Overview

• The Eagles named Jake Elliott, Jalen Hurts, Lane Johnson, Jordan Mailata, A.J. Brown, Zack Baun, Saquon Barkley, and Reed Blankenship as 2025 captains.
• Philadelphia opens the regular season next Thursday against the Cowboys, with the Chiefs on the schedule in Week 2 as part of a tougher early slate.
• Offseason turnover created secondary questions after exits including Darius Slay and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, while additions featured Adoree’ Jackson, Josh Uche, Azeez Ojulari, and Jakorian Bennett.
• Team planning points include managing Saquon Barkley’s carries below roughly 300 and sharing snaps with added depth such as AJ Dillon, Will Shipley, and practice-squad options.
• Kevin Patullo takes over as offensive coordinator after Kellen Moore left for the Saints’ head job, and analysts expect Vic Fangio to lean on a deep front seven to support a reworked back end.
