A pair of veteran players have returned to Eagles camp after missing crucial time with injury, and now have their work cut out for them to make the roster.
PHILADELPHIA – It’s going to be a race to the finish line, where a spot on the Eagles 53-man roster waits.
Burks can be grateful that he is still on the 91-man roster. The Eagles have made some moves with others this summer, cutting some to bring in others. Burks could have easily been waived with an injury designation. That is potentially a good sign for the former 2018 third-round pick of the Green Bay Packers out of Vanderbilt because it might mean the Eagles still believe he can help this year.
“ was just an ongoing thing,” he said. “It wasn’t ready to go by the time we came for camp. I’m just getting back to myself now. I’m feeling really good, explosive, fast, everything I need to play football.”As for possibly playing Saturday, he said, “I’m taking it one day at a time, but hopefully that’ll be an opportunity.”
“I think the sense of urgency is always there whenever you’re out there, if you’re out for a little bit or in the mix of things,” he said. “It goes to making the most of every opportunity. Now that I am back, it’s just about doing the right things, showing that I’m good, things like that. I just think t’s all about of making the most of every opportunity.”
