Tank Bigsby’s trade gives Philadelphia a versatile option behind Will Shipley as a rib injury lingers, plus a capable kick returner for field-position leverage. Bigsby rushed for 766 yards and seven TDs last season for Jacksonville and carries an 28.5-yard kickoff return average, suggesting a meaningful early role as the Eagles navigate backfield depth.

Beyond the backfield, the discussion weighs AJ Dillon’s roster fate, Jaylen Carter’s discipline, and Vic Fangio’s defensive adjustments. The crew also highlights rookies Cooper DeJean and Keely Ringo, Adoree’ Jackson’s return to a starter’s role, and how Howie Roseman’s aggressive roster churn could shape Week 2 and fantasy value across Philadelphia’s skill players.

Roster moves after final cuts boost Philadelphia's depth. Marcus Epps returns, strengthening the safety group as Sydney Brown and Makuba press for starting roles. Willie Lamin adds interior meat, while a re-signed long snapper reinforces special teams. The 14-player practice squad includes Elijah Cooks, Eli Ricks, Gabe Hall, and Darius Cooper, providing flexible depth behind the 53-man roster. Health updates around Dickerson, Brown, and Smith paint a hopeful Week 1 outlook.

Stock-watch from the Eagles’ 22-13 preseason loss to Cleveland centers on a promising defensive depth surge and a few unsettled spots on the O-line. Jiad Campbell sparked the night with explosive A-gap pressure and clean finish on the quarterback, hinting at a future as a versatile edge defender. Drew Makuba followed with a first NFL preseason interception for a pick-six and a clean late fumble recovery, while Sydney Brown and Tristan McCollum both flashed coverage chops that could push for early-season snaps. Cooper DeJean and Reed Blankenship sit as focal points in the secondary as Philadelphia experiments with its nickel and base looks. Offensively, the line collapsed for much of the night, with Kendall Lamb and Matt Prior struggling at tackle and guard, underscoring a real backup‑OL concern as Week 1 nears. Braden Mann punted seven times with solid directional ability, underscoring the Eagles’ emphasis on special teams in roster decisions. The quarterback duel between Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Kyle McCord showed growth and some rough edges, while Will Shipley’s absence kept the backfield rotation murkier. Steen’s steady rise at right guard and a few standout performances from Gabe Hall and Byron Young offered bright spots amid the early-season questions.
