The Eagles are set to board a bus in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and as the team prepares to take the field at MetLife Stadium — the 53 man roster has been updated.
Jordan Howard is out with a knee injury and that means Kenneth Gainwell could see an increased role behind Miles Sanders and Boston Scott, who’ll play after missing the week of practice due to a non-covid related illness.
Here’s your update look at the 53-man roster with news and notes.
