Eagles face difficult roster cuts ahead of Week 1 in 2026 preseason

Summary

With the 2026 NFL season approaching, the Philadelphia Eagles must make tough decisions on roster cuts. Competition is intense among the offensive skill positions, particularly at wide receiver, where Johnny Wilson's spot is uncertain after a year off due to injury. Other players, including Grant Calcaterra, also face challenges as the team evaluates its depth chart. Head coach Nick Sirianni and General Manager Howie Roseman are under pressure to finalize the 53-man roster while managing talent and injury concerns. The team’s recent success, including a Super Bowl win in February 2025, adds to the scrutiny of these choices.
