PHILADELPHIA − The Eagles are back at practice on Aug. 7 for Day 7 of training camp.
\n
So far, the defense has been ahead of the offense, and for good reason considering the defense is in its third season in defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's system. The offense, meanwhile, is learning first-year coordinator Sean Mannion's system.

In addition, the Eagles are dealing with injuries at wide receiver as both DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon have sat out the last two practices with hamstring injuries.

The Delaware News Journal is providing live updates from training camp practice. Follow along here for the latest news, updates and analysis:
\n
Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson returned to practice on Aug. 7 after missing the previous four for a non-injury reason. The absences were excused.
\n
It was simply a glimpse into the mindset of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. But that glimpse could portend into so much more despite an uneven offensive performance through the first week of training camp. On the first play of a recent 7-on-7 drill, Hurts threw a quick pass into the flat to wide receiver Elijah Moore. Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell jumped the route, intercepted the ball, and ran it back for what would have been a touchdown.
\n
A few plays later, Hurts hit Moore on a deep route over the middle. Hurts, who rarely shows emotion, ran down the field to celebrate with Moore.
\n
"I just think that was an example of responding," Hurts said. "That’s what I was so proud of and happy about. Not the throw, but that (Moore) was able to play the next play, show up in the right window at the right time, and rip it in there for a touchdown down the middle of the field."
