The Eagles are counting down to the Tuesday afternoon deadline in which the organization will have to trim their roster down to 53 players, with a 16-man practice squad to be formed hours afterward.
With changes to the practice squad in recent years, Howie Roseman can have a farm system of versatile players to interchange weekly based on injury, opponent, or roster manipulation.
Of the 16 players allowed on Philadelphia’s practice squad, ten have to be rookies or second-year players, while the remaining six players have no limitations (veterans).
With the Eagles set for afternoon practice, here’s our final prediction for the team’s 16-man practice squad.
WR Devon Allen
Allen has speed, and that can’t be taught. He’ll join the practice squad and impact a game for Philadelphia at some point late in the season.
QB Reid Sinnett
Sinnett continues to develop in Philadelphia unless a better prospect gets waived or goes unclaimed.
WR John Hightower
The third-year wideout knows the system and has made plays in regular season games.
WR Britain Covey
More speed and special teams potential from Covey as he develops every week.
Josh Sills
Philadelphia develops offensive linemen, and Sills has nice size.
OL Le'Raven Clark
OL Jack Anderson
TE Noah Togiai
Togiai and Richard Rodgers are equal at this point, and the former Oregon State pass catcher is younger.
RB Kennedy Brooks
The rookie running back offers size and an opportunity to learn the NFL game.
Reed Blankenship
Blankenship should make the 53-man roster, and if he somehow made it through waivers, the practice squad would prepare the former Middle Tennessee star to make his first start midway through the regular season.
LB Christian Elliss
LB JaCoby Stevens
Mario Goodrich , CB
An All-ACC cornerback at Clemson, Goodrich spends 2022 getting better by covering A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Quez Watkins, and Zach Pascals.
