Eagles set expectations for Jihaad Campbell's summer

Our Summary

Eagles first-round pick Jihaad Campbell is on the road to recovery following shoulder surgery in March. Campbell recently participated in linebacker drills, marking a positive step in his rehabilitation. While he isn't fully cleared for practice yet, head coach Nick Sirianni emphasized the importance of Campbell gaining mental reps through observing walkthroughs and practices. Sirianni also set clear expectations for Campbell and the Eagles' rookie class to report in shape for training camp on July 22. Campbell's initial role is at inside linebacker, where the coaching staff believes there's more to learn compared to edge rusher. His versatility and potential have drawn comparisons to All-Pro Zack Baun, and there is optimism about utilizing Campbell's unique skills once fully healthy. The Eagles aim to have Campbell or Nakobe Dean as a starter in 2025, with Campbell's return to drills indicating he might be closer to playing.
