Curtis Samuel

Training camp Day 12: Ron Rivera said yesterday that the team would “chill” Curtis Samuel out “a little bit” after two straight practices, and sure enough, he’s not practicing today. pic.twitter.com/gFsCG3PTs7

As soon as Terry made this catch, one of the fans watching said “worth every penny.” I would agree pic.twitter.com/u8bOOWxBAX

Brian Robinson

Big hole on the right for Brian Robinson to slip through during 11-on-11. Nice block by Cosmi on WBK to create the running room
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 9, 2022

Jaret Patterson

Jaret Patterson just thumped Steven Parker after a solid gain to finish the play. It’s the second time he’s gotten to the second level

Carson Wentz —-> Dax Milne

Dax Milne just made a really nice leaping grab during 7-on-7. The former 7th rounder continues to impress me
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 9, 2022

Carson Went just finished his 7-on-7 reps going 6/6. Saw some really nice passes to Dax and an impressive sideline connection to Terry. I know it’s just 7-on-7, but FWIW, that was the most impressed I’ve been with the passing game all camp
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 9, 2022

Carson Wentz during two minute drills: 4/6, fumble (recovered by Wentz). Drive ended with a really nice TD to…Dax Milne
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 9, 2022

Carson Wentz —-> Terry McLaurin

It was only 7 on 7, but Carson Wentz just had three beauties, each better than the one before. Capped it with a sizzler to Terry McLaurin on the far sideline that McLaurin fingertip-snagged
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) August 9, 2022

Carson Wentz —-> Armani Rogers & Kyric McGowan

Armani Rogers was wiiidddee open down the middle of the field and brought in the catch. Really starting to like what I’m seeing from the TE
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 9, 2022

Carson Wentz on target today. Great sideline throw to McLaurin. Then perfect deep shot to Kyric McGowan in 7s.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) August 9, 2022

Carson Wentz had a really nice 7-on-7 period just now. Armani Rogers on the seam up the middle and a great deep sideline throw to Kyric McGowan for the completion.

Punt returners

Punt return update. Three players catching kicks today: Erickson, McGowan, Milne
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 9, 2022

Montez Sweat

Montez Sweat continues to have a really strong camp. On a fourth and 10, he forced the strip on Wentz. Feels like he gets back there consistently
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 9, 2022

Jeremy Reaves INT

Percy Butler went unblocked off the edge, forcing Heinicke to speed his throw that landed right in Jeremy Reaves’ arm for the INT. That’s the first pick for the defense in a few days
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 9, 2022

Jahan Dotson

Jahan Dotson doesn’t create a lot of separation, but man that dude can catch the ball. Hauled one in deep down the sideline, crowd here with a big reaction
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 9, 2022

Armani Rogers again

Armani Rogers grabbed a TD during goal line drills. Another impressive grab for the TE trying to earn a spot
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 9, 2022

Carson Wentz runs it in

Carson Wentz rolls out and gets into the end zone. Hodges had a really nice block on Fuller to clear the way
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 9, 2022

Sam Howell —-> Kelvin Harmon

Practice ends with Sam Howell hitting Kelvin Harmon on a pump-and-go touchdown. One of Howell’s better throws from camp, executed that sequence flawlessly
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) August 9, 2022

Taylor Heinicke seemed to tweak his leg during his final 11-on-11. Sam Howell finished the drive. Doesn't seem like a big deal.

Howell then ran his own drive. Capped with a TD strike to Kelvin Harmon.

Notes

In non-firing news, here's my recap of what felt like an encouraging effort from Carson Wentz, as well as a note on Montez Sweat's backhanded compliment for the O-line https://t.co/7gYlTljFyp
