The two most important days of Philadelphia Eagles training camp are Wednesday and Thursday, when the Birds will be practicing with the New England Patriots. The Eagles do not play starters during the preseason games, largely because they find the joint practice sessions to be more useful. Here are the five Eagles players I'll be watching closely.

Every time Vic Fangio speaks with the media, he reveals a little insight into what he thinks about players on his defense. And, well, he did again on Wednesday, so let's round up what he said, with some takeaways.

Lemon has lost valuable installation time in Philadelphia’s new offense, and has potentially missed out on the WR2 battle with Wicks for the time being. However, returning more than three weeks before Week 1 gives him an opportunity to regain his projected role alongside Smith. His workload over the next several practices will determine whether the rookie remains on schedule for immediate fantasy relevance.

The Philadelphia Eagles are one game and 14 practices — including a pair of joint practices with the New England Patriots — into their 2026 training camp. Some camp battles have already been decided, some under-the radar players have emerged, and some players have not yet played to expectations. Let's point out some players on an upward trajectory, and a few who have disappointed.

Now that Philadelphia Eagles 2026 training camp and the preseason are just about in the books, let's review the performances of each of the Eagles' drafted rookies throughout the summer.

The Eagles had a light session and prepared for their preseason game vs. the Bengals on the final day of their 2026 training camp.
