9/10/2023 0 Comments Eagles roster cuts 2021Tyree Jackson is a converted quarterback who looked really good in camp, but suffered a back injury that sidelined him. The Eagles may look to get him on their practice squad. While Ertz and Goedert are no surprise, the fact that four tight ends made the cut and that did not include Richard Rodgers, who has been a good safety net for the team multiple times, is a bit of a shock. Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert, Tyree Jackson, Jack Stoll Johnson is still hurt, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Birds looked to bring Huntley (or Howard) back to their practice squad. Injuries to Jason Huntley and Kerryon Johnson essentially ended their shots at making the 53-man roster. Overall, having just three players at the position is a bit of a shock, especially since Gannon had used a committee in Indianapolis and figures to do the same here. Sanders and Scott are fairly known quantities but it shocked most to see that Jordan Howard was cut with how good he looked in camp combined with his improvement in areas like pass catching. Gainwell has looked explosive as a rookie. Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Kenneth Gainwell When the Eagles traded for Gardner Minshew a couple days ago, they basically announced who would be in their quarterback room to start the season. In fact, Jacoby Stevens was the only of their eight draft selections in 2021 that did not find themselves on the initial 53-man roster. In a bit of a departure from previous years, the Eagles seemed to select quite a few younger and rookie players over veterans, particularly at the depth positions. The team will almost certainly hope to sign some of the players they cut back on the practice squad once they can begin signing people to that. The Eagles officially have a 53-man roster to begin the 2021 season. By Paul Bowman, Sports Talk Philly Editor
