Heading into the 2025 training camp, the Philadelphia Eagles, despite their strong Super Bowl-winning roster, face potential challenges in their linebacker group. Star linebacker Nakobe Dean is still recovering from an injury sustained during the playoffs. His absence could be pivotal as the Eagles look to maintain their defensive prowess. Oren Burks, who filled in admirably for Dean, is no longer with the team after signing with the Bengals, further complicating their depth at the position. Meanwhile, first-round pick Jihaad Campbell is expected to step in, but the uncertainty surrounding the linebacker corps raises questions about the Eagles' defensive strategy.

The Eagles' linebacker unit had been a strength last season with standout performances, notably from Zack Baun, who earned All-Pro honors. As they adjust to new roles and player changes, the team must address these concerns promptly to ensure they remain competitive in their quest to repeat as champions.
