5:12 PM: His resume says it all: five times an All-Pro player. Six times a Pro Bowl selection. Twice a Super Bowl winner and three Super Bowl appearances in his incredible 12 seasons on the field. But for Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson, there is a long way to go before he thinks about the ultimate individual honor.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame.

"Got a ways to go, man," Johnson said. "That stuff is post-playing career, so that's something I'll think about more when my time is done. I guess when you're in it, you're so busy, pre-occupied with attacking each day and each season. You don't get a whole lot of time to reflect."I'm just going to keep pushing and see where it goes."

Running back Saquon Barkley nodded his head when Johnson was asked about his reaction to others talking about him as a Pro Football Hall of Famer, leaving no doubt that anyone who has been on the field with Johnson understands his greatness.He is great and playing the best football of his career.

"As he mentioned, he's still got some more to go," Barkley said, "but that's Lane Johnson, definitely a Hall of Famer. First ballot. For me, to be able to be on this team, to be able to play with him and see how he prepares every day, I understand why he's been so successful and continues to play at such a high level."

The Pro Football Hall of Fame? It's out there for Johnson. Everyone sees what he is doing on the football field, the success he is having. But for Johnson, the goal is to continue to prepare the way he always prepares and play at a star level for a long, long time. – Dave Spadaro

3:34 PM: Second-year man Jalyx Hunt is expected to make a big leap as an edge player in this defense, and offensive tackle Jordan Mailata has seen enough to label Hunt as more than just a "promising" talent.

He has a chance, Mailata says, to be a lot more.

"Awww man, he's going to be special. He's going to be special, man," said Mailata, who practiced against Hunt all of the 2024 season after the Eagles made Hunt a third-round draft pick from Houston Christian (the first-ever NFL Draft pick from that school). "His burst... he has tendencies like Micah (Parsons, Dallas Cowboys star), just to be able to cut on a dime like that. Man, I'm so proud of that guy, the way he works.

"I'm going from Josh Sweat (former Eagle now with Arizona) to Jalyx, it's crazy. I was just like, 'Howie, give me a break for one year, jeez. Jalyx, he's gonna be a star, man. And I'm glad now I get to go up against him because I know that if he's giving me hell, he's gonna give everyone else hell."

Hunt came on in his rookie season – recording 1.5 quarterback sacks, 17 total tackles, and nine quarterback pressures in 241 defensive snaps during the regular season and then stepping up with another 1.5 quarterback sacks, nine total tackles, and eight quarterback pressures in the four postseason games (103 defensive snaps). – Dave Spadaro

1:13 PM: One year ago, new Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio was implementing his defense in his first Training Camp in Philly, but now the foundation has been set. One of the keys of Philadelphia's top-ranked defense in 2024 was Zack Baun, who burst onto the scene with an All-Pro season.

With a year playing for Fangio under his belt, Baun sees a big difference in the unit to start this Training Camp.

"I like the way we're looking. I feel like we're far ahead of where we were at this time last year," Baun said after Wednesday's practice. "It's looking good. Obviously, some things to improve on and create a new identity as a defense, but I like where we're at." – Matt Ryan

9:57 AM: With linebacker Nakobe Dean starting Training Camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list as he recovers from his knee surgery, the Eagles are looking at some new faces at the linebacker position, including first-round draft pick Jihaad Campbell, who is active and at practice on Wednesday.

"I'm excited about that entire room," Head Coach Nick Sirianni said. "It will be fun to get out there and compete. That's what Training Camp is, it's competition, competing every day. That's what the season is. This is great preparation for the season, to get ready to play each game.

"Really excited about that room. We've got some guys back for their second and third year and we also have some young guys that we're excited to see. I know Bobby King (linebackers coach) and Ronnell (Willians, assistant linebackers coach) will do a great job. Obviously, the linebacker position is big on special teams as well and we'll see that and see how these guys develop. That's our job. Howie (Roseman, Executive Vice President/General Manager) gets us great players. You can't be great without great players, that's for sure. Our (coaches) job is to develop them to become even better players through their fundamentals, through their awareness, whether it's offense or defense, their situational awareness. So, that's what this time is for."

Sirianni added that Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio would be "all over" the linebackers, his specialty.

Campbell, the 31st overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, had a "great" summer, said Sirianni, and took part in the first day of Training Camp practice.

As for Dean, who suffered a torn patellar tendon late in the 2024 season, the Eagles say he is making excellent progress in his recovery.

"He's doing a great job with his rehab," Roseman said. "We can't wait to get him back." – Dave Spadaro

5:00 AM: Training Camp 2025 officially opened on Tuesday as the players reported to the NovaCare Complex and finished everything they needed to finish before practice begins today at 10 AM. Any leftover physical work and paperwork was done, the players had their Media Day shoots to prepare for in-stadium visuals and television introductions and all of the "hype" surrounding 2025, and also had the mandatory conditioning tests on the field.

Meetings were held, T's were crossed and I's were dotted and now it is time to see how the roster comes together.

The schedule today is as follows: Executive Vice President/General Manager Howie Roseman and Head Coach Nick Sirianni hold their initial Training Camp press conference at 9:30 AM (which can be seen live on PhiladelphiaEagles.com and our social media channels), and the first practice starts at 10 AM and will run until approximately 11:15 AM. Following the first practice, several Eagles players are scheduled to meet the media, including Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Zack Baun, A.J. Brown, Lane Johnson, Jordan Mailata, and DeVonta Smith.

It's hard to believe this, but it's true: The team has its first preseason game on August 7 against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals, and if you do the math, it's just over two weeks away!!

Welcome to the 2025 Philadelphia Eagles season! There is nothing slow about the first steps here. The Eagles are racing full steam into the campaign ahead! – Dave Spadaro
