The first practice of Eagles training camp began on Thursday afternoon and the injury news is mostly all positive.

Brandon Brooks (Achilles), Fletcher Cox (ankle), Miles Sanders (hamstring), and Ronald Darby (ACL) are all at practice with a helmet, expected to at least somewhat participate.
Almost all positive injury news for #Eagles as camp starts. Brooks, Cox, Sanders and Darby all practicing (to some degree)...Only one missing is Mills. Team is much much healthier than last year.
— Eliot Shorr-Parks (@EliotShorrParks) July 25, 2019The only Eagle missing is Jalen Mills, who continues to recover from a foot injury. Mills will start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Originally it was reported that Darby would also start the season on the PUP list, but that report appears to be incorrect.
Particularly impressive and encouraging is Brooks' participation. The 29-year-old Pro Bowl guard tore his Achilles in the playoff loss to the Saints on January 13th.
