Eagles training camp observations: A busy Day 1 for Saquon Barkley originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
It’s football season.
The Eagles kicked off their 2024 training camp on a humid Wednesday morning at the NovaCare Complex.

The Eagles also put S Sydney Brown on the Active/PUP list as he recovers from a late-season ACL tear.
• Two other players did not practice: OG Landon Dickerson (toe laceration) and OL Brett Toth (hamstring). Neither of those players were placed on the NFI, so those injuries are considered to be minor.
• DB James Bradberry, CB Zech McPhearson, OG Trevor Keegan and WR Jacob Harris were all practicing on Day 1 of training camp after missing the end of the spring workouts.
2. Some offensive depth chart notes:
• Tyler Steen was the first-team right guard on Wednesday. When asked about that competition going forward, Sirianni said “we’ll see” but we know OL coach Jeff Stoutland would prefer to keep the five starters together as much as possible. After practice, right tackle Lane Johnson said…
