5 questions for another glimpse at Eagles’ 2024 OTAs originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Eagles are back at OTAs this week to wrap up their voluntary offseason before next week’s mandatory minicamp.
Access is limited for reporters to just two of six sessions. We were there one day last week and will be back for Thursday’s session at the NovaCare Complex. Because of the limited access, all the takeaways from these practices should certainly be taken with a grain of salt.
But as we prepare to head back for OTAs today, here are five questions on my mind:
1. Any players back at practice?
As a reminder, all of these OTAs are completely voluntary but the Eagles have traditionally had strong attendance. There were a few key veterans missing last Wednesday: James Bradberry, Josh Sweat, Lane Johnson, DeVonta Smith, Kelee Ringo, C.J. Uzomah and Jake Elliott.
The most intriguing name on that list is obviously Bradberry. While Eagles general manager Howie Roseman claimed at the Combine that Bradberry was under contract and therefore in their plans, it’s hard to look at this roster and think Bradberry will be on the team. Especially after the Eagles drafted Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in the top 40 last month. While Bradberry has been around for some of the voluntary offseason, it would be a bit surprising to see him on the field today. If the Eagles release or trade Bradberry after June 1, it would break up the dead cap money on his contract over two seasons. That seems like a very real possibility.
As far as the other veterans, not too worried about most of them. Johnson can work out at his Bro Barn, DeVonta is going to be just fine. I am looking forward to seeing what Sweat looks like in the No. 19 and how Ringo fits into the depth chart.
Aside from that, it’ll be worth checking out if any of the injured players — Nakobe Dean, Sydney Brown, Ainias Smith, Eli Ricks, Zech McPhearson — are doing more today than they were last week.
