Hollywood Brown, the veteran receiver signed by the Eagles for $5 million fully guaranteed, is already facing serious questions in training camp. This guy has been the target on most of Jalen Hurts’ interceptions during camp, and he just had a brutal drop on a wide-open bubble screen. You have to wonder what’s going on with a player with that kind of investment.
The Defensive Line Rollercoaster: Robinson’s Rise And The Depth Dilemma
While some vets are struggling, second-year defensive tackle Ty Robinson is making some serious noise. After a rough rookie season and starting camp with the developmental squad, Robinson has steadily earned more meaningful reps and is getting better every single day. He’s a former high fourth-round pick from 2025, and the Eagles aren’t about to give up on him, especially with the iDL depth looking questionable beyond the top four guys. Robinson put in a strong showing on Monday as a pass rusher, consistently forcing his way into the backfield against the second-string offense. He’s really pushing for a spot on that initial 53-man roster, and a few standout preseason performances could seal it for him. Over in the secondary, Mac McWilliams is absolutely crushing it, taking first-team nickel corner reps and stacking his best days of the summer. That’s a huge “stock up” sign!
Offensive Battles: From RB2 Woes To OL Comebacks
It’s not just Brown creating drama on offense. Running back Will Shipley had a golden chance to lock down the RB2 spot last season but didn’t make a strong enough case, leading the team to trade for Tank Bigsby. Shipley is still a valuable asset though, returning kicks and serving as the personal protector on the punt team. He’s another recent draft pick the team won’t be quick to abandon. Then there’s Willie Lampkin, an undrafted free agent from 2025, who hasn’t played a football game since August 16, 2025, after getting injured with the Rams and later waived. The Eagles picked him up and put him on injured reserve, and now he’s back, fighting for a depth role at both center and guard. It’s a huge comeback story if he can pull it off. This whole camp has been intense, even featuring a practice that ended early after a fight broke out. Talk about high stakes!
The Eagles’ preseason slate kicks off this Saturday, and you know these players, especially the ones fighting for their jobs, are going to leave it all out on the field against the Ravens. Every snap matters now as they try to make their case for a spot on that final roster.
