Eagles 53-man roster projection, before the start of training camp - PhillyVoice

What the report says

PhillyVoice’s Jimmy Kempski published an early projection of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 53-man roster ahead of training camp, which the outlet says begins next Tuesday. The article frames the list as a first attempt before camp competition and possible roster moves reshape decisions over the coming weeks. It is not an official team roster, but a position-by-position forecast of how the Eagles could look at cutdown time.

On offense, Kempski projects three quarterbacks: Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee and Cole Payton, with Andy Dalton missing the team despite being acquired earlier in the offseason. The forecast has Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley at running back, five wide receivers led by DeVonta Smith, and four tight ends including Dallas Goedert. The offensive line projection includes 10 players, with the expected starters joined by depth options such as Fred Johnson, Markel Bell, Drew Kendall, Myles Hinton and Micah Morris.

Defensively, the projection includes six edge defenders, with Kempski anticipating Brandon Graham could sign before camp, though he notes that is not certain. The interior defensive line group is projected at five, led by Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis, while the linebacker group includes Zack Baun, Jihaad Campbell and Jeremiah Trotter among five total. The secondary projection features Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Riq Woolen, Jonathan Jones and Kelee Ringo at cornerback, plus four safeties.

The specialists are projected as Jake Elliott, Braden Mann and Rocco Underwood. The roster exercise matters because Philadelphia’s camp will determine depth roles, special-teams spots and whether the front office adds veterans or explores trades before the regular season.
