Eagles Training Camp Surprise
Digest more
Ringo is a candidate for the starting cornerback job opposite of Quinyon Mitchell, and had the majority of the first-team reps at outside cornerback when the Eagles were in nickel defense (which Philadelphia runs a majority of the time). The first impression wasn't ideal.
Eagles linebacker-turned-fullback Ben VanSumeren may see an expanded role on offense in 2025. As the Eagles kicked off training camp on Wednesday, VanSumeren got reps as a running back with the third-team offense.
Though this probably means little this early, there was one notable blip on the Eagles depth chart during the first day of camp practice.
The Eagles start training camp in preparation for the 2025 season following their Super Bowl 59 win. See dates, preseason schedule and key players.
The Eagles drafted Central Florida cornerback Mac McWilliams in the fifth round of this year’s draft and signed veteran cornerback Adoree’ Jackson in free agency, pushing Ricks to the sixth spot on the depth chart. General manager Howie Roseman could hold onto Ricks or trade him for depth at a different position.
"Toward the end of the Eagles’ first training camp practice on Wednesday, cornerback Kelee Ringo expressed his frustration by smacking his hands together. He was in good position on wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. near the left sideline, but he couldn’t knock it away from Marshall’s hands and gave up his third big catch of the day."
