The Eagles have hit the pause button for 48 hours in camp, so here is alook at five of the most pleasant surprises so far.
PHILADELPHIA – The Eagles are off until Sunday, when they will ramp up for their preseason opener on Friday against the Baltimore Ravens with four straight practices. With some downtime, here are five of my most pleasant surprise of training camp so far.Anybody at the Eagles’ open practice Thursday night at Lincoln Financial saw what those of us who have been at every practice have seen – the quarterback is operating at a high level.
“He's had an outstanding camp. We're early in camp. I know he wants to continue to improve. We just wanted him to continue to improve one day at a time. Thus far he's had a really good camp, and I am really excited where he is.” Eagles QB Jalen Hurts during the team's open practice at Lincoln Financial Field on Aug. 1, 2024. / Ed Kracz/Eagles on SIThe punt returner said last year that he considers himself a receiver first, and he’s really looking like it. He has probably been more consistent than some of the other third receivers, including Parris Campbell and John Ross, and the only route runner better on this team is DeVonta Smith, which means he can consistently create separation.
It will be interesting to see if he will have sort of role as a receiver as summer rolls on and into the season.The rookie was billed as an outside corner and had never played anywhere else before, yet he is adapting nicely to nickel and dime packages and does not seem overwhelmed by what defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is throwing his way.
