Eagles training camp observations: Slay doesn’t look like a 33-year-old CB

Eagles training camp observations: Slay doesn’t look like a 33-year-old CB originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

The Eagles held their 10th training camp practice of the summer on an overcast Wednesday morning.

This session lasted about 1 hour and 16 minutes before a developmental period at the end. The Eagles were in shorts and shells after a couple tough days in pads.

The preseason will kick off for the Eagles on Friday night in Baltimore. Nick Sirianni would not divulge if his starters are going to play.

To today’s observations:

1. As always, housekeeping:

• Did not practice: Oren Burks (knee), Parris Campbell (groin), C.J. Gardner-Johnson (shoulder), Mehki Garner (hamstring), Brandon Smith (concussion)

• After being limited the last couple days, Tyler Steen (ankle) was listed as a full participant.

• John Ross, who left Tuesday’s practice early, was back on the field on Wednesday.

2. Some depth chart notes:

• Both Mekhi Becton and Tyler Steen were full participants in Wednesday’s practice and Becton was the first-team right guard. While Sirianni didn’t want to make a big deal about it, it’s clear that Becton is getting these reps over Steen. There’s a long way to go in this competition but the job might be Becton’s to lose.

• Second-team OL: Fred Johnson, Trevor Keegan, Brett Toth, Steen, Darian Kinnard

• Another day with Isaiah Rodgers getting the first crack at the RCB job opposite Darius Slay. And another day of Quinyon Mitchell as the first-team nickel. In 7-on-7s, eventually Slay came out and Rodgers slid over to the LCB spot and Mitchell was outside at the RCB; Tyler Hall took over in the slot.

• Without CJGJ, Reed Blankenship and Avonte Maddox were the first-team safeties but James Bradberry mixed in later.

• As has been the case all summer, Devin White and Zack Baun began the day as the top linebackers but then Nakobe Dean mixed in later.

• More first-team reps for Johnny Wilson and Britain Covey as WR3. Some of these periods…
