Howie Roseman addresses Philadelphia Eagles roster decisions after final cuts

Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman provided insight into the team's initial 53-man roster following the league-wide deadline. The team retained four quarterbacks, including Jalen Hurts, Andy Dalton, Tanner McKee, and Cole Payton, though the backup role remains officially undecided. Wide receiver Elijah Moore secured a spot after a consistent offseason performance, joining a group that includes DeVonta Smith, Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Darius Cooper. Roseman noted that interior offensive line depth improved significantly due to the contributions of Drew Kendall, Willie Lampkin, and Micah Morris. Despite exploring potential trades over the summer, the roster reflects the current internal competition levels. Additionally, rookies Eli Stowers and Makai Lemon earned roster spots, while international projects Uar Bernard and Joshua Weru were signed to the practice squad after clearing waivers.
