Training camp for the Philadelphia Eagles is on the horizon.

The position battles are set to commence, and the biggest ones will determine how this 53-man roster will take shape. Looking at the 90-man roster and the projected 10 spots available by how the 53-man roster will take shape, the battles will be worth monitoring all summer.

How does the depth chart shape up heading into training camp? Who's the early leader in the clubhouse for these jobs?

Here's an early look at the Eagles depth chart. Once training camp starts, we'll review what changed from minicamp.

Quarterback

1st Team	2nd Team	3rd Team
Jalen Hurts	Andy Dalton	Tanner McKee	Cole Payton

The battle for this job is clear, who the QB2 is going to be. Dalton is the front runner for the job after getting the majority of the QB2 reps during the open practices to the media in minicamp.

McKee could be traded this summer, which wis why we listed Dalton on the second team. As long as McKee is here, there will be a battle for the job. Payton also needs to show imporivement over what he demonstrated this spring.

Running back

1st Team	2nd Team	3rd Team
Saquon Barkley	Tank Bigsby	Will Shipley	Dameon Pierce	Elijah Mitchell	Carson Steele

Shipley is the front runner for the No. 3 running back job, having a strong minicamp and separating himself from Pierce in that battle. Pierce can return kicks, like Shipley.

Mitchell will be an under-the-radar player to watch in camp.

Wide receiver

1st Team	2nd Team	3rd Team
DeVonta Smith	Hollywood Brown	Johnny Wilson	Samori Toure
Dontayvion Wicks	Darius Cooper	Elijah Moore	Erik Ezukamna
Makai Lemon	Britain Covey	Danny Gray	Quez Watkins

This position has taken a hit with the loss of A.J. Brown, creating a battle for WR2 this summer.

Wicks is the front runner for the job after Lemon missed the end of spring practice with a hamstring injury. Lemon said he's 100% last week and will be ready for the start of camp. Brown had a good spring and played his way into the competition.

Wilson, Cooper, Moore, and Covey are battling for the No. 5 wide reciever spot. The Eagles may keep six wideouts, pending on how things play out.

Tight end

1st Team	2nd Team	3rd Team
Dallas Goedert	Johnny Mundt	Eli Stowers	Grant Calcaterra
	Stone Smartt	E.J. Jenkins	Dae'Quan Wright

The battle for TE2 is one of the underrated ones at camp. Can Stowers recover from a poor spring? The Eagles are betting on that to be the case.

The tight ends are Goedert, Stowers,a nd Mundt. Will any of the rest of the players convince the Eagles to add a No. 4 tight end to thr 53? Another thing to watch for.

Offensive line

	1st Team	2nd Team	3rd Team
LT	Jordan Mailata	Markel Bell	Hollin Pierce
LG	Landon Dickerson	Michael Jordan	Myles Hinton	Willie Lampkin
C	Cam Jurgens	Drew Kendall	Jake Majors	Willie Lampkin
RG	Tyler Steen	Micah Morris	Jaeden Roberts
RT	Lane Johnson	Fred Johnson	John Okukwu	Cameron Williams

The offensive line will likely change every day with the way the No. 3 guard battle will play out. Is Michael Jordan the front runner? Can Micah Morris steal the No. 3 guard job? What about Drew Kendall?

Then the No. 3 tackle battle will be intriguing between Fred Johnsona nd Markel bell. What if Bell beats out Johnson?

Behind the starters, there are a lot of questions with the second team on the offensive line.

Pass rusher

1st Team	2nd Team	3rd Team
Jalyx Hunt	Nolan Smith	AJ Epenesa	Joshua Weru
Jonathan Greenard	Arnold Ebiketie	Keyshawn James-Newby	Jose Ramirez

This position is largely set in stone with the top five, and really will be set if Brandon Graham returns. The Eagles don't even need Graham at this point with how deep this position is.

Hunt and Smith will rotate first team reps, but Hunt should be the starter.

Defensive tackle

1st Team	2nd Team	3rd Team
Jalen Carter	Moro Ojomo	Ty Robinson	Uar Bernard	Zion Wilson
Jordan Davis	Byron Young	Gabe Hall	Tae'Quon Graham

The deepest position on the roster, the battle for defensiev tackle is for the No. 4 spot. Young is the front runner for the job, and Robinson is his biggest competitor as a fourth-round pick from last season.

Keep an eye on Zion Wilson this summer. He could make some noise.

Off-ball linebacker

1st Team	2nd Team	3rd Team
Zack Baun	Jeremiah Trotter Jr.	Chance Campbell
Jihaad Campbell	Smael Mondon	Deontae Lawson

Another position that's pretty set as well, as the top three (Baun, Campbell, and Trotter) are starters in this league. Mondon is also a player that developed last year, and has earned first team looks in the past.

Chandler Martin was brought in for a visit this week. The Eagles are checking in to see if he's recovered from an ACL injury suffered last year.

Cornerback

	1st Team	2nd Team	3rd Team
CB	Quinyon Mitchell	Kelee Ringo	Jakorian Bennett	Tariq Castro-Fields
CB	Tariq Woolen	Jonathan Jones	Mac McWilliams	Ambry Thomas
Slot	Cooper DeJean	Jonathan Jones	Michael Carter	Kapena Gushiken

The starters on this team are set, and Jones is the top backup on the outside and in the slot. Who's behind the top four is the battle worth watching.

Bennett may have fallen out of favor in the scheme, but there still is a chance he could make the team. Ringo has a strong shot because of special teams. Will the Eagles keep five or six cornerbacks?

Safety

1st Team	2nd Team	3rd Team
Andrew Mukuba	J.T. Gray	Andre Sam	Maximus Pulley
Marcus Epps	Michael Carter	Cole Wisniewski	Shawn Wade

This position is as wide open as can be. Epps is competing for the starting safety job with every one else on the depth chart. Two undrafted free agents could make the 53.

The Eagles could look to acquire a safety here. They spend the least amount of money in the nFL at the position.
