No Alshon Jeffery here, I address his status later in this post. The Eagles are hoping Wentz can pick up where he left off in terms of playing great down the stretch last season. The Eagles traded for Darius Slay and drafted Jalen Reagor this offseason, which gives them … In a normal offseason, I’d project Hurts as the No. Taylor has intriguing upside but he’s raw and it’s unclear how much he’ll be able to play on defense as a rookie. And it’s wayyyy too early to be doing this. It’s unclear where the Eagles will have Reagor lining up but the 2020 first-round pick needs to be on the field. Avery has been quiet, but could benefit from having been acquired at the 2019 trade deadline for a fourth-round pick. I think maybe there’s a chance the Eagles still try to trade Douglas for a late-round conditional pick but with how decimated the Eagles have been at corner over the last few years, it’s probably worth keeping Douglas around. And a player elevated from the practice squad to the 55-man roster could be sent back to the practice squad two times without having to clear waivers. Holyfield is solidly built and he has caught the ball well enough, but doesn't have any one trait that has stood out. The coaching staff loves Gerry and that much is reflected how he projects to be the top linebacker. Clement has looked good early in camp, running hard and making catches out of the backfield. Please check your email for a confirmation. Philadelphia Eagles training camp has already (kinda-sorta) begun, and on-field, full-team practices will kick off this week.
1. Tight end (3): Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert, Josh Perkins. Jackson returns after missing most of the 2019 season. Running back (4): Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Corey Clement, Elijah Holyfield. 2019 fourth-round pick Shareef Miller and 2019 training camp standout Joe Ostman are on the bubble.
PhillyVoice Staff. DT: Fletcher Cox, Javon Hargrave, Malik Jackson, Hassan Ridgeway (4) [35].
Hargrave and Jackson have the potential to give the Eagles more interior pass rush juice.
Even if he is, he could start out the season on PUP as he recovers from a Lisfranc injury suffered in December. Strap could push for the starting nickel job and at least be the backup there. S (4): Rodney McLeod, Jalen Mills, Will Parks, K’Von Wallace. (In addition to the written text below, Brandon Gowton and I recorded a podcast to analyze what we each believe the 53-man roster will look like (his is here). Once the Eagles picked Hurts in the second round, this became pretty easy. Now it’s time for a prediction of who will actually make the final cut down to 53 players.
Running back (4): Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Corey Clement, Elijah Holyfield. There are some notable strengths on the roster, but there are also plenty of weaknesses. The six guys noted above are all locks. A Western Pennsylvania native, DiNucci... Travis Fulgham has officially arrived and the guy who is now the candidate for breakout player of the year is also one of the league's most popular players. Welcome to Eagles Wire's European Union Experience. Herbig's spot is tenuous, however, because the Eagles had a draftable grade on Juriga, and gave him a big bonus to sign as a UDFA. I just don't see much in the way of year-to-year improvement from Mailata, and now he has a pair of rookie offensive tackles to contend with in Driscoll and Wanogho. Good mix of outside corners and nickel corners here.
2 with Sudfeld and Kyle Lauletta battling it out for the No. So now we can start to see the 2020 Eagles take shape.
Mailata or Driscoll could be the top backup right tackle.
[...] The game-day active roster will increase from 46 to 48 players (although one of the extra players must be an offensive lineman, which will give teams more flexibility to have three extra linemen). The fact that he fell much further than expected in this year’s draft leads me to believe his status might not be a total non-issue.
The difficult choice here is whether Douglas makes the team or not.

Points Against: 175 (29.2/g) 23rd of 32. We'll project Holyfield for now, but the feeling here is that Howie Roseman will continue to look outside the organization for more running back depth. The new CBA says teams are allowed to call up two practice squad players to their active roster every week, giving them a 55-man roster. He took a pay cut earlier this offseason to keep from getting cut, so that'll help. I was torn on whether or not to call this a 53-man roster or a 55-man roster.
