There have been several changes to the Philadelphia Eagles 90-man roster over the first nine practices of training camp, yet the goal remains the same. The Eagles are still a Super Bowl contender, a team that should compete with the best in the NFL. The 53-man roster just has to be set. With the second 53-man roster projection in, there's a blueprint for how he roster will turn out. How many spots are actually available on the roster? Based on this breakdown -- this is how many roster locks we determined the Eagles have, how many players likely have a spot, and who's on the bubble. Roster locks -- 35 (up from 30 prior to camp)Likely to make roster -- 8 (down from 13 prior to camp)Players on roster bubble -- 28 (down from 31 prior to camp)28 players are basically vying for 10 spots with cutdown day on August 30. Quarterback Roster locks: Jalen HurtsPlayers on bubble: Tanner McKee, Andy Dalton, Cole PaytonBased on how the QB2 situation has played out, Dalton has the early head here. He has the edge over McKee for the backup quarterback spot, but McKee is also on track to make the roster (assuming he doesn't get traded). Payton doesn't deserve a roster spot right now. He's too careless with the football and throws too many interceptions. The only way he makes the roster is if the Eagles trade McKee or Dalton at this stage. Running back Roster locks: Saquon Barkley, Tank BigsbyPlayers on bubble: Will Shipley, Dameon PierceLittle to no shot: Carson Steele, Ja'Quinden JacksonShipley was likely to make this roster entering camp, but there's a competition for RB3 now. This battle is between Shipley and Pierce, but Pierce is nursing a hamstring injury right now. This job still belongs to Shipley, even if he's having an underwhelming camp. Shipley is still a bubble player thanks to the competition with Pierce. Wide receiverRoster locks: DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai LemonLikely to make roster: Darius CooperPlayers on bubble: Hollywood Brown, Johnny Wilson, Britain Covey, Elijah MooreLittle to no shot: Samori Toure, Quez Watkins, Danny Gray, Erik Ezukanma, Brandon HayesA lot has changed at wide receiver over the first nine practices. Cooper isn't a lock to make the team, but he's playing his way to that status. There are some questions regarding Brown's future on the roster, especially with how he's performed in training camp. Moore is a bubble player, but he's played his way into competing for a roster spot. Covey just returned from a hamstring injury and was having a solid start to camp. There's still a battle for WR5, even if Cooper isn't a part of it. Tight endRoster locks: Dallas Goedert, Eli Stowers, Johnny MundtPlayers on bubble: Cameron Latu, E.J. JenkinsLittle to no shot: Stone Smartt, Grant CalcaterraThere's still the chance the Eagles keep four tight ends, yet they have their top three for the 53-man roster. Latu could play fullback, so he's on the bubble. Jenkins is a key on the field goal unit, as he has a shot (he's also been a part of the roster for several years). If the Eagles keep four, it will come down to how Latu and Jenkins perform the rest of the way. TackleRoster locks: Jordan Mailata, Lane Johnson, Markel BellLikely to make roster: Fred JohnsonPlayers on bubble: Myles Hinton, Cameron WilliamsLittle to no shot: John OjekwuThis position is set with the top four players. There's concern whether Johnson can make the 53 due to Markel Bell taking over the No. 3 tackle job, but Johnson got the first team reps at right tackle when Lane Johnson needed a rest on Monday. Johnson should make this roster, as there's little depth behind him. Hinton has a shot as a guard/tackle, but he'll have to play his way towards that fifth tackle spot. There is a roster spot available here. GuardRoster locks: Landon Dickerson, Tyler SteenPlayers on bubble: Michael Jordan, Micah Morris, Willie Lampkin, Hollin PierceThe battle for the No. 3 guard beelongs to Drew Kendall, who we're listing as a center. Kendall is the top guard option behind Dickerson and Steen, taking first team reps when Dickerson gets a breather. Lampkin has jumped Morris on the depth chart and is playing his way towards a roster spot. The Eagles have liked how Lampkin has been making plays in practice and standing out on film. He may be ahead of Jordan too. CenterRoster locks: Cam Jurgens, Drew KendallPlayers on bubble: Jake MajorsKendall has been one of the bright spots in camp, seizing the No. 3 guard spot and also duplicating as the backup center to Jurgens. The Eagles are giving Majors a long look here, just in case Kendall is needed at guard. Majors went from a long shot to a bubble player. He's had a solid camp. Pass rusherRoster locks: Jonathan Greenard, Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith, Arnold Ebiketie, A.J. EpenesaLittle to no shot: Joshua Weru, Keyshawn James-Newby, Jose Ramirez, Tarron JacksonThe Eagles have been set here, enough where Epenesa played his way to a roster lock. That demonstrates how well Epenesa has played in the absence of Greenard, who is on PUP with a pectoral injury. If the Eagles go six pass rushers, this is the Brandon Graham spot. There is no indication of a Graham return right now, but Graham would like to be back at some point in training camp. Defensive tackleRoster locks: Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Moro Ojomo, Byron YoungLikely to make roster: Uar BernardPlayers on bubble: Ty Robinson, Gabe Hall, Zion WilsonLittle to no shot: David BlayThe Eagles have four roster locks at defensive tackle, thanks to how well Young has performed this summer. Bernard is expected to make the roster as a way for the Eagles to protect him from being claimed off waivers. Who's going to be the sixth defensive tackle? Robinson hasn't played well through nine practices, and there's a case to be made Hall is outplayed him. Don't sleep on Wilson either. Off-ball linebackerRoster locks: Zack Baun, Jihaad Campbell, Jeremiah Trotter Jr.Likely to make roster: Smael MondonPlayers on bubble: Chance CampbellLittle to no shot: Deontae LawsonThere are three starters at linebacker on the Eagles, which shows the strength of this position. Mondon should also as a spot on this roster, but Vic Fangio gave the warning not to sleep on Campbell. The Eagles may go five off-ball linebackers if Campbell plays well enough. This is why he's a bubble player, elevated from a long shot. CornerbackRoster locks: Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Tariq Woolen, Jonathan JonesLikely to make roster: Kelee RingoPlayers on bubble: Mac McWilliamsLittle to no shot: Tariq Castro-Fields, Shawn Wade, Jakorian Bennett, Ambry ThomasCornerback is starting to settle itself, as Jones basically a roster lock as the second-team cornerback in the slot an dthe outside. Ringo is an excellent special teams player, which separates himself from the pack. McWilliams has made plays this summer, and also has gotten burnt. Let's see how he does this preseason. Bennett has fallen out of the bubble race, a she's basically a long shot at this point.Castro-Fields has had a good camp. SafetyRoster locks: Andrew MukubaLikely to make roster: Marcus Epps, Michael CarterPlayers on bubble: Cole Wisniewski, J.T. Gray, Andre Sam, Maximus Pulley, Kapena GushikenEpps and Carter are in a battle for the starting safety competition. Both players have been consistent this summer and should make the roster. The Eagles will be fine if either starts at safety.Who gets the No. 4 spot is up in the air. Wisniewski has not practiced with a hamstring injury, but Pulley has made highlight plays this summer. This spot is wide open. SpecialistsRoster locks: Jake Elliott, Braden MannLikely to make roster: Rocco UnderwoodElliott won't need competition brought in for his job. He's bene excellent throughout the nine camp practices at kicking field goals.Underwood doesn't have competition yet, but there's reason to be concerned as he's been inconsistent. Let's see what develops in the preseason games, but he's still likely to make the roster -- for now. Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
