The Eagles got their roster down to 53 on Saturday, with some surprise cuts and few that seemed inevitable. Ultimately the team released defensive end Steven Means and running back Donnel Pumphrey, but ended up keeping Jordan Mailata.
It was a big day for the team as they settle in to game week, heading into the 2018 season opener against Atlanta. Eagles’ GM Howie Roseman talked about the final roster and getting ready for their first season as reigning Super Bowl Champions.
He opened his press conference by thanking Brent Celek for everything he’s done for the organization, and emphasized what Jeff Lurie had said, that the tight end is always welcome back and contribute whenever he’d like.
