Overview

  • The Eagles opened coordinators to the media on Thursday and used the session to formally introduce Sean Mannion as the new offensive coordinator and to update coaching and roster status before OTAs.
  • Mannion said Jalen Hurts “can do anything we ask of him,” called Hurts a quick, hungry learner, and described their early work together as positive and collaborative.
  • Mannion framed the 2026 offense as a continuing, player‑first “blend” that mixes concepts he believes in with schemes that fit Hurts and the current roster rather than imposing a rigid system.
  • The new OC gave an early endorsement to rookie first‑round receiver Makai Lemon, praising his toughness, catching and after‑the‑catch ability during spring work.
  • Other updates from the coordinators included Vic Fangio saying he is not close to retiring and expects to keep coaching, Jihaad Campbell’s shoulder procedure that may sideline him until training camp, and a reworked guaranteed deal for kicker Jake Elliott with special‑teams coordinator Michael Clay expressing confidence in Elliott.
