The Philadelphia Eagles are starting to trim down their roster with days remaining until final cuts. Two roster moves were made on Monday, one involved the release of J.T. Gray with six days remaining until the initial 53-man roster deadline. Gray was one of the Eagles' signings in March, so there were plans for him to make the roster early in the offseason.Players on one-year deals aren't guaranteed much, especially when the deal was for $1.3 million with $200,000 guaranteed salary. Gray was always on the roster bubble, regardless of when he signed with the team.The thought still remained the Eagles signed a special teams standout, a three-time All-Pro in that phase of the game. Gray was given an opportunity to make the team at safety, and beat out Kelee Ringo on special team. Neither materialized, as Gray fell down the safety depth chart early in camp and Ringo did enough at cornerback to stick around. While Ringo is still a bubble player, it's unlikely he gets cut given the Eagles' depth at cornerback. This doesn't concern the entire position, just the back end ay cornerback. The Eagles have their starters in Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, and Tariq Woolen. Behind them is Jonathan Jones, who has been out with a shoulder injury (and may be out a while longer). The Eagles will need to find players to fill out the No. 4 and No. 5 cornerback spots if Jones remains out, at least one spot. Ringo is the best of the bunch between himself, Mac McWilliams, and Kapena Gushiken. Ambry Thomas isn't making this roster and the Eagles placed Tariq Castro-Fields on injured reserve. Shaun Wade has played well this preseason, but he likely isn't making the team. Isaiah Bolden was just signed last week. Ringo has held his own this preseason and is one of the best gunners in the NFL. There's a spot on this roster for him. What about the other position battles in the secondary -- and on the remainder of the roster? There are what to watch for over the final week of camp. Position battles still to be decidedNo. 2 QBThe contenders: Tanner McKee, Andy DaltonThe Eagles insist this is still a competition, but McKee should have taken the lead in the battle given how he has performed in the preseason compared to Dalton. While Dalton has been abysmal, the Eagles have a pulse when McKee has been under center. No. 4-5 WRThe contenders: Hollywood Brown, Darius Cooper, Elijah MooreThese three wideouts are battling for two spots, and Brown is close to sealing his spot on the roster. Hard to envision the Eagles moving on from Brown given he's owed $5 million guaranteed.Cooper has been one of the best wideouts in training camp and does the dirty work as a blocker. He also may have a roster spot in hand. Moore is making it difficult for the Eagles to cut him, so they could keep six. No. 10 OLThe contenders: Jake Majors, Micah Morris, John Ojwkwu, Cameron WilliamsThe Eagles have their first nine offensive linemen settled. The question that remains -- who's the 10th? Majors has played well at guard, but the Eagles have Drew Kendall and Willie Lampkin as the backup guard and center. Markel Bell and Fred Johnson are the backup tackles, which makes nine. Morris has been fine this summer, but injures have set the sixth-round pick back. Ojukwu was coming around and can be a hybrid guard/tackle before a pectoral injury set him back. The Eagles like Williams, but it's difficult to have five tackles (and Williams doesn't play guard). This position is still wide open. The question is whether the Eagles go tackle or guard. The IPP guysThe contenders: Uar Bernard, Joshua WeruThe Eagles are going to reserve one spot on the 53 for the International Pathway Program players. The spot was for Bernard, who they drafted in the seventh round. Could the Eagles actually protect two IPP players on the 53? Thanks to how Weru has played this preseason, it is a possibility. Hard to justify the Eagles leaving Weru exposed to waivers after how he's performed this preseason, as he'll likely get claimed by another team. The Eagles may have no choice to protect Weru, but does that come at the expense of Bernard?Are the Eagles really going to protect two IPP players? They may only protect one based on their needs at the bottom of the roster at other positions. No. 5-6 cornerbackThe contenders: Kelee Ringo, Kapena Gushiken, Mac McWilliamsIf the Eagles only keep five cornerbacks, Ringo gets the spot (assuming Jonathan Jones is back). The Eagles could go with six, and Gushiken and McWilliams could make it. McWilliams can play the outside and the slot, and the 2025 fifth-round pick has gotten a long look this summer. Gushiken can play safety and the slot -- while having special teams versatility. Based on the Jones injury, the Eagles may keep both. No. 4 safetyThe contenders: Cole Wisniewski, Kapena Gushiken, Maximus Pulley, Andre SamThis battle is coming down to the final preseason game, and there isn't a favorite. The Eagles like Gushiken because of his position versatility, and he can play cornerback and safety. Pulley has been impressive this summer as an undrafted free agent and the Eagles have been giving a long look at Wisniewski since he's been back (only to be sidelined again with a concussion). Sam isn't out of the race yet either.How the preseason finale goes may determine the roster spot.
