Eagles moving Genard Avery to linebacker for 2021 NFL season
@footwork_king1 says Eagles are moving Genard Avery to LB. Makes a lot of sense. I didn’t like how they used him in the past. This is the right move. https://t.co/q9boqMr8Z2

Lost in the news of the Eagles pending Carson Wentz trade, is the word that Genard Avery is set to switch to the linebacker position for the 2021 NFL season.
The Eagles traded their 2021 fourth-round pick to acquire Avery ahead of the 2019 NFL trade deadline from the Browns.

Final Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster projection ahead of season opener vs. Washington
[jwplayer 0ao68phe]
The Philadelphia Eagles are less than one week away from a season-opening showdown in D.C. against Chase Young and the Washington Football Team.
With training camp over and several notable changes to the roster, here’s our final 53 man roster projection with two extra players added because the Birds technically can elevate two practice squad players per week, basically carrying 55 if they so choose.
***
Sudfeld was the unquestioned backup but Hurts looked sharp at times during training camp. It wouldn’t be a shock if the Eagles moved on from Sudfeld, but if he makes the team he’ll be the backup one week from now.
***
The Eagles appeared prepared to enter the 2020 NFL season with two holdovers from last season and a refurbished Corey Clement, but it appears only three running backs will make the cut.
Look for the undrafted rookie Adrian Killins to find a role on the expanded practice squad after being a part of the first round of cuts.
