Philadelphia Eagles Cut Multiple Veterans, Finalize 53-Man Roster Ahead of Deadline

As the Philadelphia Eagles approach the Tuesday deadline to trim their roster to 53 players, several notable cuts and practice squad predictions have emerged. Veteran wide receiver Terrace Marshall, despite early praise and solid preseason performance, was released due to injury setbacks, potentially opening a spot for rookie UDFA Darius Cooper. The Eagles also cut former first-round pick Kenyon Green, who had limited impact following a trade acquisition and injury, drawing fan criticism over the trade. Rookie quarterback Kyle McCord, who struggled during the preseason and after the team acquired Sam Howell, was waived ahead of the season opener, highlighting the Eagles' cautious approach to their backup quarterback situation. Versatile veteran cornerback Parry Nickerson, despite a strong training camp and preseason showing, is projected to miss the final roster and possibly join the practice squad as the Eagles balance their cornerback depth. Meanwhile, the Eagles prepare to finalize a 16-man practice squad featuring a mix of rookies and veterans, including developmental players like Laekin Vakalahi and others poised for elevation based on injuries or tactical needs.
