One week into Eagles Training Camp, the team shows high energy, talented players, and strong competition, especially at linebacker and cornerback positions. Notable highlights include Jihaad Campbell's impressive pass-rush skills, Jeff Stoutland's focus on offensive line improvement, and standout performances from cornerbacks like Quinyon Mitchell and Adoree' Jackson. The team is preparing for the upcoming preseason, emphasizing the importance of practice and competition for roster spots.
Roy Istvan, the Eagles' assistant offensive line coach since 2019, has left the team to join the Browns as their assistant offensive line coach under new Browns o-line coach Andy Dickerson. This move comes as somewhat of a surprise given Istvan's long-time connection with Eagles' coach Jeff Stoutland. Stoutland, on the other hand, has indicated his return to the Eagles' staff. Istvan is the seventh assistant coach from Nick Sirianni’s 2023 staff to leave the team, and the fate of several other assistants is still unknown. During Istvan's time with Stoutland, the Eagles had four offensive linemen make a total of 11 Pro Bowls.

The coach also mentions Dennis Kelly's versatility and the ongoing evaluation of his fit within the team.
