The Eagles are taking it easy this summer, avoiding a mandatory minicamp, and reducing their OTA period from 10 sessions to six light 7-on-7 scenarios.
For Philadelphia, the goal is perfecting the schemes and systems, while staying healthy enough to challenge the Dallas Cowboys for NFC East supremacy.
On Friday while honoring the survivors and victims of gun violence, the Eagles got in some good work during session three of the OTA period, and Jalen Hurts was the winner of the day, flashing a big-time arm, with some timely deliveries.
Here are a few highlights and notes from the afternoon.

After Philadelphia’s OTA session Brown addressed the media and had high praise for his running mate at wide receiver.
Asked about DeVonta Smith, Brown called the 2021 first-round pick a true No. 1 receiver who should dominate the other team’s No. 2 cornerback in 2022.

Smith was dominant on the day and Philadelphia could easily have three, 1,000-yard pass catchers in 2022.

It’s only practice but Hurts started the early 7-on-7 session on fire, completing 4-4 of his first attempts and looking sharp on deep throws to DeVonta Smith later down the line.
