Here are five players to keep an eye on during the fourth and final week of the Philadelphia Eagles preseason.

The 2018 offseason has been entirely different in comparison to previous years. While the Philadelphia Eagles are the defending Super Bowl champions, they are far from one-hundred percent healthy. Also, it would be an understatement to say that the team has been struggling throughout these past few weeks.

No worries, though as it is preseason after all. But we can’t lie when we say it was tough to know that most of the potential game one starters struggled to put up points against the Cleveland Browns in last week’s “dress rehearsal.” It was an ugly last impression before the regular season by some of the starters, but we plan to remain optimistic.

This week, the Eagles will get one last look at some of their roster hopefuls as the team must be cut down to the final 53 before next week. Final cuts time is finally here as the Eagles return to Lincoln Financial Field to take on the New York Jets for the fourth and final game of the preseason. Just like previous years, we aren’t expecting a matchup for the ages.

As we all know by now, Thursday’s game will be the last chance for some young players, and veterans to attempt to make the Eagles roster or even showcase their talents for another team that is willing to sign them. So, who should the Eagles keep an eye out for to potentially keep after this week?
