Grading Eagles’ offensive position groups ahead of preseason finale

Philadelphia is now hours away from the final preseason matchup of the summer against Shane Steichen and the Indianapolis Colts.

After an intense but impactful joint practice session, Nick Sirianni will again likely rest his starters while watching select rookies and veterans compete for roster spots.

If not for Marcus Mariota, the Eagles quarterback room would have landed an A grade with Tanner McKee’s promising development.

One of the most talented position groups on the roster, Philadelphia has seen strong play from all five running backs and will have a tough decision to make on Trey Sermon.

A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith returned to training camp even better, while Quez Watkins has been on a mission and Olamide Zaccheaus is a impact player.

Dallas Goedert is the big name, but the Eagles are hopeful that Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra can become much improved pass catchers.
