Breaking down the Eagles’ 53-man roster as we head into the season opener Friday night. Players are listed alphabetically within each position group.

Quarterbacks

Jalen Hurts

Oklahoma | Years pro: 4 | 6-1, 223

Hurts followed up an MVP runner-up performance in 2022 by taking a step back in 2023. He threw for a career-high 3,858 yards but had the same number of interceptions (15) as in his previous two seasons combined and lost a career high five fumbles. Hurts had a strong camp running new coordinator Kellen Moore’s offense, but 2024 will mark another season with a new voice in his ear calling plays. Can Hurts return to MVP form? It’s the biggest question standing between an early playoff exit and a Super Bowl appearance.

Tanner McKee

Stanford | Years pro: 1 | 6-6, 231

Another training camp saw McKee at times outperform the team’s second-string quarterback. Last year, it was Marcus Mariota. This time, it was Kenny Pickett. But McKee, a sixth-round pick in 2023, was far from perfect, and he will start the season again as the team’s emergency option on game day. At the very least, McKee, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is happy to be heading to Brazil, where he spent time in 2020 on a mission trip.

Kenny Pickett

Pittsburgh | Years pro: 2 | 6-3, 220

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ No. 20 overall pick in the 2022 draft, Pickett arrives in Philadelphia as a full-time backup for the first time in his NFL career after a rocky two-year stint as a starter. The Eagles acquired the Ocean Township (N.J.) High School grad in an offseason trade with the Steelers, who are turning to Russell Wilson as their signal caller. Pickett, 26, had an OK training camp and put together his steadiest performance of the preseason in the finale. McKee pushed him at times throughout the exhibition slate, but Nick Sirianni has emphasized that Pickett is the No. 2 to Hurts.

Running backs

Saquon Barkley

Penn State | Years pro: 6 | 6-0, 233

The Eagles’ most high-profile offseason addition to the tune of a three-year, $37.75 million contract, Barkley has a legitimate chance to provide far more than just star power in his return to his home state. His tenure with the Giants showed that he’s one of the league’s best running backs, and the Eagles hope his most productive years lie ahead, with a dominant offensive line and multidimensional system around him as reasons for optimism. If Barkley stays healthy, expect him to be a high-volume contributor all season.

Kenneth Gainwell

Memphis | Years pro: 3 | 5-9, 200

The Eagles handed Gainwell the ball 84 times in 16 games in 2023 as he backed up D’Andre Swift and yielded some touches to Boston Scott. Gainwell didn’t take off quite the way he planned in his third season, and now the Eagles have Barkley leading the backfield and rookie Will Shipley in the mix. But Gainwell had a decent camp and should factor into the offense plenty. He has averaged 4.4 yards per carry over his three seasons and can be a weapon in the passing game, too.

Will Shipley

Clemson | Years pro: R | 5-11, 209

The fourth-round running back figures to serve in the backfield rotation behind Barkley and on special teams. He took a considerable number of snaps with the first- and second-team offenses throughout camp, flashing his receiving ability in addition to his potential as a downhill threat. Shipley will look to evolve as a pass protector as he gets accustomed to the NFL game.

Wide receivers

A.J. Brown

Mississippi | Years pro: 5 | 6-1, 226

Few receivers have been more dominant than Brown in his two years with the Eagles, which is why the team this offseason made him one of the highest-paid pass catchers in the NFL through 2029. Brown has become Hurts’ No. 1 target and has surpassed 1,400 yards in each of the last two seasons. He showed no signs of slowing down during training camp and got a heavy share of the passes thrown his way, suggesting that he is poised for another big year.

Britain Covey

Utah | Years pro: 2 | 5-8, 173

For the first time in three seasons with the Eagles, Covey made the initial 53-man roster. Not only did his performance as one of the league’s best punt returners last season (first in return yards with 417) help solidify his case for making the team, but also he flashed his growth as a receiver throughout camp. Still, Covey is expected to primarily serve through his special teams contributions this season, especially given the recent trade for Jahan Dotson.

