Eagles 53-man roster prediction ahead of preseason opener vs. Ravens

Eagles 53-man roster prediction ahead of preseason opener vs. Ravens

The Eagles are back at the NovaCare Complex for Week 3 of training camp and are starting to prepare for the preseason opener in Baltimore against the highly-ranked Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. The contest will preview a scheduled week 13 regular season contest that could see two MVP favorites at quarterback with the season winding down.

Philadelphia has increased the intensity in practice season after the 2023 collapse, and Friday night’s matchup offers a chance to provide clarity for several high-profile roster battles. Players on the bubble will look to create separation, and we will be watching to see which starters, if any, will play in the first quarter.

With the Eagles starting the second of four straight practices before Friday’s game, we’re unveiling the fourth 53-man roster prediction ahead of the preseason opener.

The 2023 NFL All-Pro will look to turn on the turnovers under first-year OC Kellen Moore.

After being traded to the Eagles, the former Steelers first-round pick will serve as Jalen Hurts’s primary backup, but he’ll have to defeat Tanner McKee in the training camp battle.

McKee would have to fall off the cliff to lose a roster spot to Will Grier, and he could rise up to the backup quarterback spot.
