Eagles' Jakorian Bennett: Competing for CB2 role
Rotowire
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said after Saturday's training camp practice that Bennett has a chance at competing for the No. 2 cornerback job opposite Quinyon Mitchell, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.
Bennett was the odd-man out in the Raiders' cornerback rotation, which prompted his trade to the Eagles this past Monday in exchange for defensive tackle Thomas Booker. Bennett made his Eagles training camp debut Saturday, and the 2023 fourth-rounder has a shot at earning a spot on the first-team defense after Kelee Ringo and Adoree' Jackson struggled during Philadelphia's 34-27 preseason win over Cincinnati on Thursday. Bennett would certainly make his case with a strong performance in training camp and over the Eagles' final two preseason games, starting with Saturday, Aug. 16 against the Browns.

Eagles' Jakorian Bennett: Traded to Philly
Rotowire
The Eagles acquired Bennett from the Raiders in exchange for DT Thomas Booker on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
A fourth-round pick of the Raiders in 2023, Bennett appeared in 10 regular-season games last season for Las Vegas, making seven starts. He suffered a shoulder injury in Week 11 and missed the remainder of the campaign on injured reserve. With a new coaching staff in town, Bennett was deemed expendable. He'll compete for cornerback snaps behind Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in Philadelphia.
