3 Eagles Whose Jobs Are on the Line in Preseason Opener

3. Tyree Jackson

Tyree Jackson had a lot of believers when he switched from quarterback to tight end during Philly’s 2021 offseason.

Much to his dismay, Jackson changing positions didn’t exactly benefit his career. He’s suited up in 14 games (three starts) over the last two seasons, hauling in 3-of-7 targets for 22 yards and a touchdown.

After not getting targeted once on 34 snaps last year, it’s hard imagining Jackson stealing one of the TE jobs again. Dallas Goedert is already the de facto No. 1 tight end while Jack Stoll played all 17 games (11 starts) in 2022.

On top of that, the Eagles also signed Dan Arnold, who has 59 games of experience under his belt.

Jackson likely is who he is at this point, which is a perennial reserve/practice squad player. He had his opportunity to make an impact in the last two seasons and failed. Unless he has the performance of a lifetime against the Ravens, chances are he won’t have a spot on the 53-man roster.
