Elijah Mitchell Elijah Mitchell Headed to Philly
Tue, Jun 2, 2026, 6:44 PM
The Eagles signed Mitchell on Tuesday.
Analysis: After trying out during Philadelphia's rookie camp earlier this spring, per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Mitchell is now getting a chance to make an impression with the birds as offseason workouts resume. There could be room for legitimate competition in the Eagles' backfield behind Saquon Barkley, as both Tank Bigsby and 2024 fourth-rounder Will Shipley are relatively unproven. |

Makai Lemon Makai Lemon Dealing with hamstring injury
Tue, Jun 2, 2026, 1:53 PM
Lemon did not participate in Tuesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The 2026 first-round pick observed practice off to the side with his right leg in a compression sleeve. Following Monday's trade of A.J. Brown to the Patriots, Lemon is expected to operate as the Eagles' WR2 alongside DeVonta Smith this season. The severity of his hamstring injury isn't clear, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Lemon is done for the remainder of OTAs, with the focus being on having him fully healthy for training camp in July. |

Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:13 PM
Toure signed with the Eagles on Monday.
Analysis: The seventh-round pick of the Packers in 2022 appeared in 22 regular-season games with his original team across his first two NFL campaigns. Toure spent the majority of last year on New Orleans' practice squad before playing in the regular-season finale. The wide receiver joins a crowded depth chart in Philadelphia that includes DeVonta Smith, 2026 first-round pick Makai Lemon and offseason additions Dontayvion Wicks, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Philly's WR1 after Brown trade
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 3:59 PM
Smith is set to operate as the Eagles' top wide receiver after the team traded A.J. Brown to the Patriots on Monday.
Analysis: In anticipation of trading Brown, Philadelphia bolstered its wide receiver room by selecting Makai Lemon in the first round of this year's draft, in addition to trading for Dontayvion Wicks and signing Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore in free agency. Smith figures to work ahead of those offseason additions after posting the third 1,000-yard regular season of his five-year career in 2025. Philadelphia's 2021 first-round draft pick has averaged 111 targets in his first five regular seasons, the last four of which came while starting alongside Brown. |

Getting reps at guard
Thu, May 28, 2026, 7:31 PM
Hinton (back) is participating during the Eagles' OTAs, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.
Analysis: On paper, Hinton's length (6-foot-6, 34-inch arms) makes him better suited for work at tackle, but even still, his path to playing time might be clearer inside, given Philadelphia's offensive line personnel otherwise. Hinton figures to be a depth option if he can earn a spot on the 53-man roster for 2026. |

Playing during OTAs
Thu, May 28, 2026, 7:27 PM
Lampkin (knee) is participating in OTAs, Glenn Erby of Eagles Wire reports.
Analysis: The Eagles claimed Lampkin off waivers last August but kept him on IR for the entire season. He's currently in competition with Drew Kendall for the backup center spot behind Cam Jurgens. |

Johnny Wilson Johnny Wilson Participating in OTAs
Thu, May 28, 2026, 6:29 PM
Wilson (knee) is participating in organized team activities, Glenn Erby of Eagles Wire reports.
Analysis: The wide receiver suffered a season-ending knee injury in August of last year. Wilson is not only back for OTAs, but receiving some first-team reps ahead of Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore, per Erby. The 2024 sixth-round pick caught five passes for 38 yards and a score as a rookie. |

Returns for OTAs
Wed, May 27, 2026, 2:43 PM
Mukuba (ankle) participated in Philadelphia's OTAs on Wednesday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mukuba missed Philadelphia's last seven games (including playoffs) of the 2025 season due to an ankle injury, but it now appears he's recovered from the issue. Prior to picking up the injury, the 2025 second-round pick from Texas had emerged as a crucial part of the Eagles' secondary, recording 46 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and three passes defensed, with two interceptions, across 11 appearances. He's expected to operate as the team's top free safety during the 2026 campaign. |

Hayes signed with the Eagles on Wednesday.
Analysis: Hayes, an undrafted rookie out of SE Louisiana, appeared in 13 games during his final collegiate season, catching 19 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns while rushing 18 times for 107 yards. Additionally, he was an impactful kick returner, tallying 583 return yards and two touchdowns. Now with the Eagles, Hayes will likely compete for a special-teams role as the offseason progresses. |

Makai Lemon Makai Lemon Working with starters at OTAs
Wed, May 27, 2026, 12:32 PM
Lemon is working with the starters during 7-on-7 drills at OTAs on Wednesday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Lemon is already working with Jalen Hurts and the starting offense one month after having joined the Eagles in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 20th overall. Of course, with A.J. Brown and Dontayvion Wicks not present for voluntary OTAs, as Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports, Lemon is currently only competing with Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore for starting reps behind DeVonta Smith. In the event that the Eagles do eventually part ways with Brown via trade after June 1, Lemon's path to an immediate stating role as a rookie will be clearer. |

