The Philadelphia Eagles have been one of the most aggressively run organizations in the NFL, and the 2026 season is no exception. After a frustrating finish to last year that exposed weaknesses on both sides of the ball, the front office responded with one of the most active offseasons in the league, retooling the roster with a clear goal in mind: get back to the Super Bowl.
"I have always played with a chip on my shoulder," Hurts said at the start of training camp. "That does not change. We know what we are capable of, and we know what it takes. The focus is on getting better every single day."
The running game remains a strength, with a physical back who averaged over five yards per carry last season and a change-of-pace option who provides explosiveness in space. The Eagles also use Hurts as a runner in goal-line and short-yardage situations, making their red zone offense one of the most efficient in the league.
Coordinator Vic Fangio has installed a more complex defensive scheme that relies on disguise and post-snap movement, a departure from the straightforward approach the Eagles used last season. The early returns have been positive, with the first-team defense generating consistent pressure and creating turnovers during training camp practices.
The Eagles schedule includes several marquee games, including a Week 1 showdown against a division rival and a prime-time matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs that will be circled on every football fan's calendar. How the Eagles perform in those games will set the tone for the season.
For the Eagles and their passionate fan base, anything short of a deep playoff run will be a disappointment. The window is open. The time is now.
