The Eagles' initial roster includes just four wide receivers, three linebackers, and no punter. Additional moves could come into play leading up to the season opener.
The initial 53 consists of seven defensive tackles, seven cornerbacks, and nine offensive linemen. To make space for the crowded position groups, the team went with just four wide receivers, three linebackers, and no punter.Advertisement
He had untimely shanks in the playoffs both years and a wayward punt against the Chiefs in the Eagles’ Super Bowl LVII loss contributed to a pivotal return from Kansas City return man Kadarius Toney. “A lot of these guys that we cut today we’re interested in bringing back,” Roseman said. “We have a practice squad, we’ve talked about the roster being 69 guys as opposed to 53 and having flexibility in those spots. I think when you look at Sip, obviously the season didn’t end the way we wanted to and he would say the same thing, but also have confidence in his abilities.
Ricks, a former five-star recruit with long arms and solid movement skills, made it over a few contributors from last year’s team, including former fourth-round pick K’Von Wallace and last year’s punt return specialist Britain Covey. Wallace, a 2020 draft pick out of Clemson, played in all 17 games for the Eagles last year as a special teams ace but couldn’t crack into the Eagles starting defense this summer even with a notably thin group of safeties ahead of him.
The Eagles carried six edge rushers on the initial roster, including veteran pass rusher Derek Barnett. Barnett was given permission to seek a trade earlier this week, according to a league source confirming an ESPN report, because the former first-round pick was unhappy with the limited role he’s expected to have in the team’s edge-rusher rotation.
