Eagles practice notes, Day 3: Lots of punting, and more injuries – PhillyVoice.com

Dallas Goedert (upper body), day to day.

Undoubtedly, the “week to week” notation for Sanders is the most concerning, but the indication that I got is that theres no threat of him missing out on time throughout the regular season.

Duce Staley just recently said that Sanders was going to get heavy usage this season, and he repeated that believed Wednesday morning.
” I believe that Miles can do it all, and when you have a person like Miles that can make people miss out on, that can lower his shoulder and likewise run you over, you want to put the ball in his hands as much as possible and you trust him,” Staley stated. “I believe thats what we are. We have Corey [Clement], we have Boston [Scott], we have a cast of younger guys, also, and well see what they can do here shortly. But as much as I can give the ball to Miles and let him develop and go out there and just sort of simply trust him to do the best thing, I think you do it as much as possible.”
Naturally, when Sanders is unexpectedly gone, like he will be in camp for a while, it is easy to see why the Eagles were looking to add depth earlier this offseason.

Day 3 of Philadelphia Eagles training school remains in the books, and it was merely a rainy walkthrough. There was a great deal of punting, and some new injury discoveries. Lets get to the notes, which Im just composing due to the fact that I think I experience OCD (not identified).
– (Clears throat) … Injuries
In addition to Derek Barnett and Javon Hargrave, who will both be out for a while, there were some brand-new additions to the injury report.

Beyond Sanders, Scott is a good complementary piece, and Clement has looked healthy this camp, however the Eagles lack a true power back who can eat brings in the 2nd half of video games when the group has a lead, or merely offer Sanders a few series off occasionally.
The Eagles do not want to invest much cash on a backup running back (nor need to they), but Howie Roseman might still be monitoring the running back trade market (think Day 3 pick), as he found good worth there in the past with men like Jay Ajayi and Jordan Howard.
When he went on the COVID-reserve list a couple of weeks ago, – Nate Gerry exposed that he did undoubtedly test favorable for coronavirus. He was activated from the list on August 9.
– J.J. Arcega-Whiteside returned today, as did Jason Peters, though as kept in mind already, it was only a walkthrough. Still, when Arcega-Whiteside and DeSean Jackson were on the field with Jalen Reagor, Reagor was lined up in the slot, with Arcega-Whiteside and Jackson on the exterior. I guess in addition to learning the Z and X areas, Reagor is also finding out the slot position.
– Punting was the centerpiece of practice today, with Cameron Johnston performing 2 long punting sessions. During the first session, Johnston was just letting it rip, while in the 2nd session, it appeared like he was working on putting various sort of spins on the ball. I timed the hang time for each of his very first punts throughout the “let it rip” session:

Did I break out my field glasses to recognize all the bucket-hat using Eagles? Yes, yes I did, and that should inform you how uneventful Wednesdays practice was. Itll probably be an enjoyable one tomorrow.

Day 3 of Philadelphia Eagles training camp is in the books, and it was merely a rainy walkthrough. – During the very first punting session, Reagor get nearly every rep. He muffed a couple of punts in the very first media-attended practice in camp, so it makes sense to offer him as numerous representatives as he can get. The Eagles have not had a hazardous punt returner considering that Darren Sproles decline a couple of years back, and Reagor has the opportunity to be an explosive playmaker on unique teams in addition to the routine offense. Initially the Eagles have be sure hes not going to turn it over.

Missed the time on the very first punt, oops.

Previous training camp notes.

In walkthrough practices, I seem like the pail hat is a strong appearance. Container hats today: Wentz, Kelce, Slay, Maddox, Mills, McLeod, B. Scott, Epps, Arnold, and Raequan Williams.– Jimmy Kempski (@JimmyKempski) August 19, 2020.

In contrast to other occasions in which Ive timed punts, Johnston had a whole lot of punts with more than five seconds of hang time, consisting of a couple of bombs. He looked great.
– During the very first punting session, Reagor get almost every rep. He muffed a couple of punts in the first media-attended practice in camp, so it makes good sense to give him as many reps as he can get. The Eagles havent had a harmful punt returner considering that Darren Sproles decline a couple of years earlier, and Reagor has the opportunity to be an explosive playmaker on unique groups in addition to the routine offense. First the Eagles have be sure hes not going to turn it over.
