41 players who are locks for the Eagles 53-man roster

Projecting the 41 players who are locks for 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 with the roster deadline a little more than 24 hours away.

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), and of the 53 roster spots, we’ve predicted 41 guys are locks to make the roster.

Eagles re-sign CB Josh Blackwell

After initially parting ways with the cornerback, the Philadelphia Eagles have re-signed Josh Blackwell

The Eagles have re-signed cornerback Josh Blackwell almost 48 hours after including the undrafted free agent in the team’s second round of roster cuts.

Blackwell played the least amount of snaps (11) out of all the players on the roster bubble, and like Mac McCain and Kary Vincent Jr., all three have lost snaps to undrafted rookie Josh Jobe.

Blackwell will now rejoin the Eagles in Miami for Saturday’s final preseason matchup of the summer.
