Week 2 of Philadelphia Eagles training camp is in the books, and with the pads on, there was a clearer look at who is making the team and who might be in trouble.
The Eagles' offense finally looks to be putting together a string of nice practices. Their defense is still practicing at an elite level, with new faces proving themselves.
It felt more like this week was a better list of winners than losers coming out of training camp. Who were the clear winners, and who is falling down the depth charts or on the verge of being cut?
Winners and losers from Eagles' second week of training camp
Winner: Darius Cooper, WR
Almost every day, Cooper makes a highlight play that gets Eagles reporters going wild over him. He has already earned the trust of Jalen Hurts, which is putting Cooper in the driver's seat to make the 53-man roster. There might even be a path where Cooper could end up being a starter on this team if he plays his cards right.
Loser: Hollywood Brown, WR
There have been instances of Hurts overthrowing Brown on routes, but it's the lack of big plays that now has some wondering if he is an automatic lock for the roster anymore. Cooper and Dontayvion Wicks are having better training camps than Brown is. Most likely, Brown still makes the team, but it is still worrisome that so many others are outperforming him.
Winner: Markel Bell, OT
The rookie third-round pick had a good week of practice and is outperforming the two higher picks before him. Bell filled in for Lane Johnson while he was gone and seems to be holding his own at right tackle. After Johnson's retirement announcement, there will now be even more eyes on Bell and whether he can step up.
Loser: Jakorian Bennett, CB
Bennett is on this list simply because there isn't any buzz around him. He seems to be in the same conversation as Kelee Ringo was last week: a lack of plays means they could be on the outs soon. It would have to take a strong preseason from Bennett to stay on the team past August.
Winner: Ty Robinson, DT
Finally, Eagles fans are starting to see Robinson pop loose at training camp and prove his worth. He was seen rotating in with the starters, which is always a good sign for the young defensive tackle. With questions about the future of Moro Ojomo, a breakout performance from Robinson could give him a starting spot after 2026.

Winner: Jeremiah Trotter Jr., LB
The breakout talks with Trotter continued into Week 2 of training camp, as he still looks good. He keeps getting better and better, and with Jihaad Campbell banged up, Trotter got more reps with the first team and played well. Watch for Trotter to keep growing into securing a rotational role with the starters in the preseason.
