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.

- •He did not play in the preseason game against the Patriots.
- •The Eagles’ receiver depth chart looks set with DeVonta Smith leading.
- •Younger receivers had previously overshadowed Brown, but his position seems to be securing.
