Josh Huff

It’s do or die time for Huff.

Aside from the occasional flash of efficiency, Huff has not been a reliable receiver and really needs to prove himself to earn a roster spot this season.

While Huff is a good return man, he is not the Eagles’ only special teams ace now that Kenjon Barner has caught the eye of Eagles coaches and fans alike. Cutting Huff to make room for a more reliable receiver (like Paul Turner) is a very real possibility and his days as an Eagle could be numbered if he doesn’t begin to show some consistency as a pass-catcher.

Saturday is a big day for Huff. If he can show off the explosiveness that he’s teased with in the past, he’ll be safe. If not, however, he could be gone.
