Overview

• In his second preseason game at Lincoln Financial Field, Campbell recorded four tackles, a sack on Dillon Gabriel and a tackle-for-loss while playing with the first-unit defense.
• After offseason labrum surgery, he accelerated through rehab to earn significant first-unit reps as Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean missed time with injuries.
• Philadelphia traded up to the No. 31 pick to draft Campbell and signed him to a fully guaranteed four-year rookie contract, underscoring long-term commitment.
• Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio praised Campbell’s rapid mastery of the hybrid scheme but acknowledged he is adjusting the rookie’s edge-rushing workload to focus on technique.
• Campbell now leads contenders for a starting off-ball linebacker spot alongside Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Smael Mondon as the Eagles approach their Aug. 26 roster cutdown.
