Eagles showcase strong running game and mixed quarterback performance in Day 2 of training camp

Summary

Philadelphia Eagles' Day 2 camp featured notable rushing plays by Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby, while quarterback play was uneven for both Jalen Hurts and Cole Payton.

The Philadelphia Eagles completed the second day of their training camp with a focus on the middle field, where the offense ran without pads. Running backs Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby each recorded long runs after the first-team offense opened sizable gaps, and backup running back Elijah Mitchell also broke off a sizable gain.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts struggled with accuracy, delivering low throws to DeVonta Smith and underthrowing a deep pass intended for Hollywood Brown that was nearly intercepted. He did connect on a deep play-action pass to Dontayvion Wicks on the left sideline, which was highlighted as a standout play.

Cole Payton had a difficult session, throwing three interceptions, including one that was deflected off a defender before being caught by A.J. Epenesa, and two others intercepted by Chance Campbell and Keyshawn James-Newby.

The defensive line rotation was outlined, noting starters Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo, with Byron Young, Ta'Quon Graham and Gabe Hall as the next group. Jake Elliott attempted seven kicks, converting six.

The official injury report listed no players as absent or limited for the practice.
