Tragedy Before the Season: Eagles’ Injury List Keeps “Multiplying” in Training Camp
Philadelphia, PA – August 2025
Training camp is supposed to be the birthplace of hope. The sound of pads colliding, the sight of rookies chasing dreams under the summer sun, the belief that every name in midnight green carries a piece of Philadelphia’s soul.
But this summer, hope has been fractured. And with each passing day, the Eagles’ injury list keeps multiplying.
Star wideout A.J. Brown is sidelined with a hamstring strain. Guard Landon Dickerson is nursing a knee issue. Anchor left tackle Jordan Mailata remains in concussion protocol. Even young quarterback Tanner McKee, once a preseason bright spot, is shelved with a finger injury.
The setbacks sting even deeper for the newcomers. Rookie wide receiver Johnny Wilson was carted off after a painful fall. First-year safety Andrew Mukuba, eager to prove his worth, was added to the list with a hamstring pull. Every new name feels like another weight dragging this team into uncertainty.
And yet, inside the locker room, the voice of a legend still echoes. Jason Kelce, long retired but forever the heartbeat of the Eagles, offered perspective with the gravity only he carries:
“This is Philadelphia. Here, every setback is just a test of how you rise. We’ve lost more before, but what we’ve never lost is our fight. That’s what wearing midnight green means—it means you stand back up when the city needs you most.”
As camp draws to a close, the Eagles face more than schemes and playbooks. They face the storm of attrition, of healing bodies and wounded pride. Yet, for all the bruises and broken plans, one truth remains: in Philadelphia, football is not just a game. It is identity.
The injury list may be growing, but the heartbeat of this city—the will to fight—beats louder still.
