Eagles Enter 2025 Training Camp Facing Key Offensive, Defensive Challenges

As the Philadelphia Eagles kick off their 2025 training camp aiming to defend their Super Bowl title, several key concerns and questions emerge across the roster. On offense, managing Saquon Barkley's heavy workload remains critical, with running back AJ Dillon returning from injury to share the load, while the team seeks a dependable third wide receiver behind stars A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Quarterback Jalen Hurts faces his sixth play caller in six seasons with new offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo inheriting a high-powered offense that must be carefully managed to maintain success. The offensive line's right guard position is under scrutiny due to competition and injury history, and rookie Will Shipley's versatility is being tested. Defensively, the Eagles must replace several key veterans, including Brandon Graham, while assessing the health of linebacker Nakobe Dean and integrating new defensive backs. Additionally, contract negotiations continue to be a concern, highlighted by second-round pick Drew Mukuba's unsigned status as training camp begins.
