Philadelphia is changing the shape of its offense under Sean Mannion. Jalen Hurts is receiving more under center work, a shift designed to strengthen play action and make the Eagles less predictable before the snap.

The transition requires patience. Hurts must connect the footwork of the run game to the timing of deeper routes, and the offense is doing that without A.J. Brown after his departure. New targets must earn trust in high leverage situations.

On defense, A.J. Epenesa says he is healthy and is learning a broader linebacker role. His ability to move around the front could help Philadelphia disguise pressure and keep offensive lines from setting their protection too early.

The Eagles should judge camp by how well the new details connect. If Hurts becomes comfortable operating under center and Epenesa handles multiple assignments without slowing down, Philadelphia will add flexibility on both sides of the ball.

What to watch next

The next checkpoint is consistency. Jalen Hurts is learning more under center concepts while A.J. Epenesa adjusts to a healthy and expanded defensive role. Coaches will want that theme to hold up through situational periods and preseason snaps. Depth chart movement should follow players who repeat the details under pressure, communicate cleanly and stay available, not one isolated highlight.
