28 Jul
Summary
- Jalen Hurts threw his first interception of training camp on July 31st
- Rookie Elijah Cooks impresses with highlight-reel catches, fighting for roster spot
- Linebacker Jeremiah Trotter trending towards starting job for season opener
The Philadelphia Eagles' training camp is in full swing, and the team has already seen some notable developments. On July 31st, quarterback Jalen Hurts, who was the Super Bowl LIX MVP just months ago, threw his first interception of the camp. However, this is not seen as a major concern, as Hurts went on to have a stellar season last year.
In other news, undrafted rookie wide receiver Elijah Cooks is making a strong case for a roster spot. Cooks has been turning heads with his impressive performances in practice, including a highlight-reel catch against Adoree Jackson that even drew applause from the cornerback. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound receiver is looking to make the most of his opportunity and could be a surprise addition to the Eagles' offense.
Additionally, second-year linebacker Jeremiah Trotter is trending towards earning a starting job for the season opener on September 4th. Trotter made a nice pass breakup on a throw from Hurts, showcasing his athleticism and coverage skills. With time still remaining in the preseason, Trotter is positioning himself as a potential key contributor to the Eagles' defense.
