Jihaad Campbell: Everything you need to know

Campbell (shoulder) may not participate in OTAs but will be ready for training camp, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio made it clear that the linebacker would be ready for training camp and left the door open for Campbell to even log some reps in the latter portion of OTAs. The 2025 first-round pick is set to step into a starting role next to Zack Baun in 2026. The departure of Nakobe Dean in free agency means Campbell will take on an expanded role in the Eagles' defense.

Campbell finished his rookie season with 80 tackles, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. The 31st-overall pick immediately stepped into a key role for the defending champions, finishing sixth on the team in defensive snaps and fourth in tackles. While fellow inside linebacker Zack Baun recorded 3.5 sacks, however, Campbell is still searching for his first sack as a professional.

Campbell (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Campbell was limited Wednesday but appears to be ready for Sunday's regular-season finale versus Washington. The rookier linebacker has compiled 70 tackles (38 solo), two pass breakups, including one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 16 appearances this season.
