Eagles training camp observations: Quinyon Mitchell vs. DeVonta Smith originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Before heading to New England for a joint practice against the Patriots on Tuesday, the Eagles went for over 1 1/2 hours at the NovaCare Complex on Sunday morning.
They were in shorts and shells for this practice but will obviously be in full pads on Tuesday against the Patriots. Super Bowl hero Corey Clement was on hand as a spectator.
Here are some observations from Sunday’s session:
1. As always, housekeeping:
• Before practice, the Eagles signed safety Caden Sterns and waived linebacker Shaquille Quarterman. Sterns was recently waived by the Broncos and claimed by the Panthers but failed his physical and was waived again. Sterns isn’t practicing yet with the Eagles but was on a side field wearing a No. 37 gray Eagles hoodie. Sterns had a compression sleeve on his left leg. Signing a player during camp who can’t practice seems like a sign that Sterns is more than a camp body. He played for Vic Fangio and Christian Parker in Denver.
• Didn’t practice: Oren Burks (knee), Grant Calcaterra (shoulder), Parris Campbell (groin), C.J. Gardner-Johnson (shoulder), Albert Okwuegbunam (abdomen)
• Limited: Mehki Garner (hamstring), Patrick Johnson (lower leg contusion), Brandon Smith (concussion)
• Cooper DeJean is still on the NFI list and hasn’t practice yet this summer but he went through what looked like a pretty intense workout on a side field on Sunday. It wasn’t just straight-line running. DeJean has a hamstring injury and was expected to miss about three weeks. He was put on NFI on July 23. Hamstrings can be fickle but Tuesday marks the three week mark from that date. Perhaps we see him on the field the next practice at the NovaCare Complex.
2. Some depth chart notes:
• Mekhi Becton continues to get all the first-team reps at right guard as Tyler Steen gets the second-team reps at the position. This is clearly Becton’s job to lose.
