The Eagles certainly treated the preseason games as meaningless as evidenced by their dreadful performance Saturday night in the finale.
But for those fighting for roster spots, the Eagles’ 48-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night might have meant everything.
If that’s the case, some recent draft picks might have played themselves off the 53-man roster. That includes both quarterbacks vying for the third QB spot behind starter Jalen Hurts and backup Gardner Minshew.
Yes, it was that bad.
The fates of those roster-bubble players depend on how highly the Eagles’ brass values the preseason games. And it’s very likely that those games are valued highly considering that most of the starters had just six plays total in the three games.
