# Jeff Kerr: In his second Eagles 53-man roster projection nine practices into training camp, Kerr names 35 roster locks and eight more players likely to make the team, plus depth-chart calls at backup quarterback, RB3, No. 3 guard and backup center. **Claimed:** Aug 11, 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/eagles-training-camp-roster-2-0-how-many-spots-are-available-and-who-s-on-the-bubble-01kzpxkq1k2w 48 checkable claims — 44 roster spot calls and 4 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 47 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 38 of 48 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 89.5 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 2 and below it on 1. > He has the edge over McKee for the backup quarterback spot, but McKee is also on track to make the roster (assuming he doesn't get traded). *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
