Coverage Units Shone:
The Eagles’ coverage units had a strong day in team drills, with several key plays standing out. Quinyon Mitchell picked off Jalen Hurts on his first interception of training camp, and Sydney Brown broke up an underneath throw from Tanner McKee to Cameron Latu.
Notable Reps:
Zack Baun had a quiet practice, but Jeremiah Trotter Jr. had a standout play against the run. Cooper DeJean got more reps at safety next to Reed Blankenship, while rookie Mac McWilliams made a pass breakup in the end zone.
O-Line vs. D-Line 1-on-1 Drills:
The O-line and D-line had a fun practice, with several highlights worth noting. Moro Ojomo showed off his swim move against Landon Dickerson, while Ty Robinson impressed with his club against Laekin Vakalahi.
