NOTEABLES

Dameon Pierce (RB)

This appeared to be a good signing when it happened, but Pierce couldn't stay healthy most of camp. Pierce got into Friday night's preseason finale, and flashed, picking up 44 yards on just four runs. But he appeared to hurt himself again and didn't play after just thoe four carries.

If Pierce doesn't get claimed elsewhere, he would likely return to the practice squad. Pierce was in a competition for the RB3 job when he signed in March.

Jose Ramirez (OLB)

A sixth-round draft pick of the Buccaneers in 2023, Ramirez had a good showing most of the summer. He is 27 years old and has played in just four NFL games. Ramirez is a candidate for the practice squad.

Keyshawn James-Newby (EDGE)

The second of the three seventh-round picks for the Eagles this year, James-Newby was caught in a deep pool of pass rushers on the Eagles. Philadelphia had their pass rushers set for most of the summer, as an ankle injury significantly hurt James-Newby's chances to make the team.

James-Newby will likely end up on the practice squad, as he played well in the preseason finale. He had a 16.7% pressure rate in three preseason games.

Carson Steele (RB)

Steele had a tremendous preseason for the Eagles, playing his way into consideration for the 53-man roster. He was the best receiver this preseason for the Eagles, having 14 catches for 136 yards and two touchdowns (9.7 yards per catch) -- 128 of which came after the catch.

The Eagles were looking for a fullback, but that spot is trending towards Cameron Latu with Steele not making the 53. Philadelphia needs depth at tight end with Eli Stowers having a hamstring injury and not being ready to contribute in Week 1 -- which may be where Latu comes in.

Gabe Hall (DT)

Hall was a victim of a roster crunch by the Eagles at defensive tackle, as the Eagles were set at that position in regards to the 53. While Hall made the initial 53-man roster and played well this preseason, it was going to be difficult for Hall to make the team after Ty Robinson shined in the later practices of camp.

Hall is certainly a candidate for the practice squad, if he goes unclaimed on waivers. He should be on a 53-man roster somewhere, after having four pressures and a quarterback hit this preseason.

Cole Wisniewski (S)

Injuries certainly did Wisniewski in, as he missed the majority of training camp with a hamstring injury. Wisniewski also missed a lot of OTAs and spring practices with a hamstring injury, so he couldn't get off the ground running.

The Eagles gave Wisniewski a long look at safety when he was healthy, but a concussion after the second preseason game was a setback. The injury did put him out of contention for the final safety spot, assuming the Eagles keep four safeties.

Zion Wilson (DT)

Wilson was one of the highest-paid undrafted free agent signings by the Eagles, as Philadelphia signed him in June. He had two quarterback hits and four pressures in the preseason, having a good inside move that got him into the backfield on several plays.

Wilson appears if he'll be a practice squad candidate. The Eagles were set at defensive tackle on the 53-man roster, so Wilson was always a long shot to make it.

Myles Hinton (T/G)

The Eagles tried to make it work with Hinton. They moved him to guard, but Hinton struggled there early before moving back to tackle. The 2025 fifth-round pick was essentially a roster afterthought, getting into preseason games late in the second half.

Will the Eagles have a fifth tackle on the initial 53? That's one of the mysteries when figuring out the initial 53.
