The Philadelphia Eagles are set to start training camp in late July, bringing five tailbacks and one fullback into the fold. Key questions surround the performance and roles of players like Saquon Barkley, who had a strong 2,000-yard season but raised doubts about his future after a drop to 1,140 yards last season. Tank Bigsby looks to secure a bigger role after earning fan support, while Will Shipley needs to establish his niche among several offensive weapons. Dameon Pierce is fighting for a roster spot due to declining production, and Elijah Mitchell may use the preseason to audition for other teams. The competition could shape the Eagles' backfield depth and strategy for the upcoming season.
