Eagles have made their cuts, and got to their (initial) 53-man roster:
QB – 3 – Foles, Sanchez, Barkley
RB – 3 – McCoy, Sproles, Polk
WR – 6 – Maclin, Cooper, Matthews, Smith, Huff, Maehl
TE – 4 – Celek, Ertz, Casey, Burton
OL – 9 – Peters, Mathis, Kelce, Herremans, Barbre, Tobin, Molk, Gardner, Kelly
DL – 7 – Thornton, Logan, Cox, Curry, Bair, Allen, Hart
OLB – 5 – Barwin, Cole, Smith, Graham, Braman
ILB – 4 – Ryans, Kendricks, Goode, Matthews
S – 4 – Jenkins, Allen, Wolff, Maragos
CB – 5 – Williams, Fletcher, Boykin, Carroll, Watkins
STs – Jones, Parkey, Dorenbos
They went light at RB. Polk must be ready to play. Parkey beats out Henery. Tobin apparently got injured vs the Jets a bit, so perhaps Dennis Kelly is insurance there -- he's probably gone when Johnson returns, if not sooner.
If Benn is on the designated-to-return IR, maybe he replaces Maehl eventually. Not sure the Eagles have to name that player yet.
This is just the initial 53... it can and probably will change before the first game. Do they really like Parkey, or will they look for another kicker? Will they look for a better ILB than Matthews (seems like they were prepared to cut him until Long's injury, so very possible there). Will they look to trade Barkley and pick up another QB (if not why were they working out Buffalo's cut QB recently)? Will there be other cuts they like (Jets cut the 6-4 WR Stephen Hill)?
