The Philadelphia Eagles' training camp is still in its early stages, but some players are already making an impact. Here's a breakdown of who's rising and who's falling after the first week of camp.
Stocking Up
Jalyx Hunt: The EDGE player is a force to be reckoned with. His background as a safety and playmaking abilities, combined with his newfound muscle and speed, make him a standout performer. Hunt's versatility as a pass rusher and run defender is a significant advantage for the team.
Jalen Carter: Carter, a talented defensive player, is living up to the hype. His dominant performance in 2024, despite shoulder concerns, has continued into 2026. Carter's ability to dominate the backfield and tackle offensive linemen showcases his all-around prowess.
Tank Bigsby: Bigsby's energy and speed on the field are impressive. After a somewhat underutilized first season, he's now a key player in the backfield, receiving both carries and targets. His performance during training camp suggests a brighter future.
Dontayvion Wicks: Wicks is proving himself as a reliable receiver. His route-running, blocking, and hands make him a valuable asset. While DeVonta Smith is the clear top receiver, Wicks is quickly establishing himself as the No. 2 option.
Joshua Weru: An international rookie, Weru is a hidden gem. His explosive speed and developing counter pass rush techniques make him a promising prospect. While Uar Bernard is more hyped, Weru's performance so far is equally impressive.
Stocking Down
Makai Lemon: Unfortunately, Lemon's hamstring injury has already impacted his performance. He was quiet during the first three practices and is now on the shelf again. His injury history and lack of production make him a concern.
Eli Stowers: Stowers has been quiet and underperforming, mirroring Lemon's struggles.
Ty Robinson: Robinson, an early fourth-round pick, is primarily working with the developmental unit. His limited reps suggest he's still finding his place in the team.
Will Shipley: Shipley's performance has been underwhelming. He's been out-repped by Bigsby and struggled with a big play opportunity. His position as the presumed RB2 is now in question.
Tanner McKee: McKee's competition with Andy Dalton for the QB2 spot is now in doubt. Dalton has outperformed McKee, indicating a potential shift in the team's strategy.
As the camp progresses, these players' performances will shape the Eagles' future. It's an exciting time for fans, as the team's depth and talent are becoming more apparent.
