Takeaways and observations from the Eagles’ first unofficial depth chart

The Eagles released their first unofficial depth chart of the summer as the team begins preparation for a Friday night preseason matchup against the Jets at Lincoln Financial Field.

Most of the regular season starters have been known, but several key position battles and roster scenarios gained clarity after Philadelphia released a three-deep outlook for every position.

It’s unclear if Jalen Hurts will start against the Jets with both left tackles dealing with concussions, and the depth chart indicates who’d be the next man up.

With Philadelphia scheduled for a Tuesday morning walk-through, here are the takeaways and observations from the first unofficial depth chart.

Miles Sanders is the top running back on the depth chart, but the Eagles believe Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott are the same, as there is no clear No. 2 running back.

Jason Huntley is currently holding off undrafted rookie Kennedy Brooks.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is said to be a coach’s favorite, but he’s the last tight end on the depth chart.

Jack Stoll has been able to hold off rookie Grant Calcaterra, while Tyree Jackson is on the PUP list and not available for the depth chart.

Seumalo is king at RG

With Brandon Brooks retiring, Isaac Seumalo will get the first shot at right guard alongside the All-Pro, Lane Johnson.

Jack Driscoll is listed as the backup correct tackle, while Jack Anderson is the backup right guard. Le’Raven Clark is the third team left tackle, giving Philadelphia the deepest offensive line in football.

Expect teams around the league to approach the Eagles for a trade.
