Fangio has given Brown, Mukuba and McCollum looks with the first team, but Brown will get the first crack at the job. When the Eagles go to a base defense, DeJean has been sliding from slot cornerback to safety to keep him on the field -- so that presents a wrinkle into the competition as well.

There's also a long way to go in the outside cornerback competition. Kelee Ringo, the Eagles' fourth-round pick in 2023, is the front-runner over veteran Adoree Jackson. With that status comes plenty of first-team reps against Eagles star receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

The Kansas City Chiefs have seen elite play from their first round draft pick on the offensive line at training camp.

Also, Vic Fangio gives an early assessment of Jihaad Campbell, while the depth chart for the defensive front emerges.
