In most normal NFL offseasons, Michael Warren would be incorporated into the Eagles roster via the practice squad or simply landing on the 53 man roster.
With the coronavirus pandemic halting the offseason workout program and teams now scrambling to reduce their training camp rosters to 80, Warren is in jeopardy of possibly being an odd man out in the Eagles backfield.
The Eagles need a compliment to Miles Sanders and although names like Devonta Freeman have been mentioned, Warren’s tough running style should translate to the NFL. Despite having a smaller name in collegiate circles, Warren has been a workhorse since 2018 and joins some big names in the category of gaining first down yards after contact.

2. Travis Etienne – 45
3. Chuba Hubbard – 38

Warren turned pro after rushing 261 times for 1,265 yards and 14 touchdowns in 14 games last season for the Bearcats.
Standing 5-foot-9, 226 pounds, the Toledo, Ohio, native is a load to bring down and very productive.
