drills, indicating effective quarterback play and offensive execution.

Dak PrescottPositiveRoleAug 13, 2026

Dak's mobility remained a major weapon in the Cowboys' offense. Even when the Rams won coverage, Prescott's ability to extend plays and manipulate numbers created opportunities for Dallas, forcing one of the NFL's more intriguing new defenses to adjust its game plan.

Saquon BarkleyPositiveRoleAug 13, 2026

RB Saquon Barkley has been very engaged in camp, looked great, and has been vocal with teammates, talking trash and pushing them to be their best. The source notes 'There is value in this type of competitive connection. Barkley is pushing his teammates to be their best,' indicating strong leadership and competitive presence that may benefit team performance.

Eli StowersNegativeDepth ChartAug 13, 2026

TE Eli Stowers' depth chart status is unclear and concerning. The source states 'the Eagles aren't even pretending that Eli Stowers is a top two tight end right now' and notes that based on how the Eagles laid out the tight end depth chart, Stowers may not even be TE3. The source suggests Stowers might be a healthy scratch early in the season.

Darius CooperPositiveRoleAug 13, 2026

WR Darius Cooper has had a strong summer and leapfrogged rookie Makai Lemon on the depth chart. Cooper has made the most of extra reps, developed chemistry with Jalen Hurts, grown comfortable in the new offense, earned coach trust, and made consistent plays. The source notes he hasn't missed a rep and suggests he is now ahead in the WR rotation.

Elijah MoorePositiveRoleAug 13, 2026

WR Elijah Moore has had a strong summer and leapfrogged rookie Makai Lemon on the depth chart. Moore has made the most of extra reps, developed chemistry with Jalen Hurts, grown comfortable in the new offense, earned coach trust, and made consistent plays. The source notes he hasn't missed a rep and suggests he is now ahead in the WR rotation.

Dontayvion WicksPositiveRoleAug 13, 2026

WR Dontayvion Wicks has made the most of extra reps during camp and has leapfrogged rookie Makai Lemon on the depth chart. Wicks has developed chemistry with Jalen Hurts, grown comfortable in the new offense, earned the trust of coaches, and made play after play. The source notes he hasn't missed a rep and contrasts his consistent presence with Lemon's injury-plagued camp, suggesting Wicks is now ahead in the WR rotation.

Makai LemonNegativeDepth ChartAug 13, 2026

Rookie WR Makai Lemon is listed with the starters on the Eagles depth chart despite missing significant time in camp with hamstring injuries—first in spring practices, then another hamstring injury suffered Aug. 3 that has sidelined him for nearly two weeks and counting. The source expresses growing concern that Lemon may not be the WR2 by Week 1, noting he wasn't flashing even before the injury. Dontayvion Wicks, Elijah Moore, and Darius Cooper have leapfrogged him by making the most of extra reps and developing chemistry with Hurts. The source states 'it would be surprising if Lemon can earn that WR2 role by the opener' and that he has 'a lot of work to do in a short period of time' to make up for missed time.

Jalen HurtsNegativeRoleAug 13, 2026

Hurts threw an interception in practice to cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, which the Eagles' social-media team posted. The source notes internal frustration has been growing over Hurts playing 'his game' once the ball is snapped rather than executing plays as called; the Eagles expect him to run the offense as designed. However, the source also notes Hurts has had more ups than downs in camp overall and is described as a great player making plays against another great player.

Tank BigsbyNegativeRoleAug 12, 2026

Listed as the RB2 on the Eagles' depth chart and also as a kick returner option, indicating he has multiple roles in the offense and special teams.

Dameon PierceNegativeRoleAug 12, 2026

Listed as a kick returner on the Eagles' depth chart, with Will Shipley as the top option and Tank Bigsby also in the rotation.

Will ShipleyNegativeRoleAug 12, 2026

Listed as the top kick returner on the Eagles' depth chart, with Dameon Pierce and Tank Bigsby also in the rotation for that role.

Britain CoveyNegativeRoleAug 12, 2026

Listed as the top punt returner on the depth chart, which makes sense as he's probably the best option assuming Cooper DeJean is off the table due to his defensive role. However, the source is not sure Covey makes the roster.

Michael CarterPositiveRoleAug 12, 2026

Michael Carter II is listed at both nickel cornerback and safety on the depth chart. The source notes that Marcus Epps seems like a good bet to win the starting safety battle, but MC2 will still contribute as a dime defender in addition to providing depth at safety and nickel cornerback.

Tanner McKeeNegativeRoleAug 12, 2026

Competing with Andy Dalton for the backup quarterback role on the Eagles, with both rotating QB2 reps in camp. The depth chart lists them together, indicating an ongoing battle.

Andy DaltonPositiveRoleAug 12, 2026

Listed first among backup quarterbacks due to alphabetical order, but the source notes Dalton is also arguably in the lead in reality for the QB2 role, with a backup quarterback battle ongoing between him and Tanner McKee.

Jalen HurtsNegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026

Listed as the clear QB1 on the Eagles' depth chart, with Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee competing for the backup role.

