The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for their organized team activities (OTAs), which begin on May 27, highlighting key battles for starting positions that could shape their 2025 roster. With a shortened schedule of just six OTA sessions, competition will be fierce, especially in positions like safety, cornerback, right guard, linebacker, and wide receiver. The Eagles' GM, Howie Roseman, emphasized that youngsters will have a prime opportunity to showcase their skills.

Several interesting battles are set to unfold. At safety, Sydney Brown, a 2023 draft pick, faces off against second-rounder Drew Mukuba for the starting spot vacated by C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Meanwhile, the cornerback position is open after Darius Slay's release, with Kelee Ringo and Cooper DeJean in contention. The right guard position sees Tyler Steen competing against Kenyon Green and Drew Kendall, while the linebacker role is up for grabs due to injuries to Nakobe Dean and Jihaad Campbell. Lastly, the wide receiver group, already featuring A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, could see a new name emerge as contributors battle for depth spots.
