Today, yours truly is at Philadelphia Eagles training camp as a member of the media. I’ve been to camp numerous times before, but this is my first experience with media credentials.
Therefore, I went to this morning’s walk-through practice not knowing exactly what to expect. What I found (so far) is that everyone seems nice, helpful and informative.

If an NFL player is going to throw at any point during their football career, the best time is during training camp, rather than a crucial game.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson had trouble holding his lunch down during Friday’s practice.
“We ran a lot. The heat,” Jackson said. “Gave it up a little bit, but it’s part of training camp.”

The Eagles are committed to lightening the workload running back LeSean McCoy takes on this season. To do that, offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and coach Andy Reid must identify a steady backup who they can trust on all downs. They'll also have to convince McCoy to accept a breather from time to time. "With our running back position, I think that (general manager...

The Raiders are looking for complementary running backs to emerge in training camp and the preseason as they try to fill the void left by Michael Bushs departure in free agency.

Castillo aims for better results in second season
Juan Castillo may have been the happiest person on the field when the Philadelphia Eagles held their offseason workouts.
Castillo's transition to defensive coordinator after 13 years coaching the offense linemen didn't go so well last season. Castillo seemed overmatched at times. He had trouble making adjustments during games, his unit underachieved and he was heavily criticized...
