Eagles Host Three Free Agents for Training Camp Visits
The workouts let the team update players' medical status so coaches can evaluate practice and preseason depth before their opener.
Overview
- The Eagles hosted defensive tackle David Blay, running back Ja'Quinden Jackson and edge rusher Tarron Jackson for visits at the Jefferson Health Training Complex, which occurred Sunday according to the NFL personnel notice.
- No signings have been announced and the team framed the meetings as routine medical checks and short-term depth evaluations rather than guaranteed contracts.
- David Blay is viewed as the most likely candidate to earn a deal because of his youth, interior pass-rush production and local ties after being released by New England earlier in August.
- Ja'Quinden Jackson offers a power running option after time on Jacksonville's practice squad and could provide preseason carries or short-yardage work, while Tarron Jackson visited so the Eagles can re-check his health following a 2025 neck injury.
- Bringing free agents into camp is a normal way for teams to refresh emergency lists and add practice bodies, so any signing would likely respond to injuries or a clear need rather than signal a major roster change now.
