Eagles linebacker Jihaad Campbell is ready for training camp after offseason shoulder surgery. Campbell's role as starting inside linebacker opened up after Nakobe Dean signed with the Raiders. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio stated that Campbell will focus solely on inside linebacker, signaling a strengthened position for the Eagles. Veteran Brandon Graham's potential return is being considered especially as Jonathan Greenard is currently on the physically unable to perform list due to a pectoral muscle strain, which may affect the edge rusher depth this summer.
