After two preseason games and two other guesses, here’s ITI’s third stab at predicting the Philadelphia Eagles final 53-man roster.

Two games are gone in 2019’s version of the NFL preseason. The Philadelphia Eagles still have a ton of work to do. Their next preseason game is a home date where they’ll meet the Baltimore Ravens. The final game of that same schedule will require them to travel to a venue they visit once yearly, MetLife Stadium.

This time it won’t be the New York Giants on the other sideline, that day will come two days before New Year’s Eve. Philly’s final preseason game will give us a look at the New York Jets who are busy putting together a roster of their own, one that includes Sam Darnold and Le’Veon Bell (don’t expect to see them in that game though).

After that, there will be nothing else to do but put together the Eagles final 53-man roster. This will be the roster that they’ll take into the regular season with the hope that they’ll travel deep into the playoffs. This will be the roster they’ll hope is able to bring a second Lombardi Trophy to the ‘City of Brotherly Love’.

Here’s a theory. ITI’s third, on how that roster shapes up.
