At the end of the day – in this case, 4 PM on Tuesday when all NFL rosters were reduced to 53 players – the Eagles kept their best 53. For now. In the course of a long, 17-game regular season, every player is going to have value. The practice squad is critical to the season’s success and the work the entire personnel department has done to this point will manifest itself in the moves the Eagles make in the hours and days and even weeks ahead.
It pays to be prepared for everything.
“We have a lot of uncertainty. We have a lot of work here to do, too, as a staff,” Roseman said, “with all the players that are available. Any upgrade, even incrementally, that helps the team, we’re looking for here.
“We’re incomplete right now. We’re at 53, but we really view it as a 70-man roster.”
The takeaway is that the Eagles are one step closer to the regular season. They made it through a full Training Camp and three preseason games as healthy as a team can be – knocking on wood profusely and only speaking of the past – and, hey, let’s go. The pieces of the puzzle are snug and in place right now, but they are going to change and move around and the complexion of the roster is going to change.
What matters now is winning football games that count in the standings, and that is the focus for the Philadelphia Eagles as the 2024 kickoff nears.
