Philadelphia Eagles gear up for 2026 season with training camp and rookie Lemon's first pitch
The Philadelphia Eagles will begin their 2026 training camp on July 28 at the Jefferson Health Training Complex, focusing on filling the linebacker void left by free‑agent Nakobe Dean. The camp preview highlights the team's intention to look internally for production as it prepares for the upcoming season.
Rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon, the Eagles' 20th overall pick from USC, attended a Philadelphia Phillies game and threw the ceremonial first pitch at Citizens Bank Park. Lemon, a 22‑year‑old who logged 13 touchdowns and 1,156 receiving yards in college, joins a line of Eagles who have participated in the tradition. He will report to preseason play when the Eagles open on August 15 against the Baltimore Ravens.
