The Philadelphia Eagles are in the midst of their 2024 training camp, preparing for the upcoming season with several key updates:
- Linebacker Updates: Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio has been vocal about the performance of the linebacker corps, including Nakobe Dean. Dean is working under his third defensive coordinator in as many years and is adjusting to Fangio’s straightforward coaching style. The Eagles have also added Devin White and Oren Burks to the lineup and drafted Jeremiah Trotter Jr. to strengthen the linebacker position.
2. Training Camp Highlights: The team has been actively practicing, with significant focus on conditioning and adjusting to new schemes under Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore. Key players like Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith have been showing promising performances. Hurts, in particular, is adapting well to Moore’s offensive system, and there is a healthy competition for the third wide receiver spot.
3. Defensive Standouts: Jalen Carter, now in his second year, is taking on a more prominent role in the defense following the retirement of Fletcher Cox. Carter, alongside fellow defensive tackles Jordan Davis and Milton Williams, is expected to be a crucial part of Fangio’s defensive strategy.
4. Upcoming Preseason Games: The Eagles’ first preseason game is set against the Baltimore Ravens on August 9th. This game will provide a glimpse into how well the new and returning players have integrated into the team’s system.
