Eagles updated 53-man roster vs. Vikings: News and notes for Week 2

NFL rosters are always fluid, and the Eagles have had some changes ahead of Thursday night’s Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

In the season opener, punter Arryn Siposs was elevated from the practice squad, and the 53-man roster will constantly change.

Philadelphia will be without four key starters, and it’s a prime opportunity for Nicholas Morrow, Christian Elliss, Rashaad Penny, Sydney Brown, and others to carve out a role ahead of Week 3.

With kickoff just hours away, here’s an updated 53-man roster by jersey number.
