Daily News | Predicting the Eagles’ 53-man roster
The Eagles released Jordan Howard, Sua Opeta, and Hassan Ridgeway before the 53-man roster deadline last year. Each player would eventually return and each would occupy reserve roles and play meaningful downs.
Those were just some of the more notable moves among the many general manager Howie Roseman implemented over a two-month span. But they’re mentioned here to emphasize that there isn’t anything final aboutThe Eagles still have Saturday’s preseason finale at the Dolphins to evaluate players on the bubble. But their roster is deeper, and there aren’t as many spots up for grabs as there were a year ago.
Togiai could hold a spot until Jackson is healthy, but the former quarterback didn’t show enough last season to be guaranteed anything. Wilson might have squeezed on a year ago, but defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon has more fitting pieces for his scheme up front. If he is to stick it will likely be at the expense of a linebacker.Defensive ends/outside linebackers : Josh Sweat, Haason Reddick, Brandon Graham, Derek Barnett, Tarron Jackson, Patrick Johnson, Kyron JohnsonReddick provides a significant upgrade at strong-side linebacker, but he got paid the big bucks for his edge rushing.
Late-summer injuries to Jobe and Scott could complicate matters. Jobe, an undrafted rookie, has looked the best of the outside cornerbacks vying for a last spot. Scott would be a surprise cut. The slot cornerback has added safety to his resume, but with Chachere recently swinging to slot, one could cancel out the other.
