The Eagles and Browns wrapped up two days of intense joint practices with good football by both teams’ second units in a barnburner on Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Philadelphia wasn’t as efficient on the defensive side of the ball, with the second team unit giving up almost 150-yards rushing to the Browns’ backups.

The Eagles are preparing to enter their second season under head coach Nick Sirianni, and after making the playoffs at 9-8 in 2021, Philadelphia will look to overtake Dallas in the NFC East.

The Birds added versatility and dynamic playmaking on both sides of the ball, after trading for wide receiver A.J. Brown and signing linebacker Haason Reddick and cornerback James Bradberry.

Several roster spots are already locked up, but Philadelphia has a deep roster and with competition set to be intense, there could be some tough decisions made prior to Week 1 of the 2022 regular season.

With the Eagles set to return for camp later this month, here’s a look at a prediction for the ten toughest and likely final cuts.

Eagles’ cornerback depth chart gets big boost with addition of James Bradberry

Philadelphia Eagles’ cornerback depth chart gets big boost with addition of James Bradberry

The Eagles may have finally solidified the cornerback position after agreeing to a deal with veteran cornerback James Bradberry on a one-year contract.

Bradberry, 28, was a Pro Bowler and one of the NFL’s top cornerbacks, but the Giants released him earlier this month for cap purposes.

Bradberry’s contract is worth up to $10 million with incentives, according to Adam Schefter.

Pairing Bradberry, with Darius Slay and Avonte Maddox, now gives Philadelphia starting unit that’s not at a disadvantage in any matchup and it greatly increases the depth in the secondary.

Lions 2021 draft: A cornerback for every round

Expect the Lions to address the CB position at some point during the 2021 NFL draft

The 2021 NFL draft offers the Detroit Lions intriguing prospects across several position groups. One of the more important ones for the new-look Lions is cornerback.

Detroit signed veteran Corn Elder this week to help shore up the depth chart, but the Lions can still add more young help to the unsettled corps. Youngsters Jeff Okudah and Amani Oruwariye has shown promise as the starting outside tandem, and Elder can handle the slot, but beyond that, the only other CB currently on the roster is Mike Ford, a special teams player.

Expect the Lions to address the CB position at some point during the draft. After tabbing Okudah at No. 3 overall in 2020, it’s unlikely GM Brad Holmes would dip back into the position at the No. 7 overall spot. But we’ll include an option anyway.

The players listed here are generally projected as fits in the top 10 picks of the round listed, where the Lions would select prior to any trades. Even though Detroit doesn’t currently have sixth or seventh-round picks, we still included a corner for each round.
