54. . . . Marcus Epps, safety. 15. player

Right now, no one sees Marcus Epps as someone the Eagles feel comfortable about trotting onto the field as one of their safeties. Sure, he has a shot to make the team. The Eagles only have five true safeties on the roster (Epps, Rudy Ford, Will Parks, Rodney McLeod, and K’Von Wallace), but Epps might be the last man on that list.

Throw in the prospect of moving Jalen Mills to safety from cornerback, and Epps chances lessen even further.

Marcus Green, wide receiver. 14. player. 54. . .

At this point, it would seem like the merciful thing to do would be to release Marcus Green and allow him the opportunity to make someone else’s roster. He isn’t going to make this team.

54. . . . Casey Tucker, offensive tackle. 13. player

As wrong as this may be to say this, it’s easy to forget that Casey Tucker is even on the Eagles roster until you pull it out. That doesn’t bode well for a guy who might be the fifth or sixth-best offensive tackle on a team that has six tackles on the squad.

To make matters worse, they’re probably only going to keep four.
