LIKELY TO GET CUT:

QB - MATT McGLOIN

When Nick Foles went down with elbow soreness early in training camp, Matt McGloin inherited both his snaps as well as those that would typically be allocated for the No. 3 quarterback both in training camp practices and preseason games.

However, McGloin has been less than stellar, frequently holding onto the football too long in the pocket and subpar arm strength.

In all likelihood, McGoin will remain a camp arm until final cuts are made Sept. 2, unless Foles' injury proves to be more significant than he or the team is letting on. Assuming Foles will be ready for the regular season, the Eagles will likely move on from McGloin and try to put Dane Evans onto the practice squad.

CB/S - COREY GRAHAM

Prior to trading for Ronald Darby, the Eagles brought in safety/cornerback Corey Graham in an attempt to stabilize the cornerback position.

However, Graham hasn't done anything to standout at either cornerback or safety.

In all likelihood, Terrence Brooks and Chris Maragos both are more likely to make the 53-man roster than Graham.

IN A POSITION BATTLE:

RB - LeGARRETTE BLOUNT

Despite the fact that he has opened both preseason games atop the depth chart and been given the bulk of the snaps and carries with the first-team offense, it wouldn't be surprising to see LeGarrette Blount among the Eagles' cuts despite signing as a free agent back in May.

Blount seems best served as a goal line and short-yardage back in this offense, but has been less than inspiring in the first two preseason games in which he registered just nine carries for 17 yards.

The 30-year-old has struggled to get to the corner on off-tackle runs and it appears as though the workload of last season's 299 carries with the New England Patriots last season.

In Doug Pederson's offense, running backs are asked to catch the ball out of the backfield and run off tackle more often than not, neither of which are the strengths of Blount's game.

RB - WENDELL SMALLWOOD

Second-year running back Wendell Smallwood missed both of the Eagles' preseason games, after showing himself as the team's most dominant back throughout training camp.

Smallwood seems best suited to be the Eagles' lead running back in a backfield by committee, but health concerns and the strong play of rookie free agent Corey Clement against the Bills could lead to this being a position battle to watch over the final two preseason games.

If the Eagles are committed to Blount being on the roster because of his prowess down along the goal line and what he brings to the table in short-yardage situations, Smallwood might have to outplay Clement to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

CB - PATRICK ROBINSON

When the Eagles traded for Ronald Darby, the 23-year-old walked into Robinson's job as the starting outside cornerback opposite Jalen Mills.

Robinson had a disappointing start to training camp when he surrendered several deep balls down the field, and his path to the 53-man roster on Week 1 likely hinges on him beating out someone such as Aaron Grymes for the nickel job, but Grymes seems better fit for that role.

MIGHT NEED TO STEP UP TO SAVE HIS JOB

DE VINNY CURRY

Through two preseason games, Vinny Curry hasn't registered a tackle much less a sack or quarterback hurry, while rookie first-round pick Derek Barnett collected two sacks in h is first two games against the Packers and Bills.

Curry's disappointing summer could be mitigated by Barnett's strong first impression as well as depth provided by the likes of veterans Chris Long and Steven Means if the Eagles are looking to move on from the 29-year-old after signing him to a five-year extension last spring.

While the Eagles would not save anything against the cap by releasing Curry, trying to showcase him for a trade would free up $7 million in cap space if he's traded, which could be an option for the Eagles if they believe that Barnett is ready to take on significant snaps with the first-team defense.
