Eagles' Marcus Epps may have secured starting safety role

During the Eagles' preseason game against the Ravens on August 15, veteran safety Marcus Epps sat out while other starters played. This decision suggests that Epps is favored for the starting safety position over Michael Carter II, who performed well but continued to play into the second quarter. Epps had 21 tackles last season and is expected to replace Reed Blankenship, who left for the Texans. The position battle remains pending until the season opener against the Washington Commanders.
