As the roster currently stands, the Eagles elected to keep four running backs and three tight ends, as Kenjon Barner's terrific preseason earned him a spot in the Eagles' backfield. It's a tough break for rookie Raheem Mostert, who had a stellar preseason as well, but couldn't quite find his way onto the active roster. The Eagles also kept six wide receivers (Nelson Agholor, Seyi Ajirotutu, Miles Austin, Riley Cooper, Josh Huff and Jordan Matthews), leaving fan favorite and local product Rasheed Bailey on the outside looking in. Bailey's touchdown grab against the Jets just wasn't quite enough to lock down a roster spot.
Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez are the only quarterbacks on the roster.
On the offensive line, the Eagles will have Josh Andrews, Matt Tobin, Dennis Kelly and David Molk serving as backups to the starting five.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Eagles kept five cornerbacks - E.J. Biggers, Nolan Carroll, Byron Maxwell, Denzel Rice and Eric Rowe. Rice is the real story here, as the undrafted rookie out of Costal Carolina won a job thanks to a determined effort throughout OTAs, Training Camp and the preseason.
The Eagles will monitor the roster moves made by other NFL teams and continue to mine for talent. Players who are on the waiver wire can be claimed beginning at Noon on Sunday and teams can fill out their 10-man practice squads at 1 PM. The roster currently stands at 52 players, leaving one more spot on the active roster left to be filled.
