The Philadelphia Eagles have been ranked second in the NFL Future Power Rankings for 2027-29 according to a report by ESPN. General manager Howie Roseman is noted for quickly building contenders, supported by a young defense that averages 25.6 years of age. Concerns surround the transition to new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, whose ability to integrate quarterback Jalen Hurts into the revamped offensive system is considered crucial. Training camp practices revealed positive developments, including progress from receiver Makai Lemon, who is recovering from a hamstring injury, and increased opportunities for other receivers due to the absence of A.J. Brown. The Eagles are preparing for joint practices with the Patriots this week.
