Eagles' updated 90-man roster with uniform numbers after a handful of personnel changes
Here's an overview of the Philadelphia Eagles' 90-man roster ahead of Wednesday's first training camp practice after a handful of moves and personnel changes Philadelphia has moved past Super Bowl 59 and is locked in on having a singular focus on the 2025 NFL regular season. Howie Roseman orchestrated another roster makeover in free agency, the 10-player NFL Draft, and several talented undrafted free agents. The Organized Team Activities and the Mandatory Minicamp have now concluded, and the Philadelphia Eagles have returned to the NovaCare Complex. Veterans reported on Tuesday, July 22, and the first practice will kick off in about an hour. The Birds have made a handful of roster moves since reporting to the NovaCare Complex. On report day for Training Camp, the Eagles signed defensive end Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and defensive tackle Jacob Sykes. To make room on the roster, they waived defensive end K.J. Henry and running back Lew Nichols. With the first practice scheduled for Wednesday, here's an overview of the Philadelphia Eagles' 90-man roster by jersey number, with training camp kicking off. QB --4 Jalen Hurts #1 Tanner McKee #16 Dorian Thompson-Robinson #14 Kyle McCord- Drafted Rookie #19 Hurts is the reigning Super Bowl MVP, and he'll enter 2025 with his fourth offensive coordinator in five years with the Eagles. After Kenny Pickett was traded to Cleveland, Tanner McKee became the unquestioned backup quarterback. At the same time, Dorian Thompson-Robinson offered an athletic option at No. 3. Things got even more interesting after Howie Roseman drafted Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord with pick No. 181 in the sixth round. The St. Joe's Prep star attended Ohio State before transferring and heading to Syracuse, and he clearly created separation between himself and Thompson-Robinson. RB --6 Saquon Barkley #26 A.J. Dillon #29 Will Shipley #28 Keilan Robinson #35 ShunDerrick Powell (undrafted rookie) #39 Montrell Johnson Jr. (undrafted rookie) #34 Barkley earned NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors from the Associated Press and finished as a finalist for Most Valuable Player in his debut with the Eagles. Philadelphia signed former Packers running back A.J. Dillon to a one-year deal. Dillon sat out 2024 but offers a physical contrast to Barkley's elite athleticism. Will Shipley continues to improve, and he'll be the third running back. Keilan Robinson appeared in six games in his rookie season, seeing most of his action on special teams. Philadelphia added two undrafted rookies in Montrell Johnson Jr. (Florida) and ShunDerrick Powell (Central Arkansas). Johnson, a 5-foot-11-inch, 216-pound running back, wrapped up an impressive college career with over 3,000 rushing yards and 33 rushing touchdowns. Known for his powerful running style, big-play ability, and reliable hands out of the backfield, Johnson became a solid running back for the Gators after transferring from Louisiana. A former Sun Belt Freshman of the Year and an East-West Shrine Bowl participant, Johnson made an impact everywhere he played. Powell rushed for over 4,000 yards in his collegiate career with 42 total touchdowns. He had eight 100-yard games in 2024. The two-time FCS All-American is a three-down running back and potential special-teams standout. FB -1 Ben VanSumeren #43 The former Michigan State linebacker is a special-teams standout who will transition full-time to the fullback position. WR --12 A.J. Brown #11 Elijah Cooks #86 Jahan Dotson #2 Danny Gray #80 Terrace Marshall Jr. #46 Ainias Smith #82 DeVonta Smith #6 Johnny Wilson #89 Avery Williams #18 Darius Cooper (undrafted rookie) #42 Taylor Morin (undrafted rookie) #45 Giles Jackson (Tryout) #41 A.J. Brown led the team with 1,079 receiving yards in 2024. He also ranked 1st in receiving average (16.1) (min. 60 catches) and 3rd in receiving yards per game (83.0) (min. 13 games), behind Ja'Marr Chase (100.5) and Justin Jefferson (90.2). DeVonta Smith posted a career-high 8 TDs in the regular