Eagles training camp observations: Hurts looks faster than last year originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Eagles’ second training camp practice of 2024 began at 10 a.m. and lasted 1 hour and 22 minutes on Thursday morning.
As they ramp up before eventually putting the pads on, this session was longer than Wednesday’s.
After two straight days of practice, the Eagles are scheduled to hold a walkthrough on Friday before getting back on the practice field at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Sunday is scheduled to be the first players day off of camp.

• Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was dealing with what appeared to be a calf cramp at the end of Thursday’s practice. A trainer massaged Trotter’s left calf before the rookie popped up and then took a ride in a cart inside.
• Before practice the Eagles made a minor roster move, signing WR Griffin Hebert and waiving Gottlieb Ayedze from the NFI list.
2. Some offensive depth chart notes:
• After Parris Campbell was the WR3 to start training camp, the Eagles had John Ross out there with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in 11 personnel on Thursday. Ross hasn’t played in an NFL game since 2021 but he appears to be in the mix to win a job and also earn some playing time.
• Dickerson eventually took some team reps later in practice but Mekhi Becton began the day as the Eagles’ starting left guard between Cam Jurgens and Jordan Mailata. Aside from that switch from Becton to Dickerson, the offensive lines remained the same on Thursday (L to R):
1st team: Mailata, Becton/Dickerson, Jurgens, Tyler Steen, Lane Johnson
2nd team: Fred…
