Eagles 2026 Roster Outlook: Locks Tighten as Camp reshapes depth

A week-and-a-half into training camp, Philadelphia has 35 locks on the 53-man roster (up from 34), led by Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, and a core group at WR/OL/DB. Darius Cooper jumps from bubble to lock, while Byron Young and Michael Carter are promoted from non-locks; eight players moved up from the not-quite-locks, and 27 remain in the bubble with 21 longshots. Notable shifts include Will Shipley dropping toward the bubble, Cam Majors stepping up when Cam Jurgens left practice, Jake Majors rising, and Kapena Gushiken/Joshua Weru emerging as potential depth pieces. The roster picture will continue to evolve through the preseason.

"Assessing Eagles' Final Preseason Game: Roster Projections and Players to Watch"

As the Philadelphia Eagles wrap up their preseason, bubble players like Eli Ricks, Devon Allen, Ben VanSumeren, Deon Cain, and Arryn Siposs are being evaluated for a spot on the final 53-man roster. Ricks impressed with his performance at cornerback but faces tough competition. Allen showcased his value on special teams and has a chance to make the team. VanSumeren's strong run defense may not be enough to secure a roster spot, while Cain could find a place on the practice squad. Siposs, despite a lackluster preseason, may make the initial roster due to his holding skills for kicker Jake Elliott.

The Vikings may also consider bringing in external free agents to fill the remaining spots.
