Eagles to practice with open roster spot, only 7 defensive backs

The Eagles will practice Wednesday without cornerback Ronald Darby, safety Rodney McLeod, and cornerback/safety Jaylen Watkins — leaving them with only seven healthy defensive backs on the 53-man roster. It’s unlikely any of the injured players will be back for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, making a roster move likely.

Yet the Eagles still haven’t filled an open spot on their roster.

“We haven’t made any decisions,” coach Doug Pederson said. “Obviously going to keep our eyes open. But we haven’t made any decisions yet.”

Look for the Eagles to fill that spot in the next 24 hours to get him set for Thursday’s practice.
