Zack Baun (concussion) back at practice

Not ideal timing as they gear up to try to stop Kyren Williams and Blake Corum on the ground. Baun did not practice all week and his availability for Week 5 is in some question as things stand. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. will likely get extra reps next to Jihaad Campbell, though Campbell is also questionable with a knee injury.

It’s less than ideal news for the Eagles’ every-down ‘backer with the team on a short week against the Rams. Teams seem to be getting players through the protocol faster than ever of late, but the Eagles’ six-day work week has play-making Baun firmly on the wrong side of questionable.

Campbell also underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder back in March 2025. He dealt with a triceps injury in-season last year. Per Eagles DC Vic Fangio, Campbell is doing well and might have a chance to participate in a limited capacity later in organized team activities. Campbell totaled 62 tackles, 14 quarterback pressures, two pass breakups and one interception in his rookie season last year.

Shipley should resume No. 2 running back duties and can be stashed as a high-upside player in re-draft formats. Stud RT Lane Johnson (stinger) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday. The Eagles lost star OLB Nolan Smith (triceps) to injured reserve earlier this week. He will be eligible to return after missing four games. They got good news on LB Zack Baun (knee), LB Jihaad Campbell (triceps) and backup QB Tanner McKee (right thumb), though. All three are good to go. Unfortunately, CB Adoree’ Jackson (groin) is doubtful.

Baun, LB Jihaad Campbell (triceps) and Adoree’ Jackson (groin) all took the day off on Wednesday, which was slightly alarming given the Eagles’ other defensive injuries. Eagles OLB Nolan Smith (triceps) and CB Jakorian Bennett were placed on injured reserve yesterday. Baun, Campbell and Jackson should all be good to go for Week 4, barring setbacks.

Baun missed Wednesday with a knee issue, his first instance of an injury in 2025. Also out on Wednesday were LB Jihaad Campbell (triceps) and Adoree’ Jackson (groin). The Eagles’ front seven has been driven by Baun and Campbell’s contributions and absences in Week 4 would leave the middle of the field open for the Buccaneers. If Jackson misses time, Kelee Ringo is next in line for opportunities.

Second-round safety Andrew Mukuba is the only unsigned draft pick for Philly. Campbell is currently recovering from surgery related to the torn labrum he suffered in his final collegiate season. The versatile defender has been observing the inside linebackers in Philly’s offseason program, giving us some idea of where he will play to start his career. After trading up one spot to land Campbell in the first round, it’s safe to assume the Eagles will ramp up his workload as soon as he is healthy.

Campbell underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder back in March, and he was not expected to participate in the Eagles’ rookie minicamp. His attendance as an observer can be viewed as an overall positive development. Campbell’s grouping with the inside linebackers is noteworthy since he thrived as an inside linebacker and part-time EDGE at Alabama, and The Athletic’s Brooks Kubena notes, Eagles GM Howie Roseman “refused to categorize Campbell as only an off-ball linebacker, instead emphasizing the team’s desire to disrupt the passing game.” The initial inside linebacker grouping suggests this will be his primary role, but it is worth monitoring which group he joins when the two-day minicamp resumes on Saturday, and when mandatory minicamp begins on June 10.

Philly gave the Chiefs the No. 164 pick to move up one spot and get their guy. Campbell (6’3/235) is a two-year starter and early declaree who emerged as a true blue chip prospect with a First Team All-SEC caliber 2024 season. He led the Tide with 117 tackles, 11.5 TFLs, and 5.0 sacks, with a Power Four-leading 65 stops and a spectacular 5.9 percent missed tackle rate. Campbell verified the athleticism he showed on tape with a blinding 4.52s 40-yard dash (96th percentile) and a 99th percentile 10’07” broad jump. A well-rounded performer who can cause havoc on the inside or outside, he earned 76th percentile grades in coverage, run support, tackling, and on the pass rush. When Campbell squares up to a ball carrier and channels his power, they rarely escape his grasp as is evidenced by his 88.2 tackle grade, which ranked fourth in the Power Four last year. He was effective on the edge when deployed there as well, utilizing a long-arm technique paired with a deft dip/rip move to chase quarterbacks off their spot and create disruption. He will sometimes try to slide around blocks in the run game, creating lanes as opposed to holding the point of attack before shedding to make the play. When tackling, he sometimes meets rushers in the hole with a high pad level, giving up leverage and allowing stout runners to get into his chest which gives up his leverage. Campbell is a do-it-all playmaker with the length, speed, and tenacity to be a core player for the Eagles.

That doesn’t mean Campbell won’t be ready for the start of the season, but it does mean he might have a slow training camp and a tougher time making an instant impact. Campbell has been widely considered a candidate to go in the back half of the first round. It’s possible this shoulder injury slides him into Day 2, but Breer notably doesn’t go as far as to say that.
