With NFL cutdown day approaching on August 30, the Philadelphia Eagles are finalizing their 53-man roster after preseason Week 2. Players like Willie Lampkin, nicknamed 'a bowling ball with knives' by defensive tackle Jordan Davis, have shown potential to earn spots. Carson Steele's standout performance included a 20-yard touchdown catch in a recent loss to the Patriots.
