On Tuesday, rookies and veterans reported for training camp ahead of Wednesday's first practice.

But what should we expect in year three under Nick Sirianni? 

Jalen Hurts was dominant last year and the Eagles rewarded him with a five-year, $255 million extension.

Now, he has the tough task of staying one step ahead of opposing defenses and maintaining his status as an MVP candidate.

There's been a coaching staff shake-up.

Brian Johnson is the new offensive coordinator. He was Hurts' quarterback coach and has been a close friend for years.

"Me being in this position will allow us to go deeper in our relationship," Johnson said. 

Sean Desai takes over the defense from Jonathan Gannon. He comes from the Seattle Seahawks and previously coached at Temple.

"I have to make sure I'm on my game and it's an every minute, every day type of thing," Desai said. 

Desai will have to coach some hungry Bulldogs – the Eagles drafted five players from Georgia's National Championship teams the last two years.

First-round pick Jalen Carter needs a big season to fill Javon Hargrave's shoes after an 11-sack season.

 And could this be the last year for a few legends?

Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox are both on one year deals.

Jason Kelce has flirted with retirement in the past. Will this be it for these vets?

While some players are old favorites, there are lots of new additions.

Philly native D'andre Swift came over in a trade from the Detroit Lions. The St. Joe's prep product is looking to stay healthy to show off his speed in an offense full of playmakers.

Will this mix of Bulldogs and hungry dogs run faster than the rest once again?
