Philly wrapped up their seventeenth and final training camp practice on Wednesday, signaling the end of camp before the 2026 NFL season kicks off. But if you were hoping for a clean bill of health or a perfectly tuned offense, you might need to grab another round. This last session was a lighter one, no pads, but the injury report still held some seriously concerning news.
The Injury Bug Is Hitting Hard
The Eagles’ injury list still looks like a nightmare. Tight end Eli Stowers (hamstring), offensive tackle Markel Bell (thumb/leg), tight end Grant Calcaterra (back), cornerback Jakorian Bennett (knee), and safety Cole Wisniewski (concussion) all sat out Wednesday. CB Jonathan Jones was upgraded to limited participation with his shoulder issue, which is something, after missing a bunch of camp. Good news, kinda: OG Landon Dickerson was back after missing Tuesday, but he sure looked like he was lumbering off the field after one rep. The vibe is less about a new injury and more about him being “physically diminished.” No one questions his toughness, but Pro Bowl form? That’s looking like a long shot right now. Cornerback Mac McWilliams (shoulder) is now full go, which is a win. And shoutout to OT Lane Johnson, DT Jordan Davis, and TE E.J. Jenkins who got dinged Tuesday but weren’t on the report Wednesday, phew!
Then there’s OG Willie Lampkin. He just got back Tuesday from a stinger he picked up Monday, and he was visibly frustrated, talking to a trainer and stretching his neck on the field. The guy doesn’t seem 100 percent, not by a long shot.
Hurts’ Accuracy Struggles Continue
Jalen Hurts had some moments, sure, but the passing offense as a whole looked out of sync. In 7-on-7 red zone drills, Riq Woolen broke up a pass intended for DeVonta Smith, and Hurts sailed a pass high to Dallas Goedert. He did connect with DeVonta over the middle for a touchdown, which is always nice, but then overthrew Darius Cooper with Woolen smothering the receiver. In 11-on-11, Hurts had some short completions to DeVonta and Hollywood Brown. But he also threw one into traffic that got knocked down by Quinyon Mitchell (and maybe Jihaad Campbell), and then overthrew DeVonta in the end zone. The timing on a pass to Johnny Mundt was just not there. Meanwhile, backup Tanner McKee kept his “dink and dunk” game going, capping off a drive with a touchdown to Tank Bigsby as McKee rolled out.
So, the Eagles are heading into the 2026 season with a bunch of guys battling injuries, especially on the offensive line, and a starting quarterback who’s still got some serious accuracy kinks to work out. They’ve got to get healthy and find that rhythm, and fast!
