Eagles RB Donnel Pumphrey could see time in the slot

It appears the Eagles are willing to give RB Donnel Pumphrey an opportunity as he has been getting reps with the first- and second-team offenses so far in training camp. Although he likely won’t carry the ball a ton this season, it does seem the Eagles are preparing to make him a part of the passing game.

“I expect to move to the slot a little bit more. At least that is what the coaches are telling me,” Pumphrey said. “They want me to do a lot more crossing routes with me and different stuff. Just looking forward to it.”
