    Eagles unofficial depth chart shows biggest training camp battle might be over

    The Philadelphia Eagles released their first 2024 unofficial depth chart ahead of their first preseason matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

    And it showed that the biggest battle heading into the start of training camp might be over.

    That battle in question is at cornerback and right now, it appears veteran corner Isaiah Rodgers has won the starting job opposite Darius Slay.

    It makes sense considering Rodgers has been having a near-perfect offseason, according to multiple reporters in attendance.

    Second-year cornerback Kelee Ringo is listed in a split with him for the starting job, though Rodgers is the one who has taken a majority of the first-team reps.

    That then brings us to rookie cornerback and Eagles' 2024 first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell.

    For now, the Eagles have Mitchell listed behind Avonte Maddox, but that doesn't mean he won't start for the Birds. Coaches are known for keeping rookies out of the starting lineup on the depth chart until the very end.

    It's worth mentioning that the depth chart proves that the Eagles are high on the abilities of rookies Johnny Wilson, Anias Smith, and Jeremiah Trotter Jr.

    The rest of this depth chart is pretty straightforward.

    But as far as other camp battles go, Parris Campbell is currently winning the starting WR3 job while the linebacker room appears to have question marks, despite Zach Baun and Devin White leading first-team reps at practice.

    This is just the first of two more unofficial depth charts that we'll see ahead of Week 1 and there's a chance that some surprises could pop up down the road after the Eagles' preseason Game 1 against the Baltimore Ravens on Friday night.

    Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni would not say whether or not the starters will see action in the first preseason matchup.

    "We'll see. I mean you go through these practices, you go through the week, we've had a good few days of practice," Siranni said. "Looking to get our fourth on in here today. We gotta see what it's like after this and how guys are feeling. They don't particularly what we're doing yet. So, they deserve to know before anybody else."

    Fans can tune into the 7:30 PM ET kick-off at M&T Bank Stadium on FOX or NFL+.
