Eagles’ updated 53-man roster vs. Dolphins: News and notes for Week 7

We’re under 12 hours away from the Eagles (5-1) and Dolphins (5-1) getting together at Lincoln Financial Field for an explosive Sunday night matchup on NBC.

Former Alabama quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa will reconnect as MVP candidates leading dynamic offenses and stout defenses.

The matchup could be a potential Super Bowl preview and feature four of the NFL’s top wide receivers: A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle.

With kickoff fast approaching, here’s Philadelphia’s updated 53-man roster after several moves.
