The 2014 Philadelphia Eagles have showcased their talent in two preseason games so far, both resulting in losses. While the score of a game during preseason is perhaps not nearly as important as score during the regular season, one mission remains at the forefront: who deserves to make the team.
Each year, NFL teams see two important dates in terms of their rosters: the 75-man limit, and the final 53-man limit. In just over a week (Aug 26), teams will be required to submit 75-man rosters by 4 p.m. eastern time. Here’s a look into my prediction of who will stick around following the first round of roster cuts as the Eagles go from 90 to 75.

Quarterback: Foles, N., Sanchez, M., Barkley, M., Kinne, G.J.
Running Back: McCoy, L., Sproles, D., Polk, C., Josey, H., Fluellen, D.
