The Philadelphia Eagles began their mandatory minicamp today, marking their first such event since 2019. A significant development is the team's decision to have cornerback James Bradberry practice at the safety position. Head Coach Nick Sirianni emphasized Bradberry's versatility, noting that he has been practicing both inside and at safety. Sirianni stated, 'I’m excited about that for James, that he’s able to do more.' Bradberry's transition is seen as an interesting experiment, with comparisons drawn to other veteran corners who have successfully moved to safety later in their careers, such as Patrick Peterson. However, during individual drills, Bradberry fell and subsequently walked to the medical tent with a trainer, raising concerns about a potential injury. Despite this, he returned to the sidelines but did not participate in team drills. Additionally, Kelee Ringo had a standout day, receiving first-team reps opposite Darius Slay and performing well in coverage against players like John Ross and AJ Brown. The only player absent from the minicamp was guard Landon Dickerson, who had an excused absence.

James Bradberry is off to the side without a helmet as the Eagles stretch to begin the second day of minicamp. He had exited yesterday with a trainer early on and did not participate in the remainder of practice.
James Bradberry, who exited yesterday’s practice and watched without a helmet, is off to the side again today to start warmups.

Discussed Day 1 of minicamp in today's show -- the player that jumped out to me was Kelee Ringo. Don't forget Ringo when discussing the future (and present) of the Eagles' secondary. Eagles traded their 2024 3rd-rd pick to land him. He looked like a big development curve was…

James Bradberry will be used more in different positions, including at safety, Nick Sirianni says. “I’m excited about that for James, that he’s able to do more.”
James Bradberry is here and will work with the safeties today per Nick Sirianni. #Eagles
An interesting experiment for the Eagles to get some work in for James Bradberry at safety this offseason. We've seen quite a few veteran corners make the later-career move to safety successfully, including a recent one in Patrick Peterson. https://t.co/fnekbmL1om
Wow — Nick Sirianni says James Bradberry is taking reps at safety Says lots of great corners have gone on to be great safeties Unclear if that’s a permanent move, but it is interesting https://t.co/LNqW5aZUTh

Mandatory minicamp begins today for the Eagles. Some thoughts on what they must accomplish this week - https://t.co/jKSmvckPls
It's mandatory minicamp for the Eagles. They're on the field at 1:30 p.m. Find out what happened on the @PHLY_Eagles show, fresh off the field at 3:30 p.m. To catch up on Monday's show: https://t.co/IyaB4c9DTb
Happy mandatory minicamp Tuesday. Nick Sirianni and assorted #Eagles will be available pre-practice at 12:25ish and practice begins at 1:30. Start your day with a #Birds365 primer on things with @JeffKerrCBS and @kracze
Also, no move on James Bradberry today if you wondered whether the Eagles would do something before mandatory minicamp. So he's a member of the team with the Eagles set to practice on Tuesday afternoon.
The reason the Eagles are holding mandatory minicamp this year may be due to the new coordinators, says @JohnKincade. “I believe Vic Fangio and Kellen Moore came in here and said, ‘Well, we would prefer more time to teach.’ There were new coordinators last year, and we didn’t… https://t.co/S7Ahl2EutU https://t.co/jjVwDM2FkP
The Eagles are set to begin mandatory minicamp tomorrow for the first time during Nick Sirianni’s tenure. Kincade & Salciunas have a question. Is this in response to last year’s collapse? What are your thoughts? https://t.co/VSyDP48qLQ
