Philadelphia's 53-man roster spotlight centers on youth and depth behind the top stars. Hurts stays as the obvious starter in a three-QB room, with Tanner McKee and Sam Howell filling the depth chart and discussion turning to how the offense uses its receiver corps after the Cooper-Dodson-Metchie trio emerges. Darius Cooper seizes a spot, while Cameron Williams and Trevor Keegan land roster spots alongside Miles Hinton landing on IR, signalling a long-game plan for the line and pass-catchers.

On defense, the Eagles push 11 O-line options, six corners and a full set of edge-rushers, with Tristan McCollum anchoring at safety and Andre Sam providing late-round intrigue. The day’s chatter shifts to who could land on the practice squad and how the return game and long snapper situation could shift the roster in the next 24 hours, all with an eye on Week 1 versus Dallas.

Fantasy takeaway: Cooper’s elevation matters most behind the star receivers, while McKee, Williams, and Keegan give the offense a stacking of upside plays. Expect incremental targets for the rookie trio and potential immediate value for Cooper as a late-season, high-upside bench option. The roster’s evolution keeps the door open for surprise contributors who could leap into immediate snaps.

Eagles’ preseason finale unpacked the roster puzzle: Montreal Johnson flashed at RB and kept the 53-night debate alive with AJ Dylan out; Dallas Gant’s goal-line stop underscored the defense’s depth and the coaching staff’s willingness to push a few players for the final cuts. Perry Nickerson’s nickel role and a Perry Nickerson interception added intriguing roster-spot considerations, while Kyle McCord’s rough QB3 night kept the quarterback development storyline front and center.
