# Jeff Kerr: Kerr's updated 53-man roster projection for the Eagles after eight training camp practices, naming which players make the team at each position plus depth-chart placements like Wicks as WR2, Mundt as TE2, Kendall as third guard, Bell as third tackle, and Epps/Carter battling to start at safety. **Claimed:** Aug 9, 2026 **Pundit:** Jeff Kerr — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jeff-kerr **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/eagles/onsi/updated-eagles-53-man-roster-projection-2-0-wr-has-significantly-different-outlook-01kzk3mds1cy 58 checkable claims — 53 roster spot calls and 5 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 54 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 3. > The Eagles may have found a gem in Wicks, and he'll be the WR2 in Week 1. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jonathan Greenard to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Jonathan Greenard, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Byron Young to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Byron Young, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Michael Carter II to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Michael Carter II, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jake Elliott to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Jake Elliott, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jordan Davis to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Jordan Davis, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Willie Lampkin to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Willie Lampkin, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Andrew Mukuba to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Andrew Mukuba, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rocco Underwood to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Rocco Underwood, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tanner McKee to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Tanner McKee, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Markel Bell to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Markel Bell, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Braden Mann to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Braden Mann, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dontayvion Wicks to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Dontayvion Wicks, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Smael Mondon Jr. to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Smael Mondon Jr., Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chance Campbell to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Chance Campbell, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Drew Kendall to be 3rd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Drew Kendall, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jihaad Campbell to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jihaad Campbell, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cooper DeJean to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Cooper DeJean, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Will Shipley to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Will Shipley, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Nolan Smith to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Nolan Smith, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **A.J.
