    Eagles training camp underdog snags roster spot from Pro Bowl starter in final depth chart prediction

    The Philadelphia Eagles have one more preseason game to play on Saturday and then it's time for roster cuts.

    While we don't know exactly who will make the official 53-man roster, we've seen enough over the past few months to predict what it might look like after Saturday.

    So, let's have some fun here and dive right in.


    Quarterbacks

    Starter: Jalen Hurts
    Reserve: Tanner McKee, Kenny Pickett

    Running Backs

    Starter: Saquon Barkley
    Reserve: Kenny Gainwell, Will Shipley

    Wide Receivers

    Starters: A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson
    Reserve: Britain Covey, Johnny Wilson

    Tight Ends

    Starters: Dallas Goedert, Grant Calcaterra
    Reserve: E.J. Jenkins

    Offensive Line

    Starters: Mekhi Becton, Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, Lane Johnson
    Reserve: Tyler Steen, Fred Johnson, Brett Toth, Trevor Keegan, Dylan McMahon

    The Skinny: The biggest battles on the offense this offseason came down to right guard and WR No. 3. Right guard Mehki Becton didn't suit up in the Eagles' second preseason game giving a clear sign that he won the starting job over Steen. The Eagles then surprised us with a fun trade to fill their WR3 void , snagging former first-round pick Jahan Dotson from rival Washington Commanders.


    Outside Linebackers

    Starters: Bryce Huff, Josh Sweat,
    Reserve: Brandon Graham, Jalyx Hunt, Patrick Johnson, Nolan Smith

    Defensive Line - EDGE Defenders

    Starters: Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Milton Williams
    Reserve: Moro Ojomo, Thomas Booker IV, Marlon Tuipulotu

    Inside Linebackers

    Starters: Devin White, Zack Baun,
    Reserve: Nakobe Dean, Ben VanSumeren, Jeremiah Trotter Jr.

    Cornerbacks

    Starters: Darius Slay, Isaiah Rodgers, Quinyon Mitchell
    Reserve: Kelee Ringo, Cooper DeJean

    Safeties

    Starters: C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Reed Blankenship
    Reserve: Avonte Maddox, Tristin McCollum

    (***Sydney Brown remains on the PUP list)

    The Skinny: For the most part, the Eagles had their defense figured out heading into training camp except for their secondary. What they end up doing with James Bradberry remains up in the air but for this prediction, Tristin McCollum wins the last spot on the official 53-man depth chart. And at the cornerback position, Isaiah Rodgers just barely beats out Kelee Ringo for the starting job.
