T Karim Barton | Overcame much to get to NFL, depth at OL emerged in Training Camp |

WR B.J. Cunningham | Spent better part of past three years with team, had touchdown nullified Thursday |

G/C Julian Vandervelde | Back injury limited playing time in Training Camp. |

As it currently stands, the Eagles have 75 players on the roster. That number will be trimmed to 53 on Saturday at 4 PM. Head coach Chip Kelly explained on Saturday that the team wants to give the players the best possible chance to land on other rosters before the final week of the preseason.
