Daily News | ‘It’s a business’: Eagles wide receivers brace themselves for the inevitable — roster cutdown day
The Eagles spent the past two weeks traveling across the country to attend joint practices and preseason games in Cleveland and Miami.
Only four spots are certain: Brown, Smith, Pascal, and Watkins. All four receivers did not dress during the preseason finale with coach Nick Sirianni electing to sit a majority of his starters. Beyond that quad, there’s a lot of uncertainty regarding the final depth spots. And over the next 20 hours, the Eagles will be forced to cut more than half of the others.
General manager Howie Roseman had an exemplary offseason that was highlighted by the addition of Brown. The Eagles have surrounded quarterback Jalen Hurts with multiple weapons and a stout offensive line, and they hope to compete for a division title and advance even further in the playoffs. The receivers on the training camp roster have tried their best to stick. Cain was the offensive star in Week 2, but he had multiple drops in the finale. Allen caught the longest touchdown of the preseason and he has shown ability as a gunner, but he has also had rough moments, including a multitude of drops during individual drills. Covey has flashed and he’s technically sound — both in the return and passing game — but he didn’t create any highlight plays throughout the preseason.
