The Philadelphia Eagles are undefeated in the preseason. That doesn't matter for much but it still gives them all a little boost of confidence, especially after they won in come-from-behind fashion this Thursday night.

Baltimore had a 13-6 lead with just over 10 minutes to play but Tanner McKee led the Eagles on a seven-play, 70-yard drive to take the lead. Running back Kendall Mitlon ran it in from one-yard out to make it 13-12 and McKee hit rookie receiver Ainias Smith on a two-point conversion for the lead. The defense held from there and Philly left Gillette Stadium with the 'W'.

They'll now head home for their lone preseason game at Lincoln Financial Field, which will be against the Minnesota Vikings. There will be no shortage of storylines to follow but the primary focus will be roster spots. And these six players might be on the bubble heading into this game.

6. John Ross, Wide Receiver

Through two games, John Ross has four receptions for 37 yards. Not terrible numbers but the speedy wideout isn't stretching the field either. Although, that could fall on the quarterback as well.

In their win over New England, Ross had to leave the game and it was later confirmed he had a concussion. That could limit the chances he has to make an impact on this roster and given the depth around him - including rookie Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith - Ross could be in danger.

It was always going to be tough for him to make the roster since he hasn't played in the league since 2021 but the added rookies coupled with his concussion might be too much to overcome.
