Recalibrating the Eagles biggest positional needs after the start of training camp
phillyvoice.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Philadelphia Eagles' most urgent positional concern is wide receiver, particularly at the WR2 and WR3 spots, as Makai Lemon, their expected immediate contributor, has missed significant practice time and may not start early in the season.
- Safety has improved since training camp began, with players like Andrew Mukuba and Cooper DeJean showing promise, and veteran Marcus Epps earning trust in nickel packages, reducing the urgency to add playmaking safeties.
- The Eagles' only long snapper, rookie Rocco Underwood, is athletically gifted but has shown occasional inaccuracy, leading to potential concerns about consistency at this critical position despite his low cost.
- Other positions such as interior offensive line, interior defensive line, and kicker appear less concerning, with promising performances from rookies and solid accuracy from kicker Jake Elliott in camp.
