The Philadelphia Eagles finalized their 53-man roster and 17-player practice squad, prioritizing development across the line of scrimmage and quarterback positions. The club retained 10 offensive linemen on the active roster, including rookies Markel Bell and Micah Morris, with three additional linemen placed on the practice squad. Philadelphia opted to keep four quarterbacks, including Jalen Hurts, Andy Dalton, Tanner McKee, and rookie Cole Payton, to ensure development. Defensively, the team kept five outside linebackers on the active roster and added three more to the practice squad to bolster the pass rush. The organization also maintained depth at running back, housing six players across the two units behind Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley. This strategy aims to provide immediate insurance throughout the 17-game season while managing longer-term personnel investments.
