Eagles likely settle on Marquise Brown for fourth receiver spot
Summary

As the start of the season approaches, the Philadelphia Eagles appear to have determined that Marquise Brown is positioned as their fourth receiver. Recent practices and game observations indicate Brown has gained favor, likely due to his NFL experience and performance during training camp. The Eagles have yet to finalize their 53-man roster, but Brown's increased opportunities with the first-team offense and his decision to rest during the last preseason game suggest he is viewed as a secure option. The coaching staff is likely prioritizing proven production amid a crowded receiver depth chart.
