Philadelphia Eagles enter 2026 season with new offensive coaching schemes

The Philadelphia Eagles open the 2026 season featuring a new offensive scheme under first-year coordinator Sean Mannion. While 10 of 11 starters return, the roster underwent changes, including the departure of wide receiver A.J. Brown. The team anticipates production from edge rusher Jalyx Hunt, who led the squad in sacks and interceptions last year. Defensive acquisition Jonathan Greenard is currently sidelined with a pectoral injury but is expected back early in the season. Analysts project running back Saquon Barkley for 1,500 yards while expect receiver DeVonta Smith to take a larger role as the clear top target. Rookie offensive tackle Markel Bell remains in reserve behind veteran starters Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata as the team begins its regular season schedule.
