Eagles’ initial Week 1 depth chart on defense signals more moves coming

It took a series of savvy trades and some tough decisions to arrive at this point, but the Philadelphia Eagles have finalized their initial 53-man roster for the 2025 season.

“Initial” is the key word, though, as some glaring problem areas remain for general manger Howie Roseman as he works to build another Super Bowl roster.

While undrafted rookie Darius Cooper making the team makes for a great story, Philly’s fourth or fifth wide receiver won’t decide its season. The Eagles remain stacked on offense across the board, with two-thirds of their current salary cap committed to that side of the ball, per ESPN’s Dan Graziano.
