The Philadelphia Eagles have one final preseason game to get things figured out before the 53-man roster needs to be finalized to officially end training camp.
Philly will face the Cincinnati Bengals in the preseason finale with multiple jobs on the line. Plenty of storylines will keep fans engaged throughout the contest.
Specifically, the Eagles have four questions going into the game that need to be answered once it concludes. Here are the questions that must be answered when the clock hits zero.
Biggest questions Eagles need to answer in preseason finale against Bengals
Who is the Eagles' backup quarterback once and for all?
The battle between Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee has been ongoing for the last five weeks, with no clarity on who is winning the job. Most Eagles fans would say McKee has outplayed Dalton based on the preseason games, but head coach Nick Sirianni won't commit to naming a backup. After the game, there should be much more clarity on who will win the job and what happens to everyone else.
Did Kelee Ringo and Mac McWilliams do enough to justify making the 53-man roster?
It feels like Ringo and McWilliams could still make the roster no matter what, but they haven't played like it. Both have allowed too many completions for Eagles fans' taste. They need to step up and have a big game to lock in their spots on the roster, as they could be on the chopping block if they have another bad performance.
What about the futures of Uar Bernard and Joshua Weru after three football games?
Bernard and Weru will have had three total football games under their belts in their entire lives. Weru has shown a bit more with his sack in the preseason loss to the New England Patriots, but Bernard is showing improvement himself. Many have to wonder whether the two have shown enough potential for the Eagles to be patient and include them on the roster, or take their chances with them on the waiver wire.

Do the Eagles have enough to see to include six receivers on the roster?
The biggest factor in this question is factoring in Elijah Moore and how he plays in this game. It feels like DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks, Darius Cooper, and Hollywood Brown are the locks to make the roster. If Moore plays well in this game, it might be hard to ignore him making the team. They might even consider keeping Britain Covey as a sixth receiver as well if they need a returner.