season and hauled in a 46-yard TD in Super Bowl LIX. During the run to the Super Bowl, he became the franchise's all-time leader in postseason receiving yards (595). Dotson had his fifth-year option declined after catching 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards in 17 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024, following his acquisition in a trade from Washington. He also rushed once for 13 yards. Despite his struggles, Dotson played 649 offensive snaps during the regular season for Philadelphia, working as a No. 3 receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Terrace Marshall was signed to a one-year deal, offering elite athleticism from the slot. TE --7 Dallas Goedert #88 Grant Calcaterra #81 Kylen Granson #83 Harrison Bryant #85 EJ Jenkins #84 Nick Muse #87 Cameron Latu #49 Dallas Goedert is back on a restructured deal, and it wasn't a rough decision after the veteran (team-record 52 career playoff catches) led the Eagles in receptions (17) and receiving yards (215) in the postseason. Philadelphia has Grant Calcaterra as the backup after signing Kylen Granson and Harrison Bryant. OL --17 Jordan Mailata #68 Landon Dickerson #69 Cam Jurgens #51 Kenyon Green #76 Lane Johnson #65 Tyler Steen #56 Brett Toth #64 Darian Kinnard #72 Laekin Vakalahi -Roster Exempt #67 Kendall Lamm #74 Trevor Keegan #77 Matt Pryor #79 Drew Kendall- Drafted Rookie #66 Myles Hinton-Drafted Rookie #78 Cameron Williams- Drafted Rookie #73 Hollin Pierce- (Undrafted rookie) #63 Marcus Tate-Undrafted rookie) #75 According to PFF, Jordan Mailata (96.9) led the entire NFL in offensive and run-blocking grades (94.9). In addition, Mailata ranked 2nd in the NFL with a 91.7 pass-blocking grade, behind Tristan Wirfs (93.7). The Eagles acquired Kenyon Green from the Texans for C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and while he's a former first-round pick, the former Texas A&M star was the 76th highest-graded guard in the NFL out of 77 candidates, according to PFF. Former Alabama offensive tackle and third-round pick Tyler Steen was slightly better, landing at 75th with a 40.7 grade from PFF. There will be competition for this spot, and it's a noticeable downgrade after Mekhi Becton's exit. Lane Johnson ranked 1st among NFL RTs in PFF pass-blocking grade (88.1), pressure percentage (2.2%), and knockdown percentage (0.2%). He allowed zero sacks and 1 QB hit in 451 pass-blocking snaps. The Eagles added more depth in the draft by selecting Drew Kendall, Myles Hinton, and Cameron Williams. DT -- 9 Byron Young #94 Moro Ojomo #97 Gabe Hall #96 Jordan Davis #90 Jalen Carter #98 Thomas Booker #59 Ty Robinson -Drafted Rookie #95 Jacob Sykes Joe Evans During the regular season, Jalen Carter was 4th among interior DL with an 81.5 PFF pass-rush grade, behind Chris Jones (91.0), Cameron Heyward (87.2), and Jeffery Simmons (81.6) in that category. Davis logged 27 tackles (15 solo), one sack, and two passes defended while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2024. He added six tackles (four solo), including two sacks and one pass defense across four playoff appearances. Davis started every regular-season game for the second year in a row, but he logged 122 fewer defensive snaps and ceded snaps to second-year defensive lineman Moro Ojomo. Davis logged 27 tackles (15 solo), one sack, and two passes defended while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2024. He added six tackles (four solo), including two sacks and one pass defense across four playoff appearances. Ojomo finished the 2024 season with 20 tackles (six solo) in 17 regular-season games. Ojomo saw a significant increase in workload in his second season with the Eagles, playing 370 defensive snaps and 70 special teams snaps while appearing in all 17 of the team's regular-season games. Ojomo will be a starter, following Milton Williams' departure. Philadelphia selected Nebraska's Ty Brown in the fourth round for depth and physicality. Edge Rusher -8 Ogbonnia Okoronkwo Jalyx Hunt #58 Patrick Johnson #48 Azeez Ojulari #13 Nolan Smith Jr. #3 Josh Uche #0 Ochaun Mathis #45 Antwaun Powell-Ryland