PHILADELPHIA, PA - The Eagles unveiled a star-heavy 53 that features Saquon Barkley headlining a deep backfield and an 11-man offensive line, then followed with a steady stream of practice-squad signings and an active-roster add at guard.
The biggest decisions

Three-QB setup (Jalen Hurts, Sam Howell, Tanner McKee).
-
Barkley, A.J. Dillon, and rookie Will Shipley give the backfield varied styles; Ben VanSumeren listed as FB.

What it means
The Eagles kept premium numbers at OL and on the edge, signaling trench control and waves of pass-rushers. Barkley's presence plus Dillon/Shipley lets Kellen Moore toggle between power and spread looks. The secondary is deep with press corners and versatile safeties-useful in Vic Fangio's mix-and-match coverages. Expect early practice-squad churn as injuries heal and waiver activity shakes out.