Moving to safety
Fri, May 22, 2026, 2:23 PM
The Eagles stated Friday that Dejean will be moving to safety in a base defense, Brandon Lee Gowton of bleedinggreennation.com reports.
Analysis: Dejean played many of his 2025 snaps as the slot cornerback in the Eagles' scheme, but it appears the team intends to test Marcus Epps with a competition for the starting strong safety job. With Michael Carter joining the team after a 2025 midseason trade, it seems defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is attempting to maximize his defensive backs. Both Dejean and Carter have received All-Pro votes at slot cornerback, with Dejean winning first team honors in 2025. If Dejean can translate that talent to safety, the Eagles could field elite value at both positions as they attempt to defend the NFC East title. |

May not attend OTAs
Fri, May 22, 2026, 2:12 PM
Campbell (shoulder) may not participate in OTAs but will be ready for training camp, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio made it clear that the linebacker would be ready for training camp and left the door open for Campbell to even log some reps in the latter portion of OTAs. The 2025 first-round pick is set to step into a starting role next to Zack Baun in 2026. The departure of Nakobe Dean in free agency means Campbell will take on an expanded role in the Eagles' defense. |

Arrested on speeding charges
Thu, May 21, 2026, 8:54 AM
Smith was arrested last Friday in Georgia and is accused of speeding and reckless driving, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: According to a representative of the Twiggs County Sheriff's Office, Smith's vehicle was clocked at 130 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone while the 25-year-old was driving on the interstate. A court date for Smith's case has been set for July 14, though he wouldn't have to appear if he agrees to pay the fines associated with his citations. A 2023 first-round draft pick, Smith has accrued 10.5 sacks and 25 quarterback hits over 45 career games during the regular season and was a standout performer in the Eagles' run to the Super Bowl in 2024, when he racked up 4.0 sacks in four playoff contests. |

Reverts to NFI list
Tue, May 5, 2026, 11:03 PM
Large reverted to Philadelphia's reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Large signed with the team as an undrafted free agent May 1 but ended up spending less than a week on their active roster. He will now miss at least the first four games of the regular season. |

Expensive fifth-year option
Mon, Apr 27, 2026, 5:11 PM
The Eagles picked up Carter's fifth-year option Monday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: The cost to maintain Carter's services through 2027 comes at a hefty $27 million. The defensive tackle earned Pro Bowl honors in both 2024 and 2025, adding value to his fifth-year option. Carter missed multiple games due to various injuries last season, as well as being ejected in Week 1 for an incident involving him spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. When Carter was on the field, he produced 33 tackles (21 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and seven passes defensed over 12 regular-season games (really 11 since he was ejected before the first snap of Week 1). |

Fifth-year option excercised
Mon, Apr 27, 2026, 4:56 PM
The Eagles exercised Smith's fifth-year option Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Smith will earn another $13.7 million, guaranteeing his services to the Eagles through 2027. The linebacker is coming off a slightly disappointing season that was spoiled by a lingering triceps injury he originally suffered during training camp. Despite the issue, Smith still started 12 regular-season games, logging 31 tackles (15 solo), including 3.0 sacks. Headed into 2026 healthy, Smith will look to produce a year similar to his 2024 season (42 tackles, including 6.5 sacks), which would help greatly in long-term extension discussions with the organization. |

Picked up by Eagles
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 5:58 PM
Philadelphia selected James-Newby in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 252nd overall.
Analysis: James-Newby enjoyed a six-year college career that ended with New Mexico in 2025, when he was selected to the All-MWC First-Team after posting 52 total tackles, including 9.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and five pass defenses across 13 games. He's not the most powerful pass-rushing prospect in the draft, but James-Newby beat opposing blockers with his burst off the snap, and he'll need to become a more reliable tackler to see meaningful snaps at the NFL level. He'll compete with the likes of Jalyx Hunt, Jose Ramirez, Arnold Ebiketie and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka for rotational snaps at the edge rusher position behind Nolan Smith and the newly acquired Jonathan Greenard (shoulder). |

Drafted by Eagles
Sat, Apr 25, 2026, 5:55 PM
The Eagles selected Bernard in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 251st overall.
Analysis: Bernard (6-foot-4, 306 pounds) put together an impressive workout performance at the International Player Pathway Pro Day, highlighted by a 4.69 40-yard dash and a 39-inch vertical. Though he has not played organized football at the collegiate level, Philadelphia is intrigued enough by the potential of his rare combination of size and athleticism to invest draft capital into Bernard's development. While Bernard looks set to begin his career working at defensive tackle, he could also test his hand at edge rusher or along the O-line. |

The Eagles selected Wisniewski in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 244th overall.
Analysis: Wisniewski probably is not a serious starting safety candidate at the NFL level, but at 6-foot-3, 219 pounds the Texas Tech product has the build to crash hard against the run from the strong safety position. His 2025 season with the Red Raiders was his sixth collegiate season after playing the prior five years at North Dakota State, mostly as a backup. The Eagles will probably be content if Wisniewski can simply play on special teams. |

The Eagles selected Morris in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 207th overall.
Analysis: Morris didn't start in his first three seasons at Georgia but saw some action at right guard in 2024 before starting at left guard in all 14 games in 2025. He provides solid pass protection and is a powerful blocker in the run game, though his success was limited to specific schemes. Morris has a great opportunity to improve his game in Philadelphia, where he'll provide depth at guard behind Landon Dickerson and Tyler Steen. |