Jahan Dotson

Penn State | Years pro: 2 | 5-11, 184

Dotson’s acquisition was necessary for Howie Roseman and the Eagles. The team simply didn’t have enough talent at wide receiver behind Brown and DeVonta Smith to be at all comfortable if either star misses time. Will Dotson — who has 84 catches, 1,041 yards, and 11 scores in his first two seasons — factor majorly in the offense? It’s unlikely. The Eagles won’t be drawing up many plays for their WR3, and they have a lot of talented players commanding touches in front of him. But Dotson will get the attention of opposing defenses, and that alone is a valuable asset.

DeVonta Smith

Alabama | Years pro: 3 | 6-0, 170

Early in camp, Brown said that no one had been able to cover Smith, asserting that the 25-year-old receiver is on the cusp of taking another jump in his career. That would be an exciting prospect for the Eagles offense, as Smith is one of just seven NFL receivers with at least 80 catches, at least 1,000 yards, and at least seven touchdowns in each of the last two seasons. Smith solidified himself as a key piece of the team’s future when he signed a three-year, $75 million extension in April, keeping him under contract through 2028. As the Eagles transition to a new offense under Moore, Smith figures to play a versatile role thanks to his ability to line up in the slot or on the outside, which he demonstrated throughout camp.

Johnny Wilson

Florida State | Years pro: R | 6-6, 228

With a tight end’s build and a wide receiver’s route tree, Wilson made meaningful progress up the Eagles’ depth chart during training camp before missing time with a concussion. Wilson’s contributions may not be immediate, but the sixth-round pick’s first training camp showed why he piqued the Eagles’ interest: He has a rare blend of movement ability for his size.

Tight ends

Grant Calcaterra

SMU | Years pro: 2 | 6-4, 240

Calcaterra ran away with the No. 2 tight end job in training camp before another contender could truly emerge, but the 2022 sixth-round pick seems ready for the increased role. He can pose a threat as a receiving option and has taken noticeable strides as an in-line blocker. Considering how important Dallas Goedert is in the passing game, the latter may be more important for Calcaterra as TE2.

Dallas Goedert

South Dakota State | Years pro: 6 | 6-5, 256

Goedert has missed a total of eight games because of a pair of injuries the last two seasons. Last year, a forearm fracture sustained in Week 9 kept him sidelined for three games. Goedert, now 29, did not look himself upon his return. His catch percentage dropping from 73.1% in the first nine games to 67.7% in his last five. The starter between just two tight ends on the initial 53, Goedert will look to return to form as one of Hurts’ primary targets in the passing game now that he’s healthy.

Offensive line

Mekhi Becton

Louisville | Years pro: 4 | 6-7, 363

In terms of upward mobility, few had a better summer than Becton. The former New York Jets first-round pick came into training camp as the presumptive first tackle off the bench and finished the preseason as the starting right guard in place of Tyler Steen. Becton’s transition from a highly touted left tackle prospect to an interior lineman with the Eagles has been relatively smooth. Can he carry that into the regular season and stay healthy?

Landon Dickerson

Alabama | Years pro: 3 | 6-6, 332

Dickerson is one of the best guards in the NFL — Pro Football Focus ranked him 15th heading into this season — and the Eagles signed him to an $87 million extension because of that. Dickerson made his second straight Pro Bowl last season, in just his third year. He’s big, physical, rarely penalized — he was called for holding just once in 2023 — and, paired with Jordan Mailata, is part of the enormous duo protecting Hurts’ blind side.

Fred Johnson

Florida | Years pro: 5 | 6-7, 326

Sirianni singled out Johnson as the player who impressed him the most with year-over-year development, and his depth-chart positioning illustrates exactly that. The 27-year-old has earned the proverbial swing tackle position on the offensive line and likely will be called into action if Lane Johnson or Mailata goes down. Fred Johnson fits the bill as a hulking tackle with long arms and a powerful base. Perhaps Jeff Stoutland’s tutelage can turn him into a reliable option for years to come.

