Digest more
It's early, and reading too much into things is par for the training camp course, but Eagles fans can rest easy. The Birds are focused. Jalen Hurts is back, and the ball is barely touching the ground. Take that, Cam Newton! Rumors of Hurts' demise have been greatly exaggerated.
Eagles DB Cooper DeJean, the subject of a viral parody about his position, will take reps at safety in training camp.
Also, Vic Fangio gives an early assessment of Jihaad Campbell, while the depth chart for the defensive front emerges.
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.
Though this probably means little this early, there was one notable blip on the Eagles depth chart during the first day of camp practice.
