PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles returned to the field on Thursday for the team’s first training camp practice at NovaCare Complex. The media was allowed to watch practice in its entirety.
Here are five takeaways and some quick observations from the first training camp practice:
1. Miles Sanders struts his stuff
Rookie running back Miles Sanders missed all of the offseason program workouts with a hamstring injury. On Day 1 of training camp, the second-round pick was good to go.
During the first set of 11-on-11 drills, the Penn State alum showed off his elusiveness, as he cut and pivoted his way through multiple defenders. While it was a limited contact drill, Sanders seemingly weaved his way through the defense with ease, breaking free from the group for a large gain.
Sanders fell a bit behind in the reps department because of his prolonged absence during the offseason program, but it’s clear he has the tools to make the most of his opportunities this summer. He looked notably quick.
