Analyzing the Philadelphia Eagles’ updated 53-man roster

Roster building in the NFL is always a fluid situation, and after weeks of practice and months of speculation, Philadelphia released its official 53-man roster for the 2022 NFL regular season.

The Eagles made 29 total moves, including waiving Devon Allen and Britain Covey, although both players returned to the 16-man practice.

Philadelphia claimed quarterback Ian Book off waivers from the Saints, and the former Notre Dame quarterback would be the third signal-caller on the roster.

The Eagles fixed a previous mistake, trading Jalen Reagor before finishing the week by claiming running back Trey Sermon off waivers from the 49ers.

With preparation for the Lions set to begin, here’s an updated 53-man roster.

Eagles 53-man roster among the NFL’s youngest in 2022

The Philadelphia Eagles’ aging roster is no more, and Howie Roseman has assembled one of the NFL’s youngest and most talented groups.

Heading into the 2020 NFL season, Philadelphia had one of the NFL’s oldest rosters, and GM Howie Roseman made it clear that a youth movement would be underway.

The Eagles started to move on from older veterans like Malcolm Jenkins, Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, Malik Jackson, Nigel Bradham, and others, replacing them with younger, less expensive talent via the draft and undrafted free agency.

The shift in philosophy in player evaluation has also paid off, and Roseman has rebounded with solid late-round additions.

The Birds are no longer among the older teams in the league, and according to Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice, Philadelphia has the ninth youngest roster in the NFL, heading into the 2022 season.

Eagles 25.7 (9)

The Browns, Lions, Cowboys, and Giants were among the clubs with younger rosters than Philadelphia, and it will make for exciting battles within the division for the next few years.

Takeaways and observations from Eagles claiming Trey Sermon off waivers

Takeaways and observations from Philadelphia Eagles claiming Trey Sermon off waivers and what it means for Miles Sanders-Kenneth Gainwell

Philadelphia added another running back to the roster on Thursday, claiming former Ohio State running back Trey Sermon off waivers from the 49ers.

The 23-year-old Sermon saw action in nine games (two starts) in his rookie season, logging 167 yards on 41 carries (4.1 yards per carry) and scoring one touchdown.

Sermon added three receptions for 26 yards.

With Sermon on the roster, Philadelphia now has four running backs, and the 6-0, 215-pound second-year running back will assume the role vacated by Jordan Howard.

Here are several takeaways and observations from the move.

Ten takeaways from the Philadelphia Eagles’ initial 53-man roster

After three weeks of training camp, three joint practice sessions, and three preseason games, they have announced their initial 53-man roster for the 2022 regular season.

NFL rosters are constantly fluid, so it’s the first of many variations, with the practice squad serving as a minor league training ground for potential future contributors.

Philadelphia will now continue to upgrade the roster via the waiver wire or released players, and the team won’t officially start preparing for the season opener in Detroit until Friday at the earliest.

With the roster cuts now official, here are ten takeaways from the moves.

Eagles roster cuts: Tracking the path to 53 players

We’re tracking the Philadelphia Eagles as they trim the roster down to 53 players by the August 30th deadline

The two-week joint practice travel sessions are over, and the final round of roster cuts are upon us, where the Philadelphia Eagles have to trim their roster from 80 to 53 players before 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

A handful of players have made a case for a roster spot, but unfortunately, they’ll likely be reduced to the practice squad with Philadelphia having about 41 locks on the roster.

We’re tracking the Eagles’ roster cuts as they happen before Tuesday’s deadline:

Eagles to waive RB Jason Huntley

The Philadelphia Eagles are waiving running back Jason Huntley as the team trims the roster down to 53 players by Tuesday at 4:00 PM EST

With Philadelphia stacked at the running back position, the team is waiving talented rusher Jason Huntley ahead of Tuesday’s roster deadline.

Huntley made his case for a spot on the roster, and during the preseason finale, the veteran running back rose to the occasion, logging 11 carries for 93-yards and one 67-yard touchdown scamper late.

The veteran running back joins Jaquiski Tartt and Carson Strong as the first 37 cuts between Monday and Tuesday afternoon.

Huntley could still land on the Eagles practice squad if he’s not claimed.

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.

Breaking down our final Eagles 53-man roster projection

Breaking down our final Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster projection

The Philadelphia Eagles are done with their traveling joint practice sessions, focusing on the team’s season opener against the improved Lions.

Head coach Nick Sirianni sat 33 players on Saturday night in the 48-10 loss to the Dolphins.  The final preseason matchup was centered around veterans and undrafted rookies looking to play their way off the roster bubble.

We believe there are about 42 locks on the roster and 23 players vying for 10 or 11 spots, depending on potential trades or surprise releases.

With Philadelphia set to trim their roster down before the Tuesday deadline, here are takeaways and notes from the Eagles Wire’s final 53-man roster prediction for the summer.
