A week ago, I gave an overview of the backup safety position battle on the Philadelphia Eagles, suggesting who I thought was in the lead for the third spot in the group and who might be on the outside looking in. After one preseason game though, the battle was totally blown open.
After originally listing Ed Reynolds, the Eagles’ fifth round pick in 2014, as the least likely safety to end up making the team. He disappointed last year and didn’t even make the 53-man roster despite just being drafted, finding himself on the team’s practice squad.
