The Philadelphia Eagles will kick off their first training camp practice in ten days and have one of the NFL’s more versatile rosters in 2024.
The Eagles have a versatile and stacked roster, and that depth will make nailing down a roster spot a lot more difficult for players who had goals of being key contributors before the draft.
With July 23 fast approaching, we’re looking at six intriguing position battles to watch during the 2024 training camp.
Nolan Smith is in his second season after showing flashes in his rookie season of being a player with an excellent ability to bend the quarterback and win with speed and power.
He projects a significant role in 2024 but will battle Brandon Graham, Tarron Jackson, and Patrick Johnson for snaps behind Josh Sweat and Bryce Huff.
Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis are the headliners for a young defensive tackle unit in 2024 after losing veteran legend Fletcher Cox to retirement in the offseason.
Milton Williams is now the veteran of the defensive tackle group following the departure of Cox.
Williams started in 10 games and played 494 snaps in 2023, gathering a career-high 42 tackles and seven quarterback hits.
The battle for the fourth defensive tackle spot will be something to watch.
Marlon Tuipulotu will enter Year 4 after appearing in 14 games last season, finishing with 22 tackles (13 solo) and two sacks.
Moro Ojomo played primarily on special teams a year ago but looks to crack the rotation heading into Year 2.
Undrafted rookie free agent Gabe Hall provides length and size at 6-foot-6, 291 pounds.