Lane Johnson

Oklahoma | Years pro: 11 | 6-6, 325

Although Johnson was named second-team All-Pro last year, most in the Eagles organization would refer to him as the best right tackle in the NFL and for good reason. The 34-year-old’s impact on the team’s win column during his career has been well-documented. When he’s in the lineup, the Eagles have been successful. When he’s not, things have often looked ugly. He may have only a few years left, but Johnson should still be one of the most irreplaceable players on the roster this year.

Cam Jurgens

Nebraska | Years pro: 2 | 6-3, 303

OK, kid, go replace Jason Kelce. That’s the gargantuan task facing Jurgens, who slides over from right guard to center with some big shoes to fill. Jurgens held up just fine moving to guard last season, and he is plenty athletic to do the things Kelce was so good at doing in open space. Will he be the same force diagnosing things and setting protections against the blitz? We’ll find out soon, but the Eagles, and especially Hurts, seem confident there won’t be much drop-off.

Trevor Keegan

Michigan | Years pro: R | 6-5, 306

Keegan had a solid first training camp before suffering a hip injury that sidelined him toward the end of the summer, but it may take a slew of injuries for him to see meaningful playing time as a rookie. Before the injury, he spent most of his time as the second-team left guard. Still, there are a few guys who should start the season ahead of him on the interior line depth chart.

Darian Kinnard

Kentucky | Years pro: 1 | 6-5, 322

Kinnard is a reserve offensive lineman who played primarily at tackle during training camp. The 2022 fifth-round pick who started his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, joined the Eagles this offseason, and made the team presumably because his positional versatility stretches out to tackle. He may not be the first tackle off the bench, but he should be an important reserve.

Jordan Mailata

Australia | Years pro: 6 | 6-8, 365

Mailata heads into his fourth season as the full-time starter at left tackle. As the blindside protector to Hurts, Mailata has proved to be capable of going one-on-one against some of the league’s premier pass rushers. According to Pro Football Focus, Mailata gave up just three sacks last season, which is tied for fifth in the league among tackles who took at least 610 pass-blocking snaps. He will continue to have a big role on and off the field, especially in the absence of Kelce.

Tyler Steen

Alabama | Years pro: 1 | 6-6, 321

A third-round pick in 2023, Steen has entered each of the last two training camps with a chance to earn the starting right guard job — without success. He started this summer in the pole position but suffered an ankle injury early that then hampered his ability to close the gap on Becton. His role to start the season likely is as the backup right guard, but his college experience playing left tackle might make him an option there as well.

Defensive line

Thomas Booker

Stanford | Years pro: 1 | 6-3, 301

Booker is one of three players who signed reserve/future contracts with the Eagles in January and February and made the initial 53. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio likes to use odd fronts in his defense, so Booker has an opportunity to serve in the rotation behind starters Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, and Milton Williams. The 24-year-old defensive tackle played for the Cardinal, whose defensive principles originate from Fangio, their defensive coordinator in 2010.

Jalen Carter

Georgia | Years pro: 1 | 6-3, 314

Carter was the runner-up for the Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year award in 2023, but he faded a bit down the stretch. Now, at 23, he’s being asked to be even more of a dominant force for a young group of defensive tackles — none of them over the age of 25. Carter seems plenty capable of handling the expectations and is already among the best players at his position. He ranked sixth among defensive tackles last season in ESPN’s pass-rush win rate, ahead of established players like Quinnen Williams and Javon Hargrave.

Jordan Davis

Georgia | Years pro: 2 | 6-6, 336

After two up-and-down seasons, Davis faces an inflection point this year. The 2022 first-round pick is expected to take on a significant role at the heart of Fangio’s system, a far cry from the 45% of defensive snaps he played last season. If Davis is going to become an every-down player capable of making an impact as a pass rusher, he’ll need to show it sooner rather than later. Fletcher Cox’s departure leaves the Eagles with a young defensive tackle room relying on Davis to be a key contributor, but has he improved his conditioning enough to be the guy?

Moro Ojomo

Texas | Years pro: 1 | 6-3, 292

A number change isn’t the only thing that looks different about Ojomo this summer. After not playing much as a rookie, the 2023 seventh-round pick looks like he could warrant some situational snaps as part of an interior-rusher rotation, based on an encouraging training camp.

