Everything you need to know as Eagles begin 2026 training camp - NBC Sports Philadelphia

What the report says

NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that the Philadelphia Eagles opened their 2026 training camp week at the newly renamed Jefferson Health Training Complex in South Philadelphia. According to the outlet, players were due to report July 28, with the first practice set for July 29. The camp marks the franchise’s 14th in South Philadelphia since ending its Lehigh University run after Andy Reid’s final season in 2012.

The team’s schedule includes preseason games at Baltimore on Aug. 15, at New England on Aug. 22 and at home against Cincinnati on Aug. 28. NBC Sports Philadelphia also lists joint practices with the Patriots in New England on Aug. 19 and 20, a required roster cutdown to 53 players by 6 p.m. on Aug. 30, and a Sept. 13 regular-season opener against the Washington Commanders. The Eagles will hold one public practice, scheduled for Aug. 25 at Lincoln Financial Field, with ticket proceeds benefiting the Eagles Autism Foundation.

Key camp storylines identified by NBC Sports Philadelphia include major offensive changes under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion after the Eagles finished 24th in the NFL in offense last season, and the adjustment to life without A.J. Brown following his trade to the New England Patriots. DeVonta Smith is expected to lead the receiving group, with several offseason additions competing for roles.

The report also highlights Jalen Carter’s unresolved long-term contract situation after the team picked up his 2027 fifth-year option, high expectations for Vic Fangio’s defense, and position battles at safety, receiver, backup offensive line, edge rusher and backup quarterback behind Jalen Hurts.
