Philadelphia Eagles

Erik Ezukanma

WR

Ezukanma, a 2022 fourth-round pick, spent the first three seasons of his career with the Dolphins before being cut by the team last August. He then spent part of the 2025 campaign on Jacksonville's practice squad. All five of his career regular-season appearances have come with Miami. Ezukanma will now compete for a reserve role with Philadelphia.

AJ Epenesa

DE

Epenesa reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with the Browns in late March, but Cleveland ultimately backed out of the deal following his physical. He now appears to have moved past whatever issue was uncovered, as he's been brought in by the Eagles. The 2020 second-round pick from Iowa appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Bills last year, recording 32 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and four passes defensed, with two interceptions. Now in Philadelphia, Epenesa will likely operate as one of the team's top reserve edge rushers during the 2026 season.

Jihaad Campbell

LB

As defensive coordinator Vic Fangio stated in late May, the expectation is for Campbell to be ready for Eagles' training camp in July. Campbell, a 2025 first-round pick from Alabama, appeared in 17 regular-season games during his rookie campaign, recording 80 total tackles, three passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble. With Nakobe Dean's departure in free agency, Campbell is expected to operate as one of Philadelphia's top inside linebackers once healthy.

Eli Stowers

TE

The rookie second-round pick has a sleeve over his right leg and reportedly hasn't been doing much this week. Philadelphia's first-round pick, WR Makai Lemon, has also been absent from recent practices, nursing a hamstring injury that doesn't sound overly severe. Stowers' issue doesn't sound serious either, but it's possible he'll be limited for these last few practices before the Eagles break for the summer. Nothing at this stage hints at doubt about his availability for the start of training camp in late July. The concern for Stowers' fantasy value is Dallas Goedert's continued presence in Philadelphia, not a minor injury during OTAs.

Lane Johnson

OT

Johnson missed the last eight games of the 2025 campaign (including playoffs) with a Lisfranc injury but is now healthy again. The 36-year-old will once again serve as the Eagles' starting right tackle during the upcoming season.

Tanner McKee

QB

McKee was excellent in his lone 2025 preseason appearance, completing 20 of 25 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns while adding a third score on the ground. He looked like someone the Eagles could dangle in trade talks to a team looking to develop a potential starter at QB. However, McKee then disappointed in a Week 18 spot start against the Commanders, going 21-for-40 for 241 yards, one touchdown and one interception while absorbing three sacks in a 24-17 loss. The Eagles traded for Dalton in March, and it looks like McKee has been bumped down the depth chart as a result.

Zion Wilson

DT

The Eagles have become notorious in recent years for investing heavily in their defensive line, and Wilson's new contract includes $225,000 in guaranteed money, which is an relatively large figure for an undrafted rookie. He'll be competing for a depth role behind a stacked front three if he can land a spot on the final 53-man roster for 2026.

Elijah Mitchell

RB

After trying out during Philadelphia's rookie camp earlier this spring, per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Mitchell is getting a bigger chance as offseason workouts resume. There could be room for legitimate competition in the Eagles' backfield behind Saquon Barkley, as both Tank Bigsby and 2024 fourth-rounder Will Shipley are relatively unproven.

Makai Lemon

WR

The 2026 first-round pick observed practice off to the side with his right leg in a compression sleeve. Following Monday's trade of A.J. Brown to the Patriots, Lemon is expected to operate as the Eagles' WR2 alongside DeVonta Smith this season. The severity of his hamstring injury isn't clear, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Lemon is done for the remainder of OTAs, with the focus being on having him fully healthy for training camp in July.

Samori Toure

WR

The seventh-round pick of the Packers in 2022 appeared in 22 regular-season games with his original team across his first two NFL campaigns. Toure spent the majority of last year on New Orleans' practice squad before playing in the regular-season finale. The wide receiver joins a crowded depth chart in Philadelphia that includes DeVonta Smith, 2026 first-round pick Makai Lemon and offseason additions Dontayvion Wicks, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore.

DeVonta Smith

WR

In anticipation of trading Brown, Philadelphia bolstered its wide receiver room by selecting Makai Lemon in the first round of this year's draft, in addition to trading for Dontayvion Wicks and signing Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore in free agency. Smith figures to work ahead of those offseason additions after posting the third 1,000-yard regular season of his five-year career in 2025. Philadelphia's 2021 first-round draft pick has averaged 111 targets in his first five regular seasons, the last four of which came while starting alongside Brown.

Myles Hinton

OT

On paper, Hinton's length (6-foot-6, 34-inch arms) makes him better suited for work at tackle, but even still, his path to playing time might be clearer inside, given Philadelphia's offensive line personnel otherwise. Hinton figures to be a depth option if he can earn a spot on the 53-man roster for 2026.

Willie Lampkin

C

The Eagles claimed Lampkin off waivers last August but kept him on IR for the entire season. He's currently in competition with Drew Kendall for the backup center spot behind Cam Jurgens.

Johnny Wilson

WR

The wide receiver suffered a season-ending knee injury in August of last year. Wilson is not only back for OTAs, but receiving some first-team reps ahead of Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore, per Erby. The 2024 sixth-round pick caught five passes for 38 yards and a score as a rookie.

