Philadelphia, PA, August 29, 2026 — The Philadelphia Eagles are in the final stages of roster construction as they prepare to make their ultimate 53-man roster cuts, a deadline set for Sunday evening. General Manager Howie Roseman and the team’s front office face significant decisions in shaping the squad for the upcoming season.