Jr. -Drafted Rookie #52 Philadelphia created salary cap space and competition with the trade of Bryce Huff to the 49ers for a mid-round pick in 2026. We're predicting that Hunt will get the first shot at replacing Josh Sweat, despite Josh Uche being signed. Hunt finished the 2024 season with 21 total tackles (12 solo), including 1.5 sacks, while adding one pass defended and two forced fumbles over 16 regular-season games. Former Giants pass rusher Azeez Ojulari is another explosive player to watch. Philadelphia drafted All-American pass rusher Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the sixth round. LB -- 7 Zack Baun #53 Nakobe Dean #17 Dallas Gant #57 Jeremiah Trotter Jr. #54 Jihaad Campbell-Drafted Rookie #30 Smael Mondon Jr. -Drafted Rookie #42 Lance Dixon - (undrafted rookie) #41 Baun is a Defensive Player of the Year finalist and All-Pro, while Trotter Jr. should get the first shot at replacing the injured Nakobe Dean. Campbell is the first-round pick, but won't be available until August. Philadelphia selected Smael Mondon Jr. in the fifth round, and he saw first-team snaps during OTAs. CB -- 11 A.J. Woods #39 Quinyon Mitchell #27 Cooper DeJean #33 Tariq Castro-Fields #46 Kelee Ringo #7 Eli Ricks #23 Parry Nickerson #34 Adoree' Jackson #8 Mac McWilliams -- Drafted Rookie #22 Brandon Johnson -(Undrafted rookie) #35 B.J. Mayes - (undrafted rookie) #49 Kelee Ringo should get the first opportunity to replace the departed Darius Slay, while Adoree Jackson has history as a starting cornerback in the NFC East. Mitchell and DeJean are stars and should be even more productive in 2025. Philadelphia drafted Mac McWilliams and signed two undrafted rookies. S -- 7 Lewis Cine #38 Reed Blankenship #32 Andre Sam #31 Tristin McCollum #36 Sydney Brown #21 Andrew Mukuba- (Unsigned Rookie) #24 Maxen Hook -(Undrafted rookie) #37 Specialist --3 Jake Elliott #4 Braden Mann #10 Charley Hughlett #47

After Philadelphia traded Kenny Pickett to Cleveland, Tanner McKee became the unquestioned backup quarterback. Dorian Thompson-Robinson offers an athletic option, but he'll likely be the odd man out after Howie Roseman drafted Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord with pick No. 181 in the sixth round. The St. Joe's Prep star attended Ohio State before transferring and heading to Syracuse, and he created separation between himself and Thompson-Robinson.

Will Shipley continues to improve, and he'll be the third running back. Keilan Robinson appeared in six games in his rookie season, seeing most of his action on special teams. Philadelphia added two undrafted rookies in Montrell Johnson Jr. (Florida) and ShunDerrick Powell (Central Arkansas). Johnson, a 5-foot-11-inch, 216-pound running back, wrapped up an impressive college career with over 3,000 rushing yards and 33 rushing touchdowns. Known for his powerful running style, big-play ability, and reliable hands out of the backfield, Johnson became a solid running back for the Gators after transferring from Louisiana. A former Sun Belt Freshman of the Year and an East-West Shrine Bowl participant, Johnson made an impact everywhere he played. Powell rushed for over 4,000 yards in his collegiate career with 42 total touchdowns. He had eight 100-yard games in 2024. The two-time FCS All-American is a three-down running back and potential special-teams standout.

Brown and DeVonta Smith are obvious roster spots. Jahan Dotson had his fifth-year option declined after catching 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards in 17 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024, following his acquisition in a trade from the Washington Football Team. He also rushed once for 13 yards. Despite his struggles, Dotson played 649 offensive snaps during the regular season for Philadelphia, working as a No. 3 receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Danny Gray was the off-season standout and will battle Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith for a roster spot. Terrace Marshall was signed to a one-year deal, offering elite athleticism from the slot, but a roster spot could be difficult.

