OTAs are in the books for the Philadelphia Eagles, and the team did some good things over the last three weeks, but there were plenty of struggles as well.
The Eagles' offense was the focus for all reporters as they got off to a rocky start at OTAs as they make the transition to new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's scheme. It was mostly the quarterbacks who were highlighted as the position that struggled the most, but everywhere on offense was not clean.
There are arguably five players who saw their stocks drop down after the three weeks of work at OTAs. Here is a look at who made the list.
Eli Stowers, TE
Honestly, no one really knows what happened with Stowers at OTAs, as he was physically there, but he didn't do anything memorable. Eagles fans can chalk it up to the fact that he is a rookie and still learning, but a highlight play or two would have been nice. Stowers will have to make it up at training camp and prove that he can be the future tight end to replace Dallas Goedert.
Andy Dalton, QB
The final week of OTAs was not good for the quarterbacks, but Dalton struggled as he is trying to win the backup job over Tanner McKee. It was a combination of near turnovers and mistakes that made it worse for the veteran quarterback. He should still make the roster, but he needs to play better if he wants to back up Jalen Hurts in 2026.
Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, EDGE
It's hard for a player's stock to not be affected when they weren't even there. A.J. Epenesa's signing certainly had an impact on Tryon-Shoyinka's future with the Eagles after having just signed there in the offseason. It does not look good for Tryon-Shoyinka as he might be an early candidate to get cut right away.
Grant Calcaterra, TE
Calcaterra was dealing with injury, so he did not get to practice with E.J. Jenkins getting first team reps. Going into OTAs it felt like Calcaterra was on the hot seat to make the 53-man roster with Stowers there and Goedert looking like the starter. It feels as though he could be out in Philly if training camp does not go well for him.

Jalen Hurts, QB
Yes, he's going through a new offense and still learning, so that is understood. He did not play well, though, the last week of OTAs, and no one can deny it. While this isn't the end of the world for Hurts and the belief that he's the franchise quarterback, there's no way anyone can say that his stock was not affected by the way he practiced at OTAs.
