No punter or punt returner, four WRs and four TEs, seven CBs but three LBs…. the Eagles Week 1 53 man roster is weird. But not that weird.
Embrace the weirdness
Teams are realizing that roster construction was something done out of habit, not necessity. Last year the Cowboys opened the season with Dak Prescott as their only QB on the active roster, QB2 Cooper Rush started off on the practice squad. The Patriots initially had Mac Jones as their only QB on the 53 before signing Matt Corral, they also have only two TEs and two RBs on their 53.