Stock up or Stock Down: How the Eagles offense changed this offseason
With the changes at running back, offensive guard and offensive coordinator, we're doing a stock report for Kevin Patullo's retooled offense in Philadelphia Philadelphia has moved past Super Bowl 59 and is locked in on having a singular focus on the 2025 NFL regular season. Howie Roseman orchestrated another roster makeover in free agency, the 10-player NFL Draft, and several talented undrafted free agents. The Organized Team Activities and now the Mandatory Minicamp have concluded, and Philadelphia is halfway through a five-week break before returning to the NovaCare Complex. Training Camp begins in late July, with July 22 as the report day, followed by a practice on July 23. Although a surprise move or two could still be on the way, the majority of the work has been completed. After watching 12 players depart in free agency, Roseman added two dynamic SEC linebackers, an All-American pass rusher, three offensive linemen, and an accomplished quarterback from Philadelphia. With the changes at running back, offensive guard, and offensive coordinator, we're doing a stock report for Kevin Patullo's retooled offense in Philadelphia. QB 2024:Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, Kenny Pickett 2025: Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, Kyle McCord, Dorian Thompson-Robinson Hurts is the reigning Super Bowl MVP, and he'll enter 2025 with his fourth offensive coordinator in five years with the Eagles. After Kenny Pickett was traded to Cleveland, Tanner McKee became the unquestioned backup quarterback. At the same time, Dorian Thompson-Robinson offered an athletic option at No. 3. Things got even more interesting after Howie Roseman drafted Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord with pick No. 181 in the sixth round. The St. Joe's Prep star attended Ohio State before transferring and heading to Syracuse, and he clearly created separation between himself and Thompson-Robinson. Stock up RB 2024: Saquon Barkley, Kenneth Gainwell, Will Shipley 2025: Saquon Barkley, A.J. Dillon, Will Shipley, Lew Nichols, Keilan Robinson, ShunDerrick Powell (undrafted rookie), Montrell Johnson Jr. (undrafted rookie), Ben VanSumeren (Fullback) Barkley earned NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors from the Associated Press and finished as a finalist for Most Valuable Player in his debut with the Eagles. Philadelphia signed former Packers running back A.J. Dillon to a one-year deal. Dillon sat out 2024 but offers a physical contrast to Barkley's elite athleticism. Will Shipley continues to improve, and he'll be the third running back. Keilan Robinson appeared in six games in his rookie season, seeing most of his action on special teams. Philadelphia added two undrafted rookies in Montrell Johnson Jr. (Florida) and ShunDerrick Powell (Central Arkansas). Johnson, a 5-foot-11-inch, 216-pound running back, wrapped up an impressive college career with over 3,000 rushing yards and 33 rushing touchdowns. Known for his powerful running style, big-play ability, and reliable hands out of the backfield, Johnson became a solid running back for the Gators after transferring from Louisiana. A former Sun Belt Freshman of the Year and an East-West Shrine Bowl participant, Johnson made an impact everywhere he played. Powell rushed for over 4,000 yards in his collegiate career with 42 total touchdowns. He had eight 100-yard games in 2024. The two-time FCS All-American is a three-down running back and potential special-teams standout. The stock is the same WR 2024: A.J. Brown, Britain Covey, Jahan Dotson, DeVonta Smith, Johnny Wilson 2025: A.J. Brown, Elijah Cooks, Jahan Dotson, Danny Gray, Terrace Marshall Jr., Ainias Smith, DeVonta Smith, Johnny Wilson, Avery Williams, Darius Cooper (undrafted rookie), Taylor Morin (undrafted rookie, Giles Jackson (Tryout) A.J. Brown led the team with 1,079 receiving yards in 2024. He also ranked 1st in receiving average (16.1) (min. 60 catches) and 3rd in receiving yards per game (83.0) (min. 13 games), behind Ja'Marr Chase (100.5) and Justin Jefferson (90.2). DeVonta Smith posted a career-high 8 TDs in the regular season and hauled in a 46-yard TD in Super Bowl LIX. During the run to the Super Bowl, he became the franchise's all-time leader in postseason receiving yards (595). Dotson had his fifth-year option declined after catching 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards in 17 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024, following his acquisition in a trade from Washington. He also rushed once for 13 yards. Despite his struggles, Dotson played 649 offensive snaps during the regular season for Philadelphia, working as a No. 3 receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Terrace Marshall was signed to a one-year deal, offering elite athleticism from the slot. Stock up TE 2024: Grant Calcaterra, Dallas Goedert 2025: Grant Calcaterra, Dallas Goedert, Kylen Gransen, Harrison Bryant, E.J. Jenkins, Nick Muse, Cameron Latu Dallas Goedert is back on a restructured deal, and it wasn't a rough decision after the veteran (team-record 52 career playoff catches) led the Eagles in receptions (17) and receiving yards (215) in the postseason.
