4 roster cuts Philadelphia Eagles should make following 2019 preseason
By Dan Parzych
1. Josh Adams, Wendell Smallwood
Due to all of the injuries to numerous players last season, running back was one of the major areas of weakness last year, although there is hope the Eagles will get back on the right track in 2019.
Not only are Darren Sproles and Corey Clement both expected to survive roster cuts, but Philadelphia has high expectations for their new dynamic duo at running back in Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders.
While acquiring Howard from the Chicago Bears seemed like an easy decision in the offseason, the Eagles hope Sanders turns out to be an absolute steal from the draft when looking at his accomplishments from his time at Penn State.
If all goes according to plan, Philadelphia’s ground game will play a huge part in helping the offense finish near the top of the league during the 2019 season.
But unfortunately for Josh Adams and Wendell Smallwood, with the Eagles making it seem like the other four running backs are locks, these two could be looking for new teams to play for.
Philadelphia deserves credit for giving both Adams and Smallwood plenty of opportunities to prove themselves worthy of a roster spot, mainly because it’s tough to believe they’ve managed to last thing long to begin with.
