The Eagles' 53-man roster is taking shape, and with cut-down day just around the corner, Willie Lampkin's future hangs in the balance.
With cut-down day less than a week away, the Eagles are making their final decisions on the 53-man roster.
The Eagles' quarterback situation is relatively stable, with Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, and Cole Payton locked in as the top three. However, Andy Dalton's preseason performances have raised concerns about his ability to serve as a reliable backup quarterback.
Meanwhile, the running back position is looking solid with Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley set to make the cut. Carson Steele's impressive showing against the New England Patriots has opened up the possibility that he could be a surprise inclusion on the 53-man roster.
The Eagles' wide receiver corps is also taking shape, with DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, and Hollywood Brown looking set to make the cut. However, Elijah Moore's chances of making the roster are looking slim, despite his impressive preseason performances.
Tight end is another position that is still up in the air, with Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt, Eli Stowers, and Cam Latu vying for a spot on the roster. Cam Latu's versatility and special teams value make him a strong contender for the fourth tight end spot.
The Eagles' offensive line is also a position that is still being finalized, with Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, Tyler Steen, Lane Johnson, Markel Bell, Drew Kendall, Willie Lampkin, and Micah Morris set to make the cut. Fred Johnson's shaky training camp and lack of special teams value make him a likely candidate for the practice squad.
Defensive tackle is another position that is looking solid, with Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Moro Ojomo, Byron Young, Ty Robinson, and Uar Bernard set to make the cut. Ty Robinson's recent surge in confidence has solidified his spot on the roster, while Uar Bernard's development has also made him a contender for a roster spot.
The edge rusher position is also taking shape, with Jalyx Hunt, Jonathan Greenard, Nolan Smith, Arnold Ebiketie, AJ Epenesa, and Joshua Weru set to make the cut. Joshua Weru's two encouraging preseason outings have firmly secured his spot on the roster, while Arnold Ebiketie and AJ Epenesa's solid summers make them strong contenders for a roster spot.
As the Eagles make their final decisions on the 53-man roster, Willie Lampkin's future hangs in the balance. With his spot on the roster uncertain, Lampkin's performance in the final preseason game will be crucial in determining his fate.
