The Philadelphia Eagles have gone through four key practices in training camp and appear to be on the right track.
Philly's offense had a breakthrough day, with Jalen Hurts having a monster practice and the receivers showing the explosive big plays fans have waited for. Throughout training camp, the defense has performed well, with the defensive line getting most of the attention.
Now that the Eagles have gone through almost a week of training camp, how is the roster shaping up? Here's a look at the latest 53-man roster prediction after a week's work.
Philadelphia Eagles' 53-man roster prediction after first week of training camp
QB - Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, Andy Dalton
After Cole Payton's early struggles in camp, the practice squad might be best for him for this first season as he adjusts to the NFL. McKee and Dalton will continue to battle it out for the backup job with no clear winner so far.
RB - Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley
Shipley ultimately makes the team based on what he can do on special teams. He will need to improve on offense to really secure his spot on the 53-man roster.
WR - DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, Marquise Brown, Elijah Moore, Darius Cooper
Moore's breakout practice on Day 4 might make his spot on the roster more comfortable. Cooper is beating out Johnny Wilson for the moment, with multiple highlight catches at camp, and his work on special teams helps him.
TE - Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt, Eli Stowers
This should end up being the main three tight ends at the beginning of the season. Stowers might play a reduced role, given how things have been going at camp through the first week.
OL - Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, Tyler Steen, Lane Johnson, Markel Bell, Micah Morris, Fred Johnson, Drew Kendall, Myles Hinton
There might be changes because of injuries on the offensive line, but if everyone is healthy, these should be the clear-cut 10 guys who make it. Maybe one gets cut in favor of tight end Cameron Latu at some point.
DL - Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Moro Ojomo, Byron Young, Ty Robinson, Uar Bernard
Bernard had a nice practice on Day 4, recording his first sack in training camp and showing encouraging signs of improvement. He's on the bubble, but might be leaning towards making the roster at the moment.
EDGE - Jonathan Greenard, Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith, Arnold Ebiketie, A.J. Epenesa
This really shouldn't see many changes from now until the end of camp unless injuries occur. Hunt looks to be beating out Smith by a mile to be the second starting edge rusher.
LB - Zack Baun, Jihaad Campbell, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Smael Mondon Jr., Chance Campbell
Here is another position that should remain mostly untouched throughout camp. Campbell is really the only one on the bubble, but the veteran should have a good shot at making the team.
CB - Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Riq Woolen, Mac McWilliams, Jonathan Jones
Jones is the one to watch, as he is competing with Jakorian Bennett and Kelee Ringo. It appears that Ringo has dropped on the depth chart, which makes his roster status questionable. Jones and Bennett seem to be battling for the final cornerback spot for the moment.
S - Andrew Mukuba, Marcus Epps, Michael Carter II, J.T. Gray
Mukuba and Epps are the frontrunners to start at safety. Other than that, Cole Wisniewski might compete for a job, but his injury is making his chances of making the practice squad much higher.

Special Teams - Jake Elliott, Braden Mann, Rocco Underwood
Unless competition comes in, this should go untouched throughout camp. Elliott might be pushed with competition if he struggles, but Mann and Underwood are secure with their jobs.
