Eagles tighten 53-man roster outlook as Weru earns edge, Lampkin in the mix

With cut-down day looming, this second projection sticks Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, and Cole Payton as the three quarterbacks; a backfield of Barkley, Bigsby, and Will Shipley with Carson Steele possibly earning a surprise roster spot; five wide receivers (DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown); four tight ends (Goedert, Mundt, Stowers, Latu); nine offensive linemen including Willie Lampkin; six defensive linemen (Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Moro Ojomo, Byron Young, Ty Robinson, Uar Bernard); six edge players including Weru; five linebackers; six cornerbacks; three safeties; three specialists. Weru’s strong preseason has him firmly on the roster, Lampkin’s versatility supports his inclusion, and trades or practice-squad moves could still shuffle the final 53.

Eagles shake off rough week with cleaner showing, but safety depth looms vs. Patriots

Philadelphia’s backups delivered a notably cleaner performance in a 24-21 preseason loss to New England, showing tighter execution, better discipline and several bright spots (Tanner McKee with 16-of-22 for 173 yards and 2 TDs; Will Shipley with 56 rushing yards and a score; Darius Cooper with 3 grabs for 44 yards; Ty Robinson and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. providing push on defense). The offense moved the ball well by halftime and new play-calling looked more confident. However, safety depth remains thin, with rookie Andrew Mukuba’s miscues and limited help from Gray/Wade, plus coverage breakdowns by Kelee Ringo, Isaiah Bolden, and Ambry Thomas. Dalton struggled again (3-for-10), and penalties (illegal formation) and a late defensive lapse underscore that, despite progress, several roster and consistency issues still need addressing before the regular season.
