The Eagles have to narrow their roster to 75 players by Tuesday and to 53 by Sept. 3. Here’s a look at each position as final cut-down day looms:
Aug 23: Offensive line
Aug. 24: Defensive line
Aug. 25: Linebacker
Aug. 26: Wide receiver/tight end
Aug. 29: Running back
Aug. 30: Defensive back
Aug. 31: Quarterback/specialist
LINEBACKER
LIKELY TO KEEP: 5
WHO STAYS
Jordan Hicks, Mychal Kendricks, Nigel Bradham, Stephen Tulloch, Najee Goode, Joe Walker (IR)
The Eagles could keep as many as six linebackers, and back when they were a 4-3 defense under Andy Reid they often did.
