Eagles stock up, stock down after 2nd round of 2024 training camp practices originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Eagles have now made it through six practices this summer and a couple of them have been in full pads.
So the 2024 version of this team is starting to come into focus a bit.
Of course, there’s still a long way to go. The Eagles still have plenty more practices, a joint session with the Patriots and three preseason games before they have to finalize their 53-man roster.

CB Quinyon Mitchell
While Isaiah Rodgers and Kelee Ringo continue to split the reps at first-team outside cornerback, Mitchell is coming along nicely. He’s getting more and more reps as the first-team nickel (and dime linebacker) and his battles against A.J. Brown in 1-on-1s are already becoming must-see moments of camp. The rookie is taking on one of the best receivers in the NFL and he’s not backing down. The Eagles have to love that.
DE Jalyx Hunt
There’s no doubt that Hunt is a raw prospect for a third-round pick. He’s coming from Houston Christian and was a safety at Cornell a few years ago. But he’s flashed a bit during this training camp and certainly doesn’t look as raw as some expected. He still faces an uphill battle to really work his way into the rotation as soon as a rookie but the physical tools have been on display.
WR Johnny Wilson
As the Eagles wait for someone to step up and win that No. 3 receiver job, the rookie from Florida State is looking good. The 6-foot-6…