Grant CalcaterraNegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026

Listed fourth on the Eagles' tight end depth chart behind Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt, and Eli Stowers, with Cameron Latu, E.J. Jenkins, and Stone Smartt also ahead in the rotation.

Eli StowersNegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026

The Eagles aren't pretending Stowers is a top two tight end on the depth chart. Based on the layout, the source suggests Stowers might not even be TE3 and could be a healthy scratch early in the season.

Dallas GoedertNegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026

Listed as the clear TE1 on the Eagles' depth chart, with Johnny Mundt as TE2 and Eli Stowers as TE3 or potentially lower in the tight end rotation.

Elijah MoorePositiveRoleAug 12, 2026

Elijah Moore had a strong summer in camp and is in consideration for starting wide receiver reps, potentially ahead of Makai Lemon. Moore is also listed as a punt returner option.

Darius CooperPositiveRoleAug 12, 2026

Darius Cooper had a strong summer in camp and is in consideration for starting wide receiver reps alongside Elijah Moore, potentially ahead of Makai Lemon. Additionally, Cooper was notably getting reps as a kick returner on Tuesday.

Makai LemonNegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026

Listed with the starters on the depth chart despite missing significant time in camp and not standing out prior to injury. The source suggests Lemon might not actually be a Week 1 starter with Cooper and Moore having strong summers, and there could be a heavier receiver rotation than in recent years.

DeVonta SmithNegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026

Listed as the WR1 on the Eagles' depth chart, with Hollywood Brown as WR2 and Johnny Wilson as WR3 in the first receiver group.

Will ShipleyNegativeRoleAug 12, 2026

Will Shipley is going to be RB3 on the Eagles roster, per the source's analysis of the depth chart positioning. The source notes this is not shocking but emphasizes the reality of his role regardless of preference.

Saquon BarkleyNegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026

Listed as the clear RB1 on the Eagles' first team-issued depth chart ahead of the 2026 season, with Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, Dameon Pierce, Carson Steele, and Ja'Quinden Jackson behind him in the running back rotation.

Elijah MitchellNegativeInjuryAug 12, 2026

Veteran running back released by Eagles from injured reserve with an injury settlement after getting banged up in practice. No longer with the team due to the injury.

Dae'Quan WrightPositiveRoleAug 12, 2026

UDFA tight end waived by Eagles and claimed by Cleveland Browns off waivers (sixth in claiming order). Had flashes during Eagles' spring practices and runs very hard after the catch, though he was having a quiet camp with limited reps. Source viewed him as one of the Eagles' more intriguing UDFA additions and was interested to see him in preseason action.

Stefon DiggsPositiveRoleAug 12, 2026

Stefon Diggs signed with Washington Commanders as free agent after team was in talks with him for some time; reached favorable agreement early enough to integrate him in time for regular season opener; will change Commanders offense under new coordinator David Blough's scheme.

Deshaun WatsonNegativeProjectionAug 12, 2026

Deshaun Watson returned from torn Achilles but is struggling badly in Browns training camp; 12 practices deep and already thrown 9 interceptions; looks like a has-been who doesn't understand his new physical limitations, can't fit ball into tight windows anymore, and throws lack the velocity needed to reach targets.

Dae'Quan WrightNegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026

Cleveland Browns signed 6'-4", 255-pound tight end Dae'Quan Wright from Eagles waiver to bolster depth; athletic profile but inconsistent blocker who went undrafted in April and was recently waived by Philadelphia.

Dae'Quan WrightNegativeRoleAug 12, 2026

Tight end Dae'Quan Wright, a 6-foot-4, 255-pound athletic tight end from Ole Miss, was signed by the Cleveland Browns after being waived by the Philadelphia Eagles. He went undrafted in April's NFL draft and has been inconsistent as a blocker.

Johnny MundtNegativeRoleAug 12, 2026

Tight end Johnny Mundt, in his 11th season, signed with the Eagles this offseason after winning Super Bowl LVI with the Rams and playing for the Jaguars. His role is defined by winning at the line of scrimmage as a great blocking tight end with 74 career catches (19 in both 2022 and 2024 with Minnesota). He brings point-of-attack blocking and multi-dimensional tight end skills to the Eagles' offense.

Jalen HurtsPositiveRoleAug 12, 2026

Quarterback Jalen Hurts' speed has been standing out at Eagles training camp and drawing rave reviews from the defense. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio noted: "I think Jalen's having a good camp. I think he looks faster." Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jalen Carter, who came into camp 10 pounds lighter, agreed: "I don't know what it is but when I'm watching and I'm running [after him], it's like a movie, it feels like I'm going slow. He be moving man, he's been working hard and he's the one, for sure."

Darius CooperPositiveRoleAug 12, 2026

Defensive end Darius Cooper began training camp on the roster bubble but has played his way into consideration for a starting job, earning 14 votes in the Eagles' training camp player stock up/stock down media poll—running away with the vote.

Eli StowersNegativeRoleAug 11, 2026

Stowers made multiple short catches in the flat. Nothing flashy but better to see him more active than not at all.
