Five players that stood out on Day 3 of Eagles’ training camp

While the league celebrates Back Together Weekend on ESPN and the NFL Network, Philadelphia returned to practice on Sunday.

The Birds have the lightest workload in the NFL and will rest after two intense and semi-efficient days of practice at the NovaCare Complex.

Depth charts and rotations are beginning to get sorted out on both sides of the football, while the Georgia defenders are quickly adjusting at all three levels of defense.

With the Eagles returning to practice on Sunday morning, five players stood out.

James Bradberry

The All-Pro is using the holding call from Philadelphia’s Super Bowl loss as motivation, and he’s been outstanding throught the first three practice sessions.

Philadelphia could choose to use Rashaad Penny for the tough yards, while allowing Swift to feast in the passing game.

Hurts is an elite quarterback and his accuracy is starting to join an elite group as well. The third highest paid quarterback in league history is off to a blistering start.
