Philadelphia Eagles training camp is right around the corner, which means the summer heat is about to intensify with jobs on the line.

As always, players will be competing for roster spots, playing time and starting positions at camp, and the stakes are high—a place on the bench, perhaps even getting released. Of course, the stakes are high for the Eagles as well, as the fate of the team could rest on who wins these battles.

With that in mind, we attempted to find and rank the five most crucial position battles to watch this summer. The rankings are based on which positions will have the greatest impact on the club's success in 2015.

Fortunately for the Birds, they don't have too many starting jobs or major roles up for grabs. However, one or two in particular could potentially alter the course of the entire season.
