DESCRIPTION
The Philadelphia Eagles are now facing some extremely difficult decisions as they prepare to finalize their 53-man roster.
RB reacts to the Eagles' preseason finale and breaks down which players helped themselves, which players hurt their chances, and what Philadelphia's final 53-man roster could look like.
One of the biggest questions is Carson Steele. After another strong preseason performance, Steele finished with just 24 rushing yards but added 52 receiving yards and a touchdown. RB believes Steele has done enough to make the Eagles' roster, even if Philadelphia doesn't view him strictly as a running back. Could Steele find a role as a fullback, lead blocker or versatile offensive weapon?
Joshua Weru is another player who may have played himself onto the roster. The international pathway prospect recorded five pressures, a sack and three hurries during his preseason opportunities, giving the Eagles another intriguing developmental pass rusher.
On the other side, Tanner McKee may have suffered the biggest setback of the preseason. McKee completed 12 of 22 passes for only 55 yards and threw an interception in the Eagles' preseason finale. RB explains why McKee's regression is concerning, why the Eagles may have missed their opportunity to trade him when his value was much higher, and why the backup quarterback situation is now one of Philadelphia's biggest roster questions.
RB also breaks down the latest situation surrounding rookie receiver Makai Lemon, who struggled to create separation and had a costly drop that resulted in an interception. With Lemon's hamstring issues limiting his preparation, there are legitimate questions about how quickly he'll be ready to contribute.
Plus, RB reacts to Michael Morris' strong preseason, the Eagles' offensive line depth, Darius Cooper's roster status, Fred Johnson's chances, Uar Bernard and Joshua Weru, the linebacker competition, the crowded cornerback room and the safety situation.
The biggest questions heading into roster cuts include:
• Does Carson Steele make the Eagles' 53-man roster?
• Who wins the backup quarterback job between Tanner McKee and Andy Dalton?
• Does Elijah Moore make the team?
• How does Philadelphia handle its tight end depth?
• Which young defensive players survive the cuts?
• Does Cole Wisniewski make the roster?
• Which players are headed to the practice squad?
RB gives his complete Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster prediction and explains the biggest surprises before the roster is finalized.
