The Eagles back at it in the light misty rain with Tuesday’s May 30 organized team activities session— here according to the Eagles media release is how the players in attendance were lining up:
The first-team offensive line stayed the same from the previous week, with Lane Johnson at left tackle,Isaac Seumalo
at left guard, Jason Kelce
at center, Brandon Brooks
at right guard, and Halapoulivaati Vaitai
at right tackle. Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith
, who made a fine falling-down catch in an 11-on-11 period, were the starting wide receivers on the outside, with Nelson Agholor in the slot with Jordan Matthews
sidelined with knee tendinitis. Wendell Smallwood
started at running back, with Dillon Gordon
at fullback.
Bryce Treggs saw some time in the slot at receivers, with Agholor – who ran an outstanding stutter-step route to get open against Jalen Mills
for a touchdown – and Dorial Green-Beckham on the outside.
On defense, Brandon Graham, Fletcher Cox
, Destiny Vaeao
and Chris Long
played with the first-team line. Rasul Douglas and Patrick Robinson
played on the outside at cornerback with the first team, while Jalen Mills played inside. Jordan Hicks
and Nigel Bradham
were the nickel linebackers, with, of course, Malcolm Jenkins
and Rodney McLeod
at safety.
