Rasul Douglas named the Eagles veteran on the roster bubble for the 2020 NFL season

Every NFL training camp is filled with guys sitting on the roster bubble but the 2020 version will be quite different from the landscape altered amid the coronavirus pandemic, and teams across the league could be looking at significant changes.

ESPN’s NFL Nation took a look at all 32 NFL rosters and broke the players from each team sitting on the roster bubble. For the Eagles that one player is Rasul Douglas, who could be the odd man out after the additions of Darius Slay and Nickell Robey-Coleman.

Rasul Douglas, cornerback

Douglas is a big, physical corner who has stayed relatively healthy and has flashed potential at times during his three seasons in Philadelphia, accruing five interceptions and 25 passes defensed over that span. He is hurt by his lack of recovery speed, however, leaving him susceptible to big plays. With the organization committed to getting faster across the board, it’s fair to wonder whether Douglas remains a philosophical fit. — Tim McManus

Douglas had his contract restructured during the offseason and He’ll compete with Sidney Jones and Avonte Maddox for the role opposite Darius Slay.
