Eagles face key roster battles during offseason training activities
Summary

As offseason training activities continue, the Philadelphia Eagles are navigating several competitive positions ahead of training camp. Key battles include the backup running back role, with Will Shipley facing challengers Tank Bigsby and Dameon Pierce. The linebacking corps sees Zack Baun and Jihaad Campbell contending for the third spot, while the cornerback competition intensifies behind mainstays Riq Woolen, Quinyon Mitchell, and Cooper DeJean. Starting safety remains uncertain alongside Andrew Mukuba, as Marcus Epps, J.T. Gray, and Michael Carter II vie for the position. The wide receiver and edge rusher positions also feature notable competition with first-round pick Makai Lemon and veterans like Hollywood Brown and Jonathan Greenard in the mix.