Andrew Mukuba

S

Mukuba missed Philadelphia's last seven games (including playoffs) of the 2025 season due to an ankle injury, but it now appears he's recovered from the issue. Prior to picking up the injury, the 2025 second-round pick from Texas had emerged as a crucial part of the Eagles' secondary, recording 46 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and three passes defensed, with two interceptions, across 11 appearances. He's expected to operate as the team's top free safety during the 2026 campaign.

Cooper DeJean

CB

Dejean played many of his 2025 snaps as the slot cornerback in the Eagles' scheme, but it appears the team intends to test Marcus Epps with a competition for the starting strong safety job. With Michael Carter joining the team after a 2025 midseason trade, it seems defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is attempting to maximize his defensive backs. Both Dejean and Carter have received All-Pro votes at slot cornerback, with Dejean winning first team honors in 2025. If Dejean can translate that talent to safety, the Eagles could field elite value at both positions as they attempt to defend the NFC East title.

Nolan Smith Jr.

LB

According to a representative of the Twiggs County Sheriff's Office, Smith's vehicle was clocked at 130 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone while the 25-year-old was driving on the interstate. A court date for Smith's case has been set for July 14, though he wouldn't have to appear if he agrees to pay the fines associated with his citations. A 2023 first-round draft pick, Smith has accrued 10.5 sacks and 25 quarterback hits over 45 career games during the regular season and was a standout performer in the Eagles' run to the Super Bowl in 2024, when he racked up 4.0 sacks in four playoff contests.

Tucker Large

S

Large signed with the team as an undrafted free agent May 1 but ended up spending less than a week on their active roster. He will now miss at least the first four games of the regular season.

Jalen Carter

DT

The cost to maintain Carter's services through 2027 comes at a hefty $27 million. The defensive tackle earned Pro Bowl honors in both 2024 and 2025, adding value to his fifth-year option. Carter missed multiple games due to various injuries last season, as well as being ejected in Week 1 for an incident involving him spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. When Carter was on the field, he produced 33 tackles (21 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and seven passes defensed over 12 regular-season games (really 11 since he was ejected before the first snap of Week 1).

Keyshawn James-Newby

LB

James-Newby enjoyed a six-year college career that ended with New Mexico in 2025, when he was selected to the All-MWC First-Team after posting 52 total tackles, including 9.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and five pass defenses across 13 games. He's not the most powerful pass-rushing prospect in the draft, but James-Newby beat opposing blockers with his burst off the snap, and he'll need to become a more reliable tackler to see meaningful snaps at the NFL level. He'll compete with the likes of Jalyx Hunt, Jose Ramirez, Arnold Ebiketie and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka for rotational snaps at the edge rusher position behind Nolan Smith and the newly acquired Jonathan Greenard (shoulder).

Uar Bernard

DT

Bernard (6-foot-4, 306 pounds) put together an impressive workout performance at the International Player Pathway Pro Day, highlighted by a 4.69 40-yard dash and a 39-inch vertical. Though he has not played organized football at the collegiate level, Philadelphia is intrigued enough by the potential of his rare combination of size and athleticism to invest draft capital into Bernard's development. While Bernard looks set to begin his career working at defensive tackle, he could also test his hand at edge rusher or along the O-line.

Cole Wisniewski

S

Wisniewski probably is not a serious starting safety candidate at the NFL level, but at 6-foot-3, 219 pounds the Texas Tech product has the build to crash hard against the run from the strong safety position. His 2025 season with the Red Raiders was his sixth collegiate season after playing the prior five years at North Dakota State, mostly as a backup. The Eagles will probably be content if Wisniewski can simply play on special teams.

Micah Morris

G

Morris didn't start in his first three seasons at Georgia but saw some action at right guard in 2024 before starting at left guard in all 14 games in 2025. He provides solid pass protection and is a powerful blocker in the run game, though his success was limited to specific schemes. Morris has a great opportunity to improve his game in Philadelphia, where he'll provide depth at guard behind Landon Dickerson and Tyler Steen.

Cole Payton

QB

Payton finally took over the starting job at North Dakota State in his fifth season and looked excellent, completing 72 percent of passes for 2,719 yards (12.1 YPA), 16 touchdowns and four interceptions while rushing 136 times for 777 yards and 13 touchdowns. He has a strong arm that still needs some tuning with its accuracy, but his legs are phenomenal. Payton had six carries of 30-plus yards in 2025 before running a 4.56-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3, 232 pounds at the NFL Combine. His tools are rare, but his lack of experience is a concern and can easily remind us of former NDSU quarterback Trey Lance. However, Payton is less risky as a fifth-round pick (Lance went third overall), meaning the Eagles can take their time with his development while Jalen Hurts remains the starter. The Eagles also have quarterbacks Tanner McKee and Andy Dalton on the roster, and one of those two will need to get cut for Payton to make the 53-man roster.

Markel Bell

OT

Bell emerged as Miami's starter at left tackle in 2024 and was the full-time starter in 2025, when he was tasked with protecting Carson Beck. Bell was named to the All-ACC Third-Team in his senior year, when he did not allow a sack and logged the fifth-most offensive snaps in the FBS. He has a 6-foot-9, 346-pound frame that makes him a top-heavy blocker, but that towering presence could make it difficult for Bell to keep up with speedy pass rushers. Still, those skills should build with time and reps, and Bell will have the opportunity to learn behind veteran offensive tackles Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson (foot).
