Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Tuesday that Campbell (shoulder) won't practice until "sometime in August," Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Campbell underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder back in March. That timeline would have the 31st overall pick in the 2025 Draft ready to return during training camp and compete for snaps at linebacker.

Campbell (shoulder) isn't taking part in rookie minicamp Friday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com reports.
Campbell is still recovering from a torn labrum that he had surgically repaired in March. The Eagles have more than enough talent on defense to bring the rookie first-round pick along slowly, though Campbell's expected to recover from his injury in time for training camp.

Eagles' Jihaad Campbell: Picked by Eagles 31st overall
Rotowire
The Eagles selected Campbell (shoulder) in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 31st overall.
The Eagles tend to do a consistently good job with their premium draft picks, and Campbell was often projected to go earlier than this. Despite a distinguished career at Alabama, where he started two seasons and really broke out as a star defender in 2024, Campbell faced some concerns that he lacks a clear position. Like Jalon Walker (selected 15th overall by Atlanta), there's reason to think Campbell is a tweener in the positive sense (good at more that one position) rather than the negative meaning (good at neither and slightly misfit for both). For Campbell to log 117 tackles (11.5 for loss) in 2024 and then run a 4.52-second 40-yard dash gives him a strong profile from a production and athleticism standpoint, so the Eagles will probably find something useful for him to do even if they're not completely sure what in the meantime. Campbell underwent surgery to repair a torn shoulder labrum in March, but the most recent reporting indicated he's expected to be ready for training camp.
