Updated Eagles’ 90-man roster by jersey number as training camp gets underway

Philadelphia Eagles’ updated 90-man roster by jersey number as training camp gets underway, and four roster moves have already been made

After months of projecting and speculation, The Eagles have reported to the NovaCare Complex and will hold their first official practice on Wednesday morning.

All eyes will be on Jalen Hurts as he looks to solidify himself as the quarterback of the present and future. Other players to watch include A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert on offense.

For the defensive side of the ball, Jonathan Gannon is front and center as the defensive coordinator after adding Haason Reddick, Kyzir White, Nakobe Dean, Jordan Davis, and others to the roster.

There have been some new additions to the roster over the past two weeks, and we’re taking an early look at Philadelphia’s 90-man offseason roster by jersey number.

How many roster spots are up for grabs as Eagles enter training camp?

How many roster spots are up for grabs as the Philadelphia Eagles enter training camp?

The Eagles are gearing up for the start of training camp, where players will gather at the NovaCare Complex in South Philadelphia on July 26.

Philadelphia will then work to trim that roster from 90 to 53 players by the end of the preseason, with two joint practice sessions looming for players on the bubble.

With the same regime in place and continuity across the board, there won’t be many guaranteed roster spots available.

A handful of players appear ready to snatch up available spots.

With the Eagles three days out from the start of camp, here’s a closer look at the roster locks and spots still available as Philadelphia approaches training camp in 2022.

Who are locks to make the Eagles’ 53-man roster?

Which players are locks to make the Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster?

The Eagles have a lot of individual talent and one of the top overall rosters in the NFL, making this one of the easier evaluation periods as training camp approaches in just nine days.

Outside of the safety position, there aren’t many holes, with most of the intense roster battles involving backup spots on both sides of the ball.

Philadelphia’s 22 projected starters are set at every position except safety (Epps, Tartt), and of the 53 roster spots, we’ve predicted 41 guys are locks to make the roster.

Ranking the Eagles’ rookies by potential impact in 2022

Ranking the Philadelphia Eagles rookies by potential impact in 2022

The Eagles finished the 2022 NFL draft with five players selected, and followed that up by signing 12 undrafted free agents to deals before their initial rookie minicamp.

Philadelphia’s five-man class offers the potential for two immediate starters on defense, and three key backups at interior offensive line, edge rusher, and tight end.

The 12-man undrafted free agent class offers the potential for key contributors at running back, cornerback, and edge rusher as well, but time will tell and the team won’t be together again until the start of training camp on July, 26.

With the Eagles on an extended break, here’s a ranking of Philadelphia’s rookies by potential impact in 2022.

The Philadelphia Eagles returned to the practice field for the third day of Organized Team Activities (OTAs), where the offense and defense continue to put work in ahead of training camp in late July.

With no mandatory minicamp scheduled, the Birds will meet for three days next weekend before breaking until the start of preseason actions.

Here’s a look at the best photos from Philadelphia’s OTAs, including a look at quarterback Jalen Hurts, first-round pick Jordan Davis, and all-world wide receiver, A.J. Brown.

The Eagles are in Week 4 of their nine-week offseason workout routine for all 32 teams with the training programs broken down into three phases, no mandatory minicamp for the vets and an already completed rookie camp held after the draft.

There have been some new additions to the roster since the 2022 NFL draft, and we’re taking an early look at Philadelphia’s 90-man offseason roster by jersey number:

The Philadelphia Eagles officially welcomed 5 new members to their roster with their 2022 NFL draft class, and the wealth of young talent set to hit the roster won’t be reduced to that group of players.

On Friday, the Eagles announced the signings of 12 undrafted rookies free agents ahead of rookie minicamp this weekend, which runs Friday through Saturday.

After drafting no cornerbacks in the draft, Philadelphia added four cover guys through undrafted free agency. They also signed three offensive linemen.

Here’s a look at those undrafted free agents and the highlights to match.

The Philadelphia Eagles found a few gems in the undrafted free agent process and Rotoworld’s Thor Nystrom believes Howie Roseman put together one of the NFL’s strongest classes.

Using a system that places a 1-10 point value on each team’s UDFA, Nystrom based 90-percent of each team’s ranking on the average of its top-five UDFA signings.

Thanks to some big names at running back and on the offensive line, the Eagles classes ranked fifth in the NFL.

The Eagles landed behind the Browns, Saints, Chiefs, and Cowboys.

The Eagles graded out well in my system by combining high-quality signings with a bunch of calculated dart-throws, including the signing of former Arizona dual-threat quarterback Khalil Tate to give a receiver transition a spin in camp.

The headliners are Cincy RB Michael Warren, Michigan State DL Raequan Williams, Montana LB Dante Olson and Baylor DB Grayland Arnold, all borderline draftable guys. Warren runs like a sock of rocks but has cement shoes… it’ll be interesting to see if he can carve out a Fat Robb career. I like Raequan’s shot of sticking around. He doesn’t rush the passer, but he’s long, he’s versatile, and he brings his lunch pail against the run. Feels like a long-term swing backup type.

The Eagles have had prior success with undrafted free agents and during the 2019 offseason, T.J. Edwards signed with the team and after a productive rookie season, he’s pegged to be a likely starter at middle linebacker this season.
