News from camp: Eagles release depth chart prior to first preseason game
The base set:
Quarterback: This one won’t change much throughout camp.
- QB1: Carson Wentz (There’s no doubt about this one)
- QB2: Nick Foles
- QB3: Matt McGloin
- QB4: Dane Evans
Running back: We expect a lot of two-back sets. This is just where the team sees the entire grouping.
- RB1: LeGarrette Blount
- RB2: Darren Sproles
- RB3: Wendell Smallwood
- RB4: Donnel Pumphrey
- RB5: Byron Marshall
- RB6: Corey Clement
- RB7: Ryan Mathews
Wide receiver (left side): The wide receiver corps will be a competition to pay attention to all preseason.
- WR1: Alshon Jeffery
- WR2: Marcus Johnson (You see him climbing the board don’t you?)
- WR3: Shelton Gibson (He’s still off to a slow start, but the hope is he can turn it around)
Wide receiver (right side):
- WR1: Torrey Smith
- WR2: Mack Hollins
- WR3: David Watford
Wide receiver (the reserves):
- WR7: Jordan Matthews
- WR8: Nelson Agholor
- WR9: Bryce Treggs
- WR10: Greg Ward Jr.
- WR11: Paul Turner
Tight end:
- TE1: Zach Ertz
- TE2: Brent Celek
- TE3: Trey Burton
- TE4: Billy Brown
- TE5: Anthony Denham
- TE6: Adam Zaruba
ITI’s analysis: There are no major surprises on this list. Some have Nelson Agholor sightly ahead of Jordan Matthews, but that isn’t a big deal.
