We are in the final week of this 2025 Eagles Training Camp and it is going to go by quickly. There is a preseason game on Friday and then the Eagles, like the rest of the NFL, cut the roster to 53 players by Tuesday, August 26 at 4 PM.
And then it's on to September 4 and the Dallas Cowboys as the regular season begins.
What do we know about the Eagles? A lot, actually. Here are some top-of-mind conversations about this football team as it shapes up for the season ahead …
**1\. The offense has a chance to be very, very good … again**
So, understand this: Once practice ends on Wednesday, so does Training Camp in its public form. From that point forward, the practices will be closed and Offensive Coordinator Kevin Patullo will start preparations for the Cowboys. What that means is the offense we see on opening night is specifically designed to create favorable matchups for Philadelphia. At that time, we will get a sense of what wrinkles Patullo wants to include in the scheme.
The offense returns 10 starters from last season, and the 11th position has been manned very ably this summer by Tyler Steen at right guard. What is different about the offense is the obvious improvement from wide receiver Jahan Dotson, more depth in that room overall; the punch, power and versatility from newcomer A.J. Dillon at running back; the second-year uptick from running back Will Shipley; and a group overall that plays with confidence.
Should be fun to see. An NFL season is a long one, so there are no rushes to judgment, but the Eagles feel really good about the offense.
**2\. As in 2024, the Rookie Class looks like it can contribute right away**
Quinyon Mitchell started right away last season. Cooper DeJean played a huge part in the defense and in the punt return game. Jalyx Hunt stepped up on the edge late in the year. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Shipley and Johnny Wilson contributed.
We are very early here, but how can you not be excited by what you have seen from linebacker Jihaad Campbell? Safety Andrew Mukuba had two takeaways, one a 75-yard interception return for a touchdown, in his first preseason action on Saturday. Defensive tackle Ty Robinson has been active all summer.
The Rookie Class is off to a great start and that helps the depth of the roster so much.
