Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Jihaad Campbell played his rookie season with a shoulder injury, had another surgery after the season, and is expected back by training camp. This comes hours after John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia spoke with Vic Fangio, who confirmed that Campbell will be out until training camp.
It'll be two straight offseasons in a row where Jihaad Campbell doesn't get in any significant work until training camp.
Campbell was the first off-ball linebacker the Eagles have selected in the first round since Jerry Robinson in 1979. The Erial, New Jersey native was named to the first-team All-SEC in 2024 after leading the Crimson Tide with 117 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, and five sacks.
A procedure on his shoulder prior to the NFL draft forced Campbell to miss the bulk of the off-season, but he hit the ground running at training camp in place of an injured Nakobe Dean.
As a rookie, a versatile player with a bright future, Campbell played in all 17 games and started 10, logging 80 tackles and one interception, along with a fumble recovery and one forced fumble. Campbell's 76.2 grade from Pro Football Focus was the 13th-best among 88 NFL linebackers, and his presence is the main reason the Eagles can feel comfortable allowing Nakobe Dean to depart in free agency.