Milton Williams

Louisiana Tech | Years pro: 3 | 6-3, 290

Williams is coming off a really good training camp after being a key part of the defensive line in 2023. Williams, a third-round pick in 2021, played in 46% of the defensive snaps last season and started 10 games. After totaling four sacks in 2022, Williams had just half a sack in 2023. He stands to see an uptick in snaps with Cox gone and seems ready for the increased workload.

Byron Young

Alabama | Years pro: 1 | 6-3, 292

The newest Eagle, claimed after being waived by Las Vegas last week following cutdown day, has plenty of familiar faces in the Eagles’ locker room, including Smith and Dickerson, with whom Young won a national title in 2020. Young was a third-round pick of the Raiders last year and appeared in six games, logging four tackles. He was inactive for the final 10 games last season. The Eagles seem to think there’s some untapped potential that the Raiders gave up too quickly on.

Edge rushers

Brandon Graham

Michigan | Years pro: 14 | 6-2, 265

The current longest-tenured professional athlete in Philadelphia is considering the 2024 season his farewell tour. Graham, at age 36, will have a depth role behind starters Bryce Huff and Josh Sweat and continue to mentor the up-and-coming members of the pass-rushing corps including Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt.

Bryce Huff

Memphis | Years pro: 4 | 6-3, 255

Huff was Roseman’s biggest defensive addition in free agency. The 26-year-old defensive end signed a three-year, $51.1 million contract, taking over the starting spot left behind by Haason Reddick. In his four-year career with the Jets, Huff was a situational pass rusher. The 2020 undrafted free agent exploded for a team-high 10 sacks last season, helping him earn his new deal. Now, he must prove that he can evolve into an every-down player who is capable of taking on an increased workload and stopping the run, too.

Jalyx Hunt

Houston Christian | Years pro: R | 6-3, 252

The Eagles added Hunt, a former safety at Cornell who transitioned to his current position at Houston Christian, to the fold as a developmental pass rusher. He showed his athleticism in the preseason, whether he was rushing the passer (one quarterback hit in two games, according to Pro Football Focus) or covering in space. Hunt could play more of the 2023 Nolan Smith role this season, contributing primarily on special teams and developing behind the top edge rushers.

Patrick Johnson

Tulane | Years pro: 3 | 6-2, 248

Johnson is the definition of being rewarded for play during training camp and preseason. The seventh-round pick in 2021 has made the 53-man roster in all four of his training camps. Johnson is at the bottom of the depth chart to start, but he was good in the preseason, totaling six pressures and two QB hits (with one sack), according to Pro Football Focus. He played just 4% of the defensive snaps last season (and 76% of the special teams snaps) but could earn more this season if players ahead of him fade.

Nolan Smith

Georgia | Years pro: 1 | 6-2, 238

Smith is entering his second season, and, as a first-round draft pick last year, the Eagles need him to get it going. But Smith, Roseman said after training camp, is still developing. He is a speed rusher who hasn’t yet shown the strength and moves to bypass blockers and get home. He didn’t do a lot of that in the preseason, especially not in the preseason finale against lesser competition, but the Eagles hope Smith can find the next gear when the season starts.

Josh Sweat

Florida State | Years pro: 6 | 6-5, 265

Sweat followed up an 11-sack season in 2022 by finishing with just 6½ sacks in 2023, a drop-off that nearly saw him released in the offseason. But the Eagles instead brought him back on a cheaper contract, and Sweat, 27, should be motivated to earn his next deal. Huff came in to replace Reddick, but beyond Huff and Sweat there are question marks. Graham is on a retirement tour, and Nolan Smith and Hunt are young and unproven. The Eagles need the 2022 version of Sweat.

Linebackers

Zack Baun

Wisconsin | Years pro: 4 | 6-3, 225

Amid an overhaul at inside linebacker, the Eagles signed Baun to a one-year, $3.5 million prove-it deal in the offseason. With the New Orleans Saints for four seasons, Baun primarily served as a special teams ace, playing a career-high 27% of the defensive snaps last season. The 27-year-old brings the versatility to play outside and inside linebacker, but he is in line to start in the middle of the field alongside Devin White come Week 1.

