PHILADELPHIA – The countdown to Eagles training camp is underway, with the report date set for Tuesday. Head coach Nick Sirianni will kick things off with a press conference at 9:30 a.m. before practice begins at 10 a.m.

As always, there will be storylines as the camp continues through the rest of the month and into August. So between now and then, there will be 10 revealed, one per day, starting with #10 and working up to the top storyline.

Jalen Hurts apparently had no idea about this new role the Eagles coach created for himself during the offseason when the quarterback was asked about it on the final day of minicamp. So, what will that role look like? We’ll find out when camp starts this week.

Sirianni is expected to be all over the practice fields, from offensive and defensive groups to special teams units. That probably won’t be much different than previous seasons, but the difference will be behind the scenes, where fans and media are not allowed to look.

He’s eschewing the undivided attention he gave to the quarterback and the offense last year. He was involved in every aspect of the offense last year, and while the play-calling duties fell to departed offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, Sirianni’s presence was omnipresent.

Part of that could be his relationship with Hurts, especially with some recent reporting from The Athletic’s Dianna Russini who indicated there was a rift between Sirianni and his QB last year, writing, “Nick, we’ve seen, is a very emotional guy. Jalen is a very private guy.

“They’re different people, and that’s fine. You don’t all have to be the same, but you have to be on the same page in terms of what you want to do on offense.”

That relationship needs to be monitored during camp and afterwards.

Sirianni painted it like this:

“I truly believe that it’s critical that I’m in that defensive end room,” he said. “Being able to go into the offensive line room is critical. Being able to go into the defensive room is critical. Being able to step out of all the rooms and have a conversation with a player who needs me at that moment to be their head coach is critical and so you do what you have to do.

“You do what’s best for the team because you love the team, not because you love your selfish reasons for what you want. And I feel really good about that.”

Unlike Hurts, receiver DeVonta Smith thinks Sirianni’s new role will benefit the team.

“It gives him time to do a lot more, to see a lot more, and I think that’s a good thing,” Smith said. “When the boss has the power to put his hands on everything, to see everything, it makes it easier on him, it makes it easier on us, because sometimes he doesn’t see what we see because he’s so focused on one thing, on one thing.”

All the answers to how his role will evolve won’t be clear during training camp, as we’ll have to see what he does on the sidelines once the games begin, perhaps as early as the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Aug. 9 and the two exhibition games that follow — the Patriots on Aug. 15 and the Vikings on Aug. 24.
