The Philadelphia Eagles have finalized their initial 53-man roster, resulting in a few unexpected decisions.

Among the notable moves, James Bradberry has been retained despite challenges during training camp. The Eagles lack depth at safety but appreciate his experience.

Conversely, sixth-round draft pick Dylan McMahon has been waived, marking the team's first draft cut since 2021, leaving them without a backup center.

Ainias Smith, a fifth-round pick, will start the season on injured reserve due to injury issues despite showing promise towards the end of camp.
