After two days of intense practice, the Philadelphia Eagles picked up their first preseason win over the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium last Sunday.

Philadelphia then traveled to Miami for a joint practice with the Dolphins before finishing working alone on the final day after the host team dealt with a stomach bug. 

Saturday night marks the final audition for several players on the bubble.

With the roster needing to be trimmed to 53 players by Tuesday, here are 15 players who need strong performances against Miami at Hard Rock Stadium.

Philadelphia Eagles roster bubble: 15 players who need a strong performance against the Cleveland Browns

After two days of intense practice, the Philadelphia Eagles will try to pick up their first preseason win when they clash with the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Philadelphia (0-1) will likely rest their starters after those joint practices, allowing key veterans and rookies to move off or on the roster bubble.

With the roster needing to be trimmed to 80 players by Tuesday, here are 15 players who need strong performances against Cleveland.

The Eagles have been looking to add running back depth to the roster, and on Wednesday, the team had former North Texas star DeAndre Torrey in for a workout.

Small in stature (5′ 7” 199 lbs), Torrey makes up for his lack of size with big play abilities as a dual-threat running back.

During his final season with the Mean Green, Torrey logged 1,215 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, and during his career, he racked up 36 total rushing touchdowns, with another four receiving scores.

Philadelphia currently has Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Kenneth Gainwell, Jason Huntley, and Kennedy Brooks on the roster at the position.
