EAGLES NEWS

The Eagles made their final roster cuts today and there were a few interesting final cuts. RB Eldra Buckley made the team, beating out Lorenzo Booker for the 3rd and final slot at running back. WR Brandon Gibson did make the team as did perhaps a bit surprisingly Reggie Brown. It is possible though that he is just trade bait. A.J Feeley remains on the roster as the 3rd string QB for now, as Micheal Vick is not permitted to play until week 3 and didn't yet look like he was ready to play QB again during the preseason. Feeley too could be trade bait. Since he won't play until week 3 Vick was put on exempt status meaning he is not allowed to practice with the team until he is added to the active roster. In the meantime a roster spot will left open for him. Tony Curtis did make the team and will be Brent Celek's backup and apparently only backup, as Matt Schobel was cut from the team, and rookie tight end Rob Myers will probably be added to the practice squad. The last defensive lineman to make the team was not surprisingly Jason Babin, leaving Dan Klecko and Bryan Smith out in the cold. The draft pick Moise Fokou did make the team as well as one the final linebackers to make the squad, along with Tracy white. Lastly in perhaps the biggest surprise Dmitri Patterson took the last CB spot ahead last year's draft pick Jack Ikegwuono. Patterson got the spot thanks to his superb special teams skills. Ikegwuono will also probably be on the practice squad and perhaps next year with his knee one year healthier he'll make the team.
