Eagles Announce Initial 53-Man Roster for 2019
By Paul Bowman, Sports Talk Philly Editor
As we saw from the preseason games, the Eagles have quite a bit of depth on their roster.
While the Eagles by no means appeared to be unbeatable, they had some pretty good plays, even against other team’s starters. That is what is most important for a team like the Eagles who barely played their starters outside of a few game three drives.

Quarterbacks (3): Carson Wentz, Nate Sudfeld, Josh McCown
Running Backs (4): Miles Sanders, Jordan Howard, Darren Sproles, Corey Clement