Oren Burks

Vanderbilt | Years pro: 6 | 6-3, 233

Burks has carved out a nice NFL career as a core special-teamer, first with the Green Bay Packers and then with the San Francisco 49ers. He missed almost all of training camp with a knee injury, which leaves him toward the bottom of the linebacker depth chart, but his experience on special teams means he still should be able to contribute in that phase.

Nakobe Dean

Georgia | Years pro: 2 | 5-11, 231

Early in camp, it looked like Dean might be headed to a backup role after injuries ruined his sophomore NFL season. But Dean really came on and might even have earned himself a starting spot. Some two-player combination of Dean, Baun, and White will start in base and nickel packages. Dean seemingly was handed a starting job last season, and this time around, his speed, strength, and ability to be around the ball could earn him a spot. Questions remain, however, about Dean’s ability in pass coverage. Can he answer them if given the chance?

Jeremiah Trotter Jr.

Clemson | Years pro: R | 6-0, 225

The son of Eagles Hall of Fame linebacker Jeremiah Trotter is following in his father’s footsteps and looking to create his own legacy with the franchise as “Axe Man Jr.” Trotter figures to start his career as a special teams contributor before assuming a bigger role in the Eagles defense. He flashed his strong instincts throughout the preseason, particularly in the first game against the Baltimore Ravens, when he picked up the team’s first sack.

Ben VanSumeren

Michigan State | Years pro: 1 | 6-2, 231

One year after getting waived by the Eagles and signing with the practice squad, VanSumeren made the 53-man roster out of camp. The 2023 undrafted free agent evolved into a core special teams player last season, playing 74% of the team’s special teams snaps in nine games. As a depth inside linebacker, VanSumeren figures to contribute on special teams once more this year.

Devin White

LSU | Years pro: 5 | 6-0, 237

A glaring lack of depth and talent at inside linebacker led to the Eagles bringing in White on a $4 million deal ($3.5 million guaranteed), and the former Buccaneers backer, picked fifth overall in 2019, looked good early in training camp but faded a little as Dean rose. Will White’s pedigree — he was a second-team All-Pro selection in 2020 and a Pro Bowl selection in 2021 — be enough to give him the nod? Will the Eagles’ off-ball linebacking group be made up of some sort of rotation? We’ll know soon.

Defensive backs

Reed Blankenship

Middle Tennessee State | Years pro: 2 | 6-1, 203

While the team’s safety position dealt with attrition because of injuries and a midseason trade in 2023, Blankenship was the constant. He missed just two games because of injury, leading the defense with career highs in tackles (108) and interceptions (three). A 2022 undrafted free agent, Blankenship is going into his second season as the full-time starter, reuniting with C.J. Gardner-Johnson as his running mate.

Cooper DeJean

Iowa | Years pro: R | 6-0, 198

Roseman brightened the team’s future at cornerback in the offseason by selecting Quinyon Mitchell and DeJean with the Eagles’ first two picks in the draft. DeJean, the second-round selection (40th overall), primarily played cornerback at Iowa. However, after missing the bulk of camp with a hamstring injury, he has taken most of his reps at nickel cornerback. DeJean played in just the preseason finale, his first game since he suffered a broken leg in November, and showed that he’s still a bit rusty. It’s uncertain if DeJean will be a Week 1 starter in the slot, but he figures to assume a bigger role in the defense as he gets back up to speed.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson

Florida | Years pro: 4 | 5-11, 208

Guess who’s back? It’s Gardner-Johnson, who had a one-year stint with the Eagles in 2022. He passed on a multiyear deal from the Eagles at the end of that season with the aspiration of finding a better offer elsewhere, but he ultimately joined the Detroit Lions on a one-year, prove-it contract for 2023. Gardner-Johnson returns on a three-year, $27 million deal, bringing his playmaking ability and his quintessential energy to the secondary as one of its starting safeties.

