The 5 biggest Philadelphia Eagles storylines entering OTAs

The Eagles are entering Phase Three of the offseason program and that means the team is fast approaching training camp, with the group only expected to be together six more times before breaking until late July.

Phase Three consists of the next four weeks of the program where teams may conduct a total of 10 days of organized team practice activity, or “OTAs”.

Philadelphia will only conduct six sessions, with no live contact, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and no 11-on-11 drills as well.

With the rest of the offseason schedule now completed, here are the five biggest storylines to watch.

The Eagles are deep into the Third Phase of offseason workouts and that means six OTA sessions that are voluntary, running through next weekend.

Philadelphia won’t be holding any mandatory sessions this offseason, with the franchise focused on a healthy roster, and knowledge of the offensive and defensive schemes all across the board.

On Friday, the Eagles held their third of six OTA sessions, and several notable players took the day off for a variety of different reasons.

Here’s a list of players not in attendance for Friday’s Session.

Watch: James Bradberry takes the field for the first time as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia is in Phase Three of offseason workouts and as the team prepares for OTA sessions in the coming week, the top cornerback duo in the NFC took the field together for the first time during the offseason workouts.

James Bradberry joined the Eagles less than a week ago and on Monday, he hit the field with his new teammates at the NovaCare Complex for his first session with Jonathan Gannon’s revamped defense along with Haason Reddick, Kyzir White, Nakobe Dean, and first-round pick, Jordan Davis.

Bradberry and Darius Slay now form one of the top duos in the NFL, along with Avonte Maddox who is now flourishing as a slot cornerback. Philadelphia added Jimmy Moreland to the roster on Monday as well, adding to an already stacked cornerback room.

Eagles latest NFL team to announce they’re skipping voluntary offseason workouts

Eagles players announce they won’t attend voluntary offseason workouts

The Philadelphia Eagles have joined a growing list of teams that have agreed to skip voluntary offseason workouts amid uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

18 other teams have now expressed similar concerns about in-person onfield workouts amid health concerns.

In the statement, it says they feel it’s “unnecessary at this time for players to be volunteering to put themselves at risk for in-person workouts,” considering players are currently training on their own across the country and doing so safely.

Players won’t be required to attend team workouts until mandatory minicamp begins in June, with all OTAs and prior sessions being completely voluntary.

Philadelphia Eagles conclude virtual offseason program as training camp looms

Philadelphia Eagles conclude virtual offseason program

It’s been a difficult offseason for the Philadelphia Eagles but the next time this group gets together in an official capacity will mark the start of training camp.

The Eagles quietly wrapped-up their virtual offseason program, making the announcement on the team’s official website.

“I just really feel like we’re in a good place right now as a football team,” Pederson said during an interview with Eagles Insider Dave Spadaro on Monday. The entire interview can be heard on the Eagles Insider Podcast, presented by Lincoln Financial Group. “With the uncertainty of when Training Camp is about to start, I still wanted to have these guys fresh and ready and prepared mentally that way. By shutting things down, it gives them time to kind of catch their breath a little – coaches and players.”

The Eagles had the option to continue meeting up until June 26, but with nearly 60 days of video meetings and home workouts, Pederson fills the Eagles are ready to embark on the 2020 NFL season.
