The Philadelphia Eagles released their initial 53 man roster on Saturday and now all 32 NFL teams will partake in the process of forming 16 or 17 man practice squad. The Eagles started the process on Saturday when they had visits from Graylan Arnold, Deontay Burnett, Travis Fulgham, Elijah Holyfield, Luke Juriga, Adrian Killins, Elijah Riley, and Michael Warren.

That would leave eight more spots to fill.

The Philadelphia Eagles already had the potential to have one of the NFL’s deepest and most talented practice squads and that goal could come to fruition after all 12 guys waived on Thursday cleared the waiver process and are now free agents, free to sign wherever.

Guys like Deontay Burnett, Adrian Killins, Elijah Holyfield, Grayland Arnold, and Luke Juriga all had a strong training camp and all look guys who can develop and likely see game action this season for the Eagles thanks to the expanded roster and practice squad.

Eagles GM Howie Roseman on ‘competition’ dictating which WR plays

Howie Roseman says competition will dictate which Eagles WR plays

The Philadelphia Eagles went from having one of the slowest skill groups in the NFL to potentially have a formidable 4-100 relay team made out of wide receivers.

The Eagles started off by landing Jalen Reagor at pick No. 21 overall. The former TCU star is known for his jets and big-play abilities. After Reagor, the Eagles landed an elite athlete in Boise State wide receiver John Hightower.

Then Howie Roseman flipped a sixth-round pick former 49ers speed-burner, Marquise Goodwin. By the time the ink was dry on Goodmin, Roseman sealed the deal by adding Southern Miss speedster Quez Watkins.

Howie Roseman now has a wide receiving corps that includes DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery, Greg Ward, JJ Arcega-Whiteside, Marken Michel, Marcus Green, Shelton Gibson, Robert Davis, River Cracraft, and Deontay Burnett.

That’s ten veterans to go with three rookies and a recently acquired veteran in Goodwin. Everyone’s not going to make the cut and when asked what we’ll determine playing time on the outside, Roseman didn’t mince words.

The Eagles finished the season with a practice squad at wide receiver. They’ll enter the 2020 season with one of the fastest teams in the NFL, that won’t have room for everyone involved.

Eagles QB Carson lands a top-10 ranking in deep ball accuracy for 2019

Carson Wentz ranked No. 9 in deep-ball accuracy in 2019

Carson Wentz can sling the football around with the best of them and despite a poor year from the weapons around him, the Eagles star still stood out statistically.

Wentz had a career year in spite of his receiving corps having no player with more than 500 yards through the air.

Even with the Eagles being among the league leaders in dropped passes, Wentz ranked No. 9 for the second straight season in the NFL for deep ball accuracy in 2019 according to the 2019-2020 Deep Ball Project.

“There are a couple rough spots with Wentz’s deep accuracy. He was sensational throwing to his left (finishing 2nd), but was closer to the bottom throwing to the middle (29th) and to the right of the field (26th). As a tight window passer he again finished 26th.

However, Wentz’s deep accuracy remains high in spite of a 31.37 completion percentage thanks to 12 Accurate Incompletions that came through the hands of his Hallmark Channel receiving talent. He stood out throwing 26-30 yards (5th) as well as 41+ yards (7th), and was great against edge pressure and outside the pocket (ranking 6th in both categories).”

Wentz ranking should be encouraging for Eagles fans, as he was one of the best long-ball throwers who was able to be successful without a true deep threat to depend on outside of the season opener.

The Eagles signal-caller should be land near the top of the rankings if the Eagles can secure a young deep threat in the NFL Draft.
