Maybe the Eagles can carry him through the original 53 to put him on short-term IR. He’s the Eagles’ best kick return and he flashed home run running ability early in camp before missing time with a ribs injury. Who is coming after Howard if the Eagles cut him? He hasn’t been so amazing this summer and he even admitted no other teams were interested in him from the time he was cut last November until he re-signed with Philly in April. It would be dumb to keep him on the original 53, though, when they can very easily give him the Cre’Von LeBlanc treatment by cutting him and then bringing back a day later after they clear some spots (such as by putting someone on injured reserve, for example). The Eagles not playing Jordan Howard in the preseason finale signals they want to keep him around. Gainwell has not only earned a roster spot he belongs in the rotation as a role player.

It took Gainwell some time to look his best, which may be expected from a rookie who didn’t even play football last year (COVID-19 opt-out). Scott has earned his spot on the team with a solid summer. But can he overcome his deficiencies in the passing game? He really struggled with drops last season and in camp. Sanders is primed for a big season as a runner. RUNNING BACK: Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Kenny Gainwell, Jason Huntley (4) He could theoretically supplant Flacco if the vet has to play a lot and struggles.

3 guy in 2021 before potentially taking over as the No. He might be able to hold down the fort if Hurts has to miss a couple games but preferably he won’t play at all for the Birds in 2021. Flacco played well against backups in the preseason but didn’t look as hot against starters. Hurts has much to prove in the regular season but he’s trending in the right direction coming out of camp.
