Overview

  • In the preseason opener, Ringo conceded four receptions for 79 yards and a touchdown while Jackson allowed four catches for 45 yards against the Bengals’ starters.
  • Philadelphia traded DT Thomas Booker to Las Vegas for CB Jakorian Bennett, who joined the Eagles’ camp this week.
  • Bennett took part in his first practice with the third unit on Saturday and will face further evaluation in joint sessions and next Saturday’s preseason game against the Browns.
  • DC Vic Fangio is relying on PFF analytics and stress-test schemes like Cover 0 to quantify players’ tackling technique, awareness and consistency.
  • Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean are the only confirmed starters at cornerback, leaving the second outside spot open to Bennett, Ringo, Jackson and rookies such as Mac McWilliams and Eli Ricks.
