Backup quarterback Tanner McKee sailed a pass to Avery Williams in the right corner of the end zone, but he also completed difficult throws to Johnny Wilson and Danny Gray. Cooks contorted his body while in the air, so it was a great catch too. His underrated name to keep an eye on in the wide receiver battle.
Eagles DB Cooper DeJean, the subject of a viral parody about his position, will take reps at safety in training camp.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio spoke with the media on Thursday, and as always, he was honest and forthcoming. The Eagles' defense had a lot of turnover this offseason, and there are plenty of questions to be answered this summer on that side of the ball.

Ringo is a candidate for the starting cornerback job opposite of Quinyon Mitchell, and had the majority of the first-team reps at outside cornerback when the Eagles were in nickel defense (which Philadelphia runs a majority of the time). The first impression wasn't ideal.
"Toward the end of the Eagles’ first training camp practice on Wednesday, cornerback Kelee Ringo expressed his frustration by smacking his hands together.
