The Philadelphia Eagles roster is shaping up as we head into the final stretch of training camp. With 48 locks, 16 bubble players, and 23 longshots vying for a spot, the competition is fierce. Today, we’ll take a closer look at the bubble players and rank them based on their performance and potential impact on the team.
1) EDGE Patrick Johnson: Johnson has impressed in camp and could be a valuable asset, especially with the emphasis on special teams this season.
2) DT Thomas Booker: Booker has outperformed his competition and deserves a spot on the roster as an interior defensive lineman.
3) iOL Brett Toth: Toth’s versatility on the offensive line makes him a strong contender for a roster spot.
4) WR Ainias Smith: Despite a slow start, Smith has shown improvement and could provide depth at wide receiver.
5) TE C.J. Uzomah: Uzomah’s blocking abilities could earn him a spot on the roster, especially if the team opts to carry four tight ends.
6) CB Josh Jobe: Jobe’s special teams prowess makes him a valuable player to consider.
7) LB Brandon Smith: Smith’s athleticism and potential could make him a sleeper pick for the roster.
8) OT/OG Darian Kinnard: Kinnard’s versatility on the offensive line makes him a solid backup option, but roster space is limited.
9) TE Albert Okwuegbunam: Okwuegbunam is a project player with potential, but his future with the team remains uncertain.
10) S Tristin McCollum: McCollum’s performance in camp and previous game experience could earn him a spot on the roster.
11) CB Eli Ricks: The team may explore trade options for Ricks to secure additional assets.
12) WR Parris Campbell: Campbell’s underwhelming performance raises questions about his role on the team.
13) TE E.J. Jenkins: Despite potential, Jenkins’ injury may impact his chances of making the roster.
14) S James Bradberry: Bradberry’s poor showing in the preseason may jeopardize his chances of securing a spot.
15) WR Joseph Ngata: Ngata’s lack of speed and separation may limit his impact on the team.
16) WR John Ross: Ross faces an uphill battle after a lackluster performance in camp and injury setback.
Additionally, S Caden Sterns could be a potential game-day callup once he recovers, providing depth at the safety position.
