Eagles DT Jordan Davis Cuts 26 Pounds, Enters Season Leaner

Jordan Davis, a defensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles, has undergone a significant physical transformation ahead of the 2025 NFL season, shedding 26 pounds to improve his conditioning and on-field performance. Originally weighing over 350 pounds, Davis now comes into training camp at about 330 pounds, a weight he last saw during his sophomore year of college, allowing him to increase his stamina and potentially enhance his pass-rushing abilities. This change is partly motivated by the departure of teammate Milton Williams, which places greater responsibility on Davis to anchor the Eagles' defensive line, a unit crucial to their recent Super Bowl success against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite losing weight, Davis emphasizes that he remains powerful and focused on being a consistent presence throughout games, aiming to contribute more effectively on all downs. The Eagles have expressed confidence in Davis, having exercised his fifth-year option for 2026, and are reportedly preparing for possible contract extension talks. The team, returning most of its Super Bowl-winning roster, is poised to defend its title starting with a season opener against the Dallas Cowboys in September.
