5 Eagles players who are on the roster's chopping block following 2026 NFL Draft

Not to mention, the Eagles could juggle an extra wide receiver onto the active roster if they move off of A.J. Brown in a post-June 1 trade. That may take away a tight end spot for them when it comes to the roster bubble entering the season opener.

Carson Steele, Running Back/Fullback

Steele is a bit of a tough projection, since he could play a fullback role for the team’s offense.

That being said, I am not sure how much OC Sean Mannion would value that, especially since they have tight end depth with Stowers and veteran Johnny Mundt along the depth chart now. Steele, who signed following the season, could be an odd man out in that group.

Mac McWilliams, Defensive Back

McWilliams is a depth defensive back, who usually projects to play outside CB for Philly. He was the 145th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, so it may be tough for the Eagles to take that on the chin already.

That being said, they brought in Riq Woolen to start alongside Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. That pushes some other players down the depth chart, and McWilliams may lose his job to Jakorian Bennett and Kelee Ringo.

Ta’Quon Graham, Defensive Tackle

The Eagles weren’t active in adding interior DL talent this offseason, but they already had some depth and versatility there.

Ty Robinson and Byron Young feel like better bets to make the active roster, and a player like rookie Uar Bernard may play his way into a backup role during training camp or the preseason due to his uncanny blend of athleticism and size.
