Eagles training camp 2026, Day 3 practice notes

Key Points:

• The Eagles held their longest training camp practice on Saturday, lasting 1 hour and 42 minutes, with several players missing due to injuries or being excused; notable absences included Lane Johnson and Jihaad Campbell, and two players, Keyshawn James-Newby and Jaeden Roberts, left practice early with injuries.
• Defensive depth saw Jeremiah Trotter Jr. step in effectively for Campbell, while the defense dominated the session, pressuring quarterback Jalen Hurts heavily and winning 7 out of 10 reps in a late competitive period, highlighting the defense's early camp superiority.
• Jalen Carter, the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history, showcased his impact with multiple pressures, a sack, and a pass deflection, reinforcing his status as a dominant force on the defensive line.
• Offensively, Jalen Hurts demonstrated his running ability with an 8-yard touchdown run in the red zone, while the offense struggled overall against the defense, failing to score effectively during red zone drills.
• Several young players showed promise, including Danny Gray with multiple catches, Jalyx Hunt impressing in non-padded drills, and Drew Mukuba making significant defensive plays, while special teams saw Britain Covey emerge as a potential punt returner.
