In all probability, Matt McGloin’s brief career with the Eagles will come to an end on Saturday when the team reduces its roster to the league-mandated 53 players.
McGloin is the third quarterback on a team that is expected to keep only two – Carson Wentz and Nick Foles.
Foles has yet to make an appearance in the preseason, and probably won’t play Thursday against the Jets either.
He’s spent most of the summer sidelined by a sore elbow on his throwing arm and has practiced just twice in the last 3 ½ weeks.
He didn’t practice again on Tuesday, though the official explanation given this time was illness, rather than injury.
