The Eagles returned to the NovaCare Complex after a day off, and roster battles officially began with 1-on-1s and some hard-hitting action during the team period.
Everything outside of warmups and individual drills was off-limits to the cameras, and We have highlights and notes from a critical fifth practice.

Rashaad Penny
Being versatile is important and Philadelphia had just about every skill player taking punt and kick returns.

Nakobe Dean
Dean provided an early scare after he was forced to exit practice with an injury.
Nakobe Dean went to injury tent earlier. He’s now standing on sidelines without helmet. #Eagles

Nolan Smith the HYBRID Linebacker
We’ve talked about Smith dwarfing into a do-it all style linebacker and Sean Desai is moving the rookie all over the place.
Nolan Smith had a couple really nice rushes in OL-DL 1-on-1s to close out practice. Had a ghost move against Tyler Steen and then a push-pull reverse-pancake against Trevor Reid.
Safe to say he’s ready for more reps against the starters. #Eagles

Milton Williams
Williams should put up solid numbers while playing multiple positions.
Milton Williams with some monster reps during 1v1s. He could pop off this season.
