Eagles Training Camp Practice Notes: Quinyon Mitchell nabs interception while being named to NFL Top 100

Observations from the NovaCare Complex.

Today marked the ninth Philadelphia Eagles training camp practice ahead of the 2025 NFL season. The padded session lasted for about one hour and 45 minutes. Here’s what I observed at the NovaCare Complex.

EAGLES PRACTICE NOTES

• Nick Sirianni had the Eagles working on a lot of situational football on Monday. Offense backed up against their own end zone, third down conversion to ice the game, etc.
• JALEN HURTS UPDATE: Strong day for Hurts, especially considering the situational context. With the Eagles’ offense backed up against their own goal line, Hurts hit DeVonta Smith for a first down completion near the left sideline despite tight coverage from Quinyon Mitchell. Hurts hit Johnny Wilson on a slant for another third down conversion. Facing 3rd-and-7 from the minus 4-yard line, Hurts connected with Jahan Dotson for yet another first down. Hurts made a real nice layered throw to DeVonta Smith in the middle of the field for a 15+ yard gain that had run after the catch potential. No surprise here but Hurts stepped up when the pressure was on. Nice to see him heating back up after a cool stretch.
• EAGLES INJURY REPORT:

LB Zack Baun (back contusion)
WR A.J. Brown (hamstring)

DT Byron Young (groin)

Baun has missed five straight practices.

Marshall has missed four straight practices.

Young is a new addition to the injury report.

LIMITED PARTICIPATION

LS Charley Hughlett (neck)
CB Mac McWilliams (quad)
S Andrew Mukuba (shoulder)
LB Nolan Smith (concussion)
LB Ben VanSumeren (ankle)

Nolan Smith returned to team drills ... before then leaving practice early with trainers.

Hughlett was limited for the second day in a row. The veteran was participating in some team drills.

McWilliams was upgraded to limited after missing two practices. He was limited to position drills. Ditto for VanSumeren.

Mukuba still isn’t participating in team drills. Vic Fangio indicated the rookie safety is unlikely to play in the Eagles’ first preseason game.

IN-PRACTICE INJURIES

Nolan Smith and Kenyon Green were seen leaving the practice field with trainers. Smith’s ailment wasn’t clear. Green had been seen vomiting.

Tyler Steen was down on the ground in pain after seemingly getting hit where the sun don’t shine. He didn’t miss any reps, however.

UPGRADED TO FULL PARTICIPATION

DeVonta Smith (back tightness), Jihaad Campbell (shoulder), and E.J. Jenkins (hamstring) were removed from the injury report.

• DeVonta Smith is still really good. He regularly gave the defense trouble. Cooper DeJean trailed him after a number of catches.
• The defensive play of the day was made by Quinyon Mitchell, who intercepted a Tanner McKee pass. The quarterback seemingly didn’t see him lurking in coverage. That’s Q’s second pick of training camp. And it happened right around the time when it was revealed that Mitchell...
