The Philadelphia Eagles finalized their roster following the league-wide cutdown day ahead of the 2026 season opener against the Washington Commanders. The team identified five position groups as primary contributors to their depth: the offensive line, defensive tackles, cornerbacks, running backs, and linebackers. The starting offensive line features Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, Tyler Steen, and Lane Johnson. Defensive tackle Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis anchor the interior defensive line rotation. Saquon Barkley leads a running back group supported by Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley.