Avonte Maddox

Pittsburgh | Years pro: 6 | 5-9, 184

After being released and brought back on a one-year deal, Maddox spent the early part of training camp cross-training at nickel and safety, but mostly played the latter down the stretch. Maddox’s versatility and ability to provide the Eagles with depth at safety and nickel easily earned him a roster spot. His path to the playing field is most likely at safety, since the corner spot is more crowded.

Tristin McCollum

Sam Houston State | Years pro: 1 | 6-3, 195

McCollum might have been one of the 53-man roster surprises, even after playing in three games last season, but Sirianni said the safety’s play, especially in preseason games, earned him the spot. McCollum, who went undrafted in 2022 and spent that season on Houston’s practice squad, will see plenty of special-teams time with the Eagles in 2024.

Quinyon Mitchell

Toledo | Years pro: R | 6-0, 193

The Eagles’ first-round pick this year, Mitchell looked every bit the part in his first training camp and even surprised with his ability to work both from the nickel cornerback spot as well as the outside. That will be important at least for this season. Mitchell figures to be the No. 2 cornerback opposite Darius Slay in the Eagles’ base defense but can bump inside to the slot when the team uses nickel packages with Isaiah Rodgers or Kelee Ringo lining up outside.

Eli Ricks

Alabama | Years pro: 1 | 6-2, 188

Ricks was a surprising inclusion on the Eagles’ 53-man roster a year ago and once again earned a spot this summer thanks to an encouraging training camp. He has the size and fluidity in coverage to be a valuable depth cornerback with some long-term upside, although his rookie season confirmed that he is best utilized on the outside.

Kelee Ringo

Georgia | Years pro: 1 | 6-2, 207

The jump Ringo took from his rookie season to this summer was palpable. The 2023 fourth-round pick has an unusual combination of size and speed, and he’s starting to improve his technique enough to use it effectively. The 22-year-old may begin the season as a backup, but his physical traits, youth, and trajectory may lead to him getting on the field sooner rather than later.

Isaiah Rodgers

Massachusetts | Years pro: 3 | 5-10, 170

After serving a yearlong suspension for betting, Rodgers showed in camp that he remains a starting-caliber cornerback. The former Colts defensive back took the lion’s share of the first-team reps with the Eagles defense toward the end of the summer ahead of Ringo and could be the second outside cornerback in the team’s nickel packages. He has excellent long speed and a good feel for the position. He also can return kicks.

Darius Slay

Mississippi State | Years pro: 11 | 6-0, 190

Slay has been around the league long enough to know new offensive coordinator Moore as a former teammate with the Lions. But the 33-year-old cornerback showed throughout camp that he’s still got it and earned the distinction of being the first — and only — member of the Eagles defense to pick off Hurts in the summer practices. More importantly, Slay earned his sixth Pro Bowl distinction in seven years last season. He finished the year with a team-high 15 pass breakups in addition to 57 tackles and two interceptions (one touchdown). He figures to start on the outside again in 2024, but his partner on the opposite side remains in question.

Specialists

Jake Elliott

Memphis | Years pro: 7 | 5-9, 167

Elliott enters his eighth season with a four-year, $24 million contract extension that kicks in next season. The 29-year-old kicker set a single-season franchise record with a 93.8% field goal percentage last year. He earned NFC special teams player of the week honors three times in 2023, including one nod for his game-tying 59-yard field goal against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12.

Rick Lovato

Old Dominion | Years pro: 8 | 6-2, 249

Lovato is entering his ninth season as the Eagles’ long snapper. He is not typically noticeable on field goals or punts. He probably prefers it that way.

Braden Mann

Texas A&M | Years pro: 4 | 5-11, 198

Mann didn’t have any competition in camp, following his first season with the Eagles in 2023. He averaged 49.8 yards per punt, which ranked seventh in the NFL. Mann and Cowboys punter Bryan Anger had the fewest punts (44) among regulars in 2023 (though Mann missed two games).

The Eagles went to Brazil and came back with what they were looking for — a win to open the 2024 season. From Saquon Barkley’s breakout debut to a sturdy showing from the revamped offensive line, there were encouraging signs in the team’s 34-29 victory over the Packers. But there was also plenty of room for improvement.
