The Eagles returned to the practice on Friday for the second intense training camp session of the summer.
Philadelphia held a walkthrough on Thursday and went hard for a little over an hour before having an off day on Saturday.
The rookies from Georgia were impactful once again, while defensive coordinator Sean Desai started the process of creating a “physical” and impactful defense for 2023.
With complete practice, here are some early soundbites and quotes from Day 2.
DeVonta Smtih
The Heisman Trophy winner will be eligible for a contract extension after the fourth day of the new year.
DeVonta Smith isn’t worried about a new contract heading into year 3.
“I’m just out here playing football. When it happens, it happens.” #Eagles

Jalen Carter
The No. 9 overall pick has big goals and anspirations.
Jalen Carter says one of his goals this season is to win Defensive Rookie of the Year. Feels like this Sean Desai defense fits him.

Nick Sirianni
Looking to maintain his edge, Sirianni has started camp out intense, and barking about silly mistakes.
Nick Sirianni explains why he went off today at practice: “I got after the offense, I didn't like the ball security drill that we started off with. Not the drill itself, I didn't like some of the fundamentals.”
