Philadelphia Eagles 2025 training camp schedule, players to watch, open practice and more
The Eagles enter camp with a new offensive coordinator after Kellen Moore left for the New Orleans Saints' head coaching job. Kevin Patullo is a familiar face inside the building, having been originally hired as part of head coach Nick Sirianni's staff in 2021, but the promotion comes with uncertainty. How will he and Super Bowl LIX MVP quarterback Jalen Hurts work together?
The offseason brought changes, but the Birds' core remains intact. Saquon Barkley signed a historic contract extension. Cam Jurgens, who made the Pro Bowl in his first season replacing Jason Kelce at center, has a new long-term deal. Lane Johnson agreed to a one-year extension. Brandon Graham retired.
Repeating as Super Bowl champions is rare in today's game. Before the Kansas City Chiefs repeated as champions in 2022 and 2023, the last team to win back-to-back Super Bowls was the New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004. On paper, though, the Eagles enter this season in as good a shape to win Super Bowl LX as any other team.
Here's what Eagles fans need to know.
Here are some dates fans can circle on their calendars.
The Eagles' popular open practice returns again this summer, but fans will only have one opportunity to catch the Super Bowl LIX champions practice in pads at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Eagles' only open practice is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 10, at the Linc.
Ticket sales for the open practice benefit the Eagles Autism Foundation. General admission tickets are $10 and can be purchased on Ticketmaster.
Eagles training camp isn't short of storylines and players to watch. The Birds won't have many position battles this training camp, but there are a few that will be worth monitoring. Here are some to follow as camp progresses.
Kenyon Green, right guard: Replacing Mekhi Becton at right guard is the position battle to watch. The Eagles selected Tyler Steen in the third round of the 2023 draft, but the University of Alabama product lost the battle to Becton last summer. The Birds acquired 2022 first-round pick Kenyon Green from the Houston Texans in March. The Eagles liked Green coming out of college. He hasn't lived up to his draft status yet, but can a training camp at Stoutland University unlock his potential? Or does Steen, the early favorite, finally seize the opportunity? Right guard is the only offensive position up for grabs. The rest of the offense, barring injuries, is set.
Sydney Brown and Andrew Mukuba, safeties: The Eagles' trading C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Texans was the team's surprise move of the offseason, and it opened up a starting safety spot on the No. 1-ranked defense from last season. CJGJ's replacement will likely come in-house, between 2023 third-rounder Sydney Brown and 2025 second-rounder Andrew Mukuba. Brown and Mukuba were on the first-team defense during OTAs in May. Will Mukuba earn defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's trust to start in Week 1, or will Brown show enough consistency in camp and preseason to win the starting job?
Joshua Uche, EDGE: Brandon Graham retired, Josh Sweat and Milton Williams left in free agency and the Eagles traded free-agent bust Bryce Huff to the San Francisco 49ers. The Birds signed Joshua Uche in free agency to help with their pass rush. Uche broke out in his third year in the NFL with the New England Patriots, logging a career-best 11 1/2 sacks in 2022. But the last two seasons have been underwhelming for the edge rusher. Last season, he was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs midseason. The Eagles are expecting Jalyx Hunt to leap in Year 2 and more from Nolan Smith in Year 3. Will Uche produce like he did in 2022 with the Patriots, or do the Birds have another Huff on their hands?
Jihaad Campbell, linebacker: Howie Roseman went against the grain by trading up one spot to select Alabama inside linebacker Jihaad Campbell in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft. Campbell was one of the top-ranked linebackers in the pre-draft rankings, but he fell to the Eagles partially because of injury concerns. Campbell is recovering from shoulder surgery and didn't participate in the Eagles' offseason program. Campbell will likely be ready for training camp, and if so, how Fangio utilizes the linebacker will be something to watch. Will he be a more traditional inside 'backer, or will the Birds utilize him like they did in Zach Baun last season as a Swiss-army knife?

Jets to have officials at camp to reduce penalties, says coach Aaron Glenn
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets hope seeing more black-and-white stripes in training camp will result in fewer yellow flags during the season. Coach Aaron Glenn said Friday the team will often have officials at practice through the summer after the Jets, under the previous regime of coach Robert Saleh, led the NFL in penalties the last two seasons. New York rarely used officials during training camp practices during those summers. Many NFL teams hire officials for at least some of their camp practices, giving players the opportunity to get used to how plays are called in a non-game environment. 'I want the officials here as much as possible and they know that,' Glenn said. "It's no secret that we were the most-penalized team in the league last year, so that's one of the things that I want to nip in the bud early — making sure that the discipline part of what we do, that we fix that now. 'You cannot win games in this league with an undisciplined team, so all the penalties that we had last year, we're knocking those things out.' Last season, the Jets were penalized 137 times, five more than Tennessee and Baltimore, and finished 5-12 — with Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas both fired in the middle of the season. In 2023, New York was called for 124 penalties, nine more than Cleveland and Dallas, and went 7-10. 'The officials are going to be here and we're going to knock that out, all right,' Glenn said. 'I will tell you this: We are going to knock these penalties out. We're going to understand that undisciplined teams do not win games.' Philadelphia, last year's Super Bowl champion, ranked 11th in the NFL with 103 penalties. Kansas City, the AFC champion, was fourth with 94. The Los Angeles Rams, who won the NFC West, had the fewest penalties in the league with 91. Glenn said there are two types of calls on players during games: pre-snap penalties — 'the dumb penalties' — and competitive penalties, including pass interference. 'The competitive penalties, listen, you go back and forth with those, right?' Glenn said. 'Like P.I., guys are fighting. Those are competitive penalties. Holds, those are competitive. Now, false starts, jumping offside, hitting after plays, the dumb stuff, we've got to knock those out. And we control those. And those are the things I want to make sure we get rid of.' ___ AP NFL:

Yankees acquiring 3B Ryan McMahon in trade with Rockies
The Yankees are making an upgrade at third base, acquiring Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies, according to Mark Feinsand. New York is sending two pitching prospects in exchange for the 2024 All-Star, including LHP Griffin Herring, per ESPN's Jorge Castillo. The Rockies are currently a league-worst 26-76 and on pace for the worst record in major league history. McMahon is in the fourth year of a six-year, $70 million contract. He's owed $16 million in both of the next two seasons before becoming a free agent ahead of the 2028 season. The 30-year-old is slashing .217/.314/.403 this season with 16 home runs, 15 doubles, and 35 RBI over 100 games. He's struck out a league-leading 127 times, but is still on pace for his fifth straight 20-plus home run season and sixth of his career. It's a drop-off from his All-Star 2024 season in which he hit .242 with 20 homers, 28 doubles, and 65 RBI. McMahon had a career-best 4.0 WAR in 2021 with 23 home runs, 32 doubles, and 86 RBI in 151 games. He was drafted by Colorado in the second round of the 2013 MLB Draft out of Mater Dei HS in Santa Ana, CA and made his debut at age 22 in 2017. Over nine seasons and 1,004 games with the Rockies, McMahon owns a .240 batting average and .740 OPS with 137 homers and 445 RBI. Defensively, McMahon has logged 696 games at third base, owning a .968 fielding percentage. He's also played 244 games at second base, 70 at first base, seven as a DH, and two at SS. He's played 100 games at third this season (.978 fielding percentage) and manned the hot corner for 152 games in 2024, leading the league in both assists (323) and errors (15). The Yankees will bank on his glove at third base for at least the rest of the season, allowing them to move Jazz Chisholm Jr. to second base full-time.
