Andrew Makuba seized the spotlight as the Eagles’ camp conversations sharpen around the safety job, with Vic Fangio praising his instinct and playmaking after a limited but splashy preseason. Cooper DeJean’s emergence at outside corner adds depth to a position battle that also features Adoree' Jackson and Jakorian Bennett, while Sydney Brown remains the versatile anchor next to Makuba. The John Metchie III trade signals Philadelphia’s willingness to add a seasoned route-runner behind the top trio, even as the receiver room debates six- or seven-man alignments behind AJ Brown and Devonta Smith. Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s QB arc in Cleveland drew a sobering line: the DTR dream may be over, with McCord rising as the longer-term play in trainer-speak, even as the Browns keep DTR on a tight leash. All of this frames a week-one roster window where Keely Ringo’s development, Johnny Wilson’s putative roster case, and Cooper DeJean’s readiness will be felt in nickel-and-dime packages and special teams alike. Fans eye the corner, safety, and edge rotations with heightened anticipation as week one approaches.

Day 11 of Eagles camp: cautious notes around AJ Brown and co. Brown sat out as a precaution while Elijah Cooks and Kenyan Green joined limited participants, signaling the team’s protection-first approach as open pads loom for Sunday and a high-intensity week ahead against the Browns.

The on-field focus centered on Keely Ringo, Jakorian Bennett, and the cornerback depth battle, with Terrace Marshall Jr. and Terrace Marshall making plays after returns from absence. Fletcher Cox and Ndamukong Suh were part of a steady D-line presence, while Lane Johnson and Tyler Steen anchored the o-line as the defense tests secondary options. DTR and Kyle McCord split reps, spotlighting the upcoming roster decisions at quarterback. Behind the headlines, Eli Ricks shined in space, and Johnny Wilson looked like a candidate for the back-end of wide receiver depth. Buzz around new pieces like Gabe Hall and Thomas Booker underscored a stronger depth culture heading into joint practices.

Vic Fangio’s sessions emphasized learning and speed, with a noteworthy moment when he discussed Keely Ringo facing Jamar Chase, stressing stress-testing learning experiences rather than shying from tough matchups. The coaching staff highlighted how the development curve at corner and edge rusher will influence cut-down decisions, while the offense continues to build around AJ Brown’s and Terrace Marshall’s chemistry, coupled with a potential late-bloom from Kyle McCord or DTR as the group searches for a clear No. 3 quarterback.
