Eagles practice vs. Browns as roster decisions loom

This is the week of joint practice with the Cleveland Browns.  Thursday, Friday… then a preseason game on Sunday.

The Eagles are down to 85 players in the preseason. These guys have been released or traded away already:

WR Josh Hammond, WR Keric Wheatfall, TE J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, OG Bill Dunkle, DT Noah Elliss, DE Ali Fayad, CB Jimmy Moreland, S Jared Mayden.

Tough business…

That leaves the following list of players who are fighting for a job; Jimmy Kempski put together this list going into the Cleveland practices:

EYE will leave it at that for now.  My dear nephew John Gonoude works in the Eagles PR department and I will attend his mother’s memorial service this week. She is my sister and was taken from us too quickly.

We’re all on the bubble, life is a longshot.
