Eagles DT Jordan Davis lost 26 pounds this offseason
Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis is hoping less is more this season. Reporters at Wednesday's opening practice of training camp noted that Davis looked slimmer than he did when the Eagles were winning the Super Bowl in New Orleans in February. Davis confirmed that was the case at a Thursday press conference and said he currently weighs 330 pounds, which is down 26 pounds from where he was playing last season. Davis said he thought it was time to make a change for both football and overall life reasons. He said it feels 'amazing' and that he believes he's still as powerful as he was at the higher weight. 'I'm still that Jordan Davis,' Davis said. 'I'm still gonna be that anchor. I'm still gonna be that same player. But knowing that with this new weight, I can do a lot more. I can move a lot more on passing reps. I'm gonna be expected to add that. And that's just what's been communicated with me from the top down. And honestly, I'm here for it. I'm ready for it. I'm just ready to go.' The Eagles exercised Davis's fifth-year option for 2026, so he's not in a contract year, but adding pass rush potency to what he's brought to the table as a run-stuffing starter in the middle of the line might help speed up extension talks to keep him in Philadelphia.

Jalen Hurts was extremely sharp Hurts was 17-19 passing on the day, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks, and it continues the trend of the Eagles' star quarterback developing into an elite and efficient thrower of the football. Competition at cornerback continues The Eagles usually hold starters out of preseason games. Still, with just one joint practice schedule, Philadelphia could utilize those contests to pick a winner at the cornerback spot opposite Quinyon Mitchell. For the second straight day, Kelee Ringo and Adoree' Jackson are getting first-team reps with Cooper DeJean mixing in. Eagles paid tribute to the Late Ozzy Osbourne. Tributes are pouring in from music legends and celebrities after the death of Ozzy Osbourne, the rock and heavy metal icon, at the age of 76.

Eagles DC Vic Fangio hints at Quinyon Mitchell traveling with the opposing team's best WR
Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell could begin traveling with the opposing team's best wide receiver after stating he's been getting his feet wet at both outside cornerback positions. Eagles standout cornerback Quinyon Mitchell stayed on one side of the field for the majority of his rookie season. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will be moving him around in 2025. Before the Eagles' second practice of training camp on Thursday, Fangio told reporters he's having Mitchell play both sides of the field so he can shadow the NFL's top pass-catchers during the regular season. Mitchell finished his rookie campaign with 12 pass breakups and forfeited just 472 yards in coverage last season. Quarterbacks completed 54.7% of pass attempts when targeting Mitchell as the nearest defender. He only allowed 74 yards after the catch (4.6 yards per contest); receivers went down nearly instantly when catching balls in Mitchell's vicinity. The Defensive Rookie of the Year runner-up held several household names in check last year: With Darius Slay leaving in free agency, Mitchell is now the de facto shutdown cornerback in Philadelphia and will be responsible for covering opposing teams' primary receivers.
