Eagles’ 16-man practice squad prediction ahead of final roster cuts

The Eagles are counting down to the Tuesday afternoon deadline in which the organization will have to trim their roster down to 53 players, with a 16-man practice squad to be formed hours afterward.

With changes to the practice squad in recent years, Howie Roseman utilizes a farm system of versatile players to interchange weekly based on injury, opponent, or roster manipulation.

Of the 16 players allowed on Philadelphia’s practice squad, ten have to be rookies or second-year players, while the remaining six have no limitations (veterans).

With the Eagles set for a Monday morning practice, here’s our final prediction for the team’s 16-man practice squad.

Allen signed with the Eagles as a free agent during the 2022 offseason after a six-year hiatus competing as an Olympic hurdler.

Allen had one memorable 55-yard touchdown against the Browns last year, and logged a 73-yard kickoff return in the finale.

Allen can run routes and be productive as a gunner.

Goodrich didn’t see any action in 2022 but has loads of potential and shined during this summer before suffering an injury.

Goodrich see time in the slot as a call-up, and offers solid value.
