Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts continued his impressive display at training camp on Tuesday, leading the team with razor-sharp accuracy and precision. Despite a relatively light practice session that lasted under an hour, Hurts completed all eight of his passes, including notable completions to DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson.
However, injuries have begun to mount for the Eagles, with several key players missing practice due to various ailments. Backup left tackle Landon Dickerson, who had previously been dealing with a knee injury, suffered a setback and will undergo “minor procedure,” which may impact his availability early in the regular season.
Tight end Dallas Goedert showcased Hurts’ impressive arm talent, as the quarterback rolled right and fired a bullet across his body to hit Goedert in tight coverage. The move raised eyebrows about whether Hurts is genuinely angry about the disrespect he’s received in QB rankings this offseason.
The Eagles will face an uphill battle against Jim Schwartz’s defense over the next two days of joint training camp practices with the Cleveland Browns. Meanwhile, veteran long snapper Charley Hughlett has been upgraded to full participation after missing the first preseason game and the last two practices, while the Eagles have waived Christian Johnstone.
In other news, Brett Toth is expected to fill in as Landon Dickerson’s backup at left guard, although Darian Kinnard may also be in contention for the spot. Cornerback Adoree’ Jackson has seen increased reps with the first-team defense, but Ringo still saw significant playing time alongside him.
The team will face a crucial test against the Browns this Thursday and Friday, followed by an Eagles preseason game at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday, August 16.
