Philadelphia’s contenders across key spots are still jockeying for final roster spots as cuts loom, but the Eagles have already started separating some players from the pack. Jakorian Bennett’s rapid rise at cornerback has flipped the depth chart opposite Quinty Mitchell, pressing Kelee Ringo and Adoree’ Jackson. Sydney Brown has asserted himself as the clear leader at safety, with Cooper DeJean as a flexible base-to-nickel option. The linebacker group boasts serious versatility behind Nakobe Dean’s PUP status, and Jihaad Campbell, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., and Smael Mondon are pushing for starts. In the trenches, Tyler Steen has seized the right guard job, with a potential switch if Dickerson’s knee issues persist. The third quarterback duel pits Kyle McCord’s development vs Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s veteran poise. At wideout, Johnny Wilson and undrafted Darius Cooper headline final-spot battles, while Ainias Smith and Elijah Cooks push for special-teams roles. Fantasy angles: Bennett’s surge could tilt cornerback targets in PHI, Brown’s safety anchor may stabilize the defense and limit ceiling for opportunistic pass-cacers, and the QB split is worth watching for Week 1 upside.

Driessing a Browns-Eagles showcase, this recap hones in on fantasy-relevant drama from the Saturday tilt. Dillon Gabriel’s first half in the Browns’ QB3 spotlight offered a mixed bag—efficient on third down but with a costly turnover, leaving him behind Flacco and Pickett for now and nudging his stock to a “needs a standout performance” tier. Andrew Mukuba’s day was a spark plug for Philadelphia, hauling in a 75-yard pick-6 and capitalizing on Gabriel’s misread to swing momentum. The CB2 battle for Philly remained fluid, with Adoree’ Jackson and Nolan Smith quietly elevating the defense, while Kelee Ringo’s coverage hiccups kept him in a rough patch yet not out of the race. Kyle McCord’s and DTR’s rotation underscored Browns’ QB3 intrigue, while the Eagles’ pass rush showed signs of life from Ojulari. The takeaway for fantasy managers: monitor the QB3 dance in Cleveland and the evolving CB2 depth in Philadelphia, plus any edge-pressure uptick from Philadelphia’s signings, as reps mount ahead of Week 1.

The Eagles and Browns treated Wednesday’s NovaCare session like a live audition for the regular season, delivering a battle of lines and playmakers that will shape early fantasy value. Garrett’s relentless edge pressure against Mailata punctuated the day, setting a blueprint for Cleveland’s defense to manufacture sacks and disrupt timing. Hurts appeared constrained by the pressure, steering Eagles’ hurt-prone passing days into a run-leaning rhythm that underscored how Philadelphia might balance offense in camp and early games. Johnny Wilson rose for the Eagles, snapping go-ball chemistry with accuracy on top of his blocking utility, signaling a potential roster cornerstone if he sustains camp momentum. Will Shipley contributed the first big chunk of production on a well-blocked 11-on-11 run, illustrating the Eagles’ commitment to a dynamic, multi-phased run game behind their left side. The Browns’ QB competition dominated the clipboard narratives, with Flacco looking decisive and surgical in select moments, while the other quartets worked to prove they belong. Jeudy’s intermediate artistry surfaced in 1-on-1s against Kelee Ringo, as the two traded wins and losses, highlighting the high skills level at the top of Cleveland’s opponent. Ringo’s struggles at times against Jeudy and Diontae Johnson offered a reminder that the cornerback depth chart remains unsettled, even as Adoree’ Jackson provided the steadiness the back end needed. On the field, the run game continued to give Browns fits, with blocks from Mailata, Johnson, and Toth shaping lanes that could fuel one of the league’s strongest run offenses again this season. Overall, the session offered a treasure trove of data points for fantasys bettors: Garrett’s dominance, Wilson’s breakout moment, Shipley’s burst, and the evolving QB scenarios across both teams.

Two days of joint practice between the Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns spotlight seven Eagles on the roster bubble: Brett Toth, Darius Cooper, ShunDerrick Powell, Andrew Mukuba, Kelee Ringo, and Jakorian Bennett, plus Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson as a contrasting test case. Toth can lock a spot by solidly filling in on the line; Cooper’s preseason burst raises expectation for another strong week of practice; Powell’s crisp footwork and burst could carve a new role; Mukuba’s first-team rep exposure tightens the battle for the safety/fluid backline; Ringo must rebound from a rough outing, while Bennett competes for No. 2 corner. The Browns’ depth at QB, led by five under contract and rookie Shedeur Sanders looming, adds extra intrigue to the QB-depth narrative. This practice window offers clearer signals for fantasy rosters and late-season upside, as edge players on both sides could emerge or fade based on performance in these joint sessions.

Jakorian Bennett’s arrival in Philadelphia marks a rapid, dogged push into a crowded CB room, six hours after the trade was completed. He emphasized preparation, willingness to do whatever the coaches ask, and a goal to help the team win more games. Bennett’s shoulder injury last season is described as better than ever, and he’s committed to learning the Eagles’ defense while competing for a starting role alongside familiar draft classmate Kelee Ringo.

The deal reshapes depth for Philadelphia and adds another versatile piece to a defense that values preparation and culture. The Raiders, meanwhile, acquired Thomas Booker, shifting pass-rush and interior-rotation depth in LV. Bennett’s quotes and pre-draft meeting with the Eagles frame him as a fit who will bring versatility, competitiveness, and a high-mh-work‑ethic mindset to a late‑summer competition that fantasy players will want to monitor closely.
