Philadelphia Eagles updated 53-man roster ahead of the season opener at the Detroit Lions

The Eagles are in Detroit and a little under 18 hours away from kicking off the season opener on the road against the Lions.

The Birds are a slight favorite and will look to start the season on a positive note with a huge home matchup against the Vikings ahead on Monday Night Football.

Jalen Hurts will look to cement his status and a new contract this season, while Jonathan Gannon’s retooled defense could be among the best in the NFL.

With the team settled in and prepared, here’s an updated look at the 53-man roster with news and notes after the elevation of Britain Covey.

Philadelphia Eagles’ roster comparison: 2021 vs. 2022 offense

Howie Roseman has dramatically upgraded the roster, and we’re comparing Philadelphia Eagles’ 2021 offense to the retooled 2022 version

The Eagles returned to the postseason in 2021 a year or two ahead of schedule, and their 31-15 road loss to the Buccaneers signaled a change in roster building.

He was often criticized for not valuing the linebacker position, and GM Howie Roseman gave the group a complete renovation, signing a pass rusher, an athletic marvel in coverage while drafting the top defender from college football’s best team.

Knowing he needed to address the wide receiver position, Roseman traded several picks to the Titans in return for a young superstar, A.J. Brown.

With the 2022 regular season now just a week away, we’re comparing the rosters from last season and this current team on both sides of the football, starting with the offense.

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:

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.

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.
