The shortest possible offseason in the NFL has reached its final days.

Five months removed from a Super Bowl victory and a parade down Broad Street, the Eagles’ title defense will begin in earnest on Wednesday with the first practice of training camp.

As has become an annual tradition, here are the five biggest questions entering a summer full of practice sessions:

How will the Eagles’ offense be the same — or different — with Kevin Patullo?

We’ve seen about as wide a range of outcomes from the Eagles’ offensive-coordinator carousel as possible over the last two seasons. Whether Kevin Patullo falls closer to Kellen Moore or Brian Johnson as the Eagles’ primary play-caller won’t become clear until the regular season, but training camp will offer the first extended glimpse at how things may change with him as the driving force behind the offense.

There’s a compelling argument — one that centers on the preferences of Jalen Hurts and the domineering nature of the Eagles’ historic run game with Saquon Barkley — that they shouldn’t change much from last season.

The group demonstrated last season how challenging it is for opposing defenses to counter a triple-threat offense: a multiple rushing attack, an elite offensive line, and a running back who can break free when the line can’t. Still, Hurts’ excellence in Super Bowl LIX against a defense focused on stopping Barkley showed that this offense’s ceiling is even higher than it appeared during most of the regular season.

For that reason, all eyes will be on Patullo and his vision for a talented group that will return all but one starter from last year (more on that later). There’s a strong case for keeping most of Hurts’ preferred concepts intact, but how the former pass-game coordinator plans to stay ahead of defenses, especially after an offseason spent studying Barkley’s breakout year, will be key.

Can Kelee Ringo and Moro Ojomo offset free-agency departures?

With Milton Williams, Darius Slay, and Isaiah Rodgers among the several key contributors from last year’s dominant defense lost to trade or free agency, the Eagles will need to lean on a few young players to fill the void.

Enter Moro Ojomo and Kelee Ringo.

Ojomo, 23, certainly looked ready for a bigger role at the end of last season. The 2023 seventh-round defensive tackle out of Texas had 25 pressures in the team’s final 10 games, according to Pro Football Focus, including three in the Super Bowl and four against the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game two weeks earlier. That efficiency earned him nearly as many snaps as Williams by the end of the postseason, and repeating it in an expanded role would be a significant development for the Eagles’ interior line.

Ringo hasn’t generated the same upward momentum as his draft classmate, but his flashes in limited action last year suggest he could be ready for a larger role. Still, he’ll have to beat veteran free-agent signing Adoree’ Jackson for the outside cornerback spot opposite Quinyon Mitchell in the team’s secondary. Even then, the 2023 fourth-round pick may be behind Cooper DeJean in the limited snaps the Eagles line up without a nickel cornerback.

Neither is a sure thing, but Ringo and Ojomo are the types of mid-to-late-round draft picks the Eagles need to rely on to help balance the top-heavy roster general manager Howie Roseman has put together.

Can Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith build on their promising second seasons?

The handful of starting spots up for grabs on the Eagles’ defense should not completely overshadow one simple truth: This year’s group often will go as its best players do.

And Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith have the chance to serve as driving forces.

Carter’s second season drew as much attention from fans as it did from opposing coaches who regularly sent two or three blockers his way. His 75 total pressures were second among all defensive tackles last year, according to PFF. In each of Carter’s two training camps to date, he’s wrecked a practice or two to reaffirm his ability to take over a game for long stretches. Expect that to be the case this year, as well.

Smith is less of a sure bet, but the 24-year-old’s 19 postseason pressures, which were second only to Carter, showed he made the leap needed to play a major role in the Eagles’ edge-rusher rotation this season. Whether he and second-year edge rusher Jalyx Hunt can maintain the level they showed late last season could determine the success of the entire group, especially after Brandon Graham’s retirement and Josh Sweat’s departure in free agency.

Who starts at right guard?

For a fourth year running, the Eagles enter training camp with a competition brewing for the spot next to Lane Johnson.

Tyler Steen has been a constant in each of the last two position battles, but he lost out to Cam Jurgens in 2023 and Mekhi Becton last summer. He played 399 offensive snaps last season without many notable hiccups.

This should be Steen’s best chance to earn the job. The Eagles acquired former first-round pick Kenyon Green in the trade that sent C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans, but Green is considered more of a reclamation project than a projected starter. And, for what it’s worth, he played mostly left guard during organized team activities.

Can the free-agency fliers and rookie class elevate the roster again?

The weighty collection of talent atop the Eagles’ roster over the last several years often has determined the ceiling of those groups. Still, the floor has usually had much more to do with the role players on prove-it deals and rookie contracts.

The likes of Zack Baun, Becton, Mitchell, and DeJean helped vault the Eagles to a championship, so it’s hardly surprising that the Eagles have tried finding value around the fringes in a similar way this offseason.

Players like Azeez Ojulari, Josh Uche, Jackson, Jihaad Campbell, and Andrew Mukuba will be important to monitor in their first summers with the team. Roseman clearly targeted a collection of upside players in free agency and the draft. Now we will find out if he’s made the right bets.
