There is little intrigue about who will start at linebacker for the Eagles – expect to see Mychal Kendricks and Nigel Bradham as outside linebackers, with Jordan Hicks in the middle. But the three of them combined to miss 15 games last season because of injury, and depth is a major concern at the position.
The only established backup linebacker is Najee Goode. Ty Powell and Deontae Skinner have NFL experience, but they’ll need to play their way onto their roster. The Eagles spent a seventh-round pick on Joe Walker, but three of the team’s five past seventh-round picks never played a down for the team.
