Final Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster projection ahead of season opener vs. Washington

Final Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster projection ahead of season opener vs. Washington

CB — 4 — Darius Slay, Craig James, Sidney Jones, Avonte Maddox

Craig James has had a better camp at cornerback than Sidney Jones and his contract extension could signal the end for the former second-round pick out of Washington.  Rasul Douglas has had a great camp but could still be the odd man out, while Avonte Maddox will start opposite Darius Slay.

Slot — 2 — Cre’Von LeBlanc, Nickell Robey-Coleman

LeBlanc is the least mentioned player on the list, but he’s solid and Jim Schwartz has to find a role for him. Robey-Coleman has had the hype this summer and if he can truly be the ‘slot-god’ in Philadelphia, the Eagles could have a top-5 secondary.
