Eagles training camp observations: The Johnny Wilson hype train gains steam originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Eagles were back in full pads on Monday morning for one of the hottest practices of the summer so far.
They went for 1 hour and 34 minutes and it was steamy.
If Jason Kelce has any regrets about his decision to retire, he made a wise choice to show up for practice on Monday morning. He had to be thankful he didn’t have pads on today:
Let’s get to the observations:
1. As always, housekeeping:
• Before practice, the Eagles signed linebacker Shaquille Quarterman and released offensive lineman Jason Poe. The Eagles were a little light at the linebacker position.
• Did not practice: Oren Burks (knee), Parris Campbell (groin), Mekhi Garner (hamstring), Brandon Smith (concussion)
• Limited: Mechi Becton (illness), Tyler Steen (ankle), Eli Ricks (illness), Josh Jobe (concussion)
• Both C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Cam Jurgens both left Monday’s practice early. We’ll find out more about them on Tuesday morning.
2. Some depth chart notes:
• Becton was the Eagles’ first-team right guard to start practice but Steen didn’t participate in any team drills so it’s not that telling. We’ll see what happens when both are full participants again. Lane Johnson also seemed limited but that might have just been veteran rest; Fred Johnson filled in at right tackle.
• Second-team OL: Max Scharping, Trevor Keegan, Dylan McMahon, Matt Hennessy, Darian Kinnard
• Third-team OL: Laekin Vakalahi, Nick Gates, McMahon, Scharping, Anim Dankwah
• Johnny Wilson continued to get WR3 reps with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. More on Wilson in a moment.
• Isaiah Rodgers again got first crack at the first-team reps opposite Darius Slay. This was his fourth straight day. Rookie Quinyon Mitchell continues to get first-team nickel corner reps.
• Devin White and Zack Baun continue to be the top pairing at linebacker.
3. The Johnny Wilson hype isn’t going to die down…
