# Jeff Kerr: Kerr's third Eagles 53-man roster projection names the players he expects to make the team at each position, with Cole Payton, Elijah Moore, Johnny Wilson, Gabe Hall and Rocco Underwood left off; he also predicts Underwood is exposed to waivers and returns to the practice squad, Deontae Lawson lands on the practice squad, and Eli Stowers is the TE3. **Claimed:** Aug 16, 2026 **Pundit:** Jeff Kerr — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jeff-kerr **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/eagles/onsi/updated-eagles-53-man-roster-projection-3-0-is-there-room-for-joshua-weru-01m0554xk40f 58 checkable claims — 56 roster spot calls and 2 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 57 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 49 of 58 have settled so far, averaging 98 out of 100, against 89.8 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room. > With Week 1 in the preseason in the rearview mirror, here's my third 53-man roster projection. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -

He took the Rams over the Giants, the Bears over the Vikings, and the Jaguars at Denver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/21a71025-ab65-4716-ac2c-e77ad5ce3348 (scored 100) - Ty Schmit on Philadelphia Eagles: While taking the Bears to cover, he said he expects the Eagles to win Monday night in Chicago in a tight game. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/118b8db9-3aa5-429d-925b-8683b0f17024 (scored 0) - Darius Butler on Philadelphia Eagles: He trusts Jalen Hurts over the Bears' quarterback situation and picked Philadelphia to beat Chicago on Monday night. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d98968c9-3fd0-44cf-af9d-e305f0a97648 (scored 0) - Jared Dubin on Philadelphia Eagles: Dubin picked the Eagles to win at Chicago 23-10 on Monday night. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ff02a653-02d7-47d8-872c-107113a8dbf7 (scored 33.33) ## More roster spot calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Carter Bahns on Jeshaun Jones: A CBS Sports piece expects suspended Vikings receiver Jeshaun Jones to lose his roster battle and be cut by the Aug. 30 deadline, given Minnesota's established receiver group. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/98c7155f-d05c-43cb-8c03-4f50d43211a8 (scored 0) - Ralph Ventre on Christian Benford: Ventre expects Christian Benford's toe injury to sideline him for at least the Week 4 game against New England, and believes the Bills will have to add a cornerback to the 53-man roster this week — likely by moving Benford to injured reserve — with practice squad rookie Kani Walker the most likely player elevated. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/94b844fe-bb22-4517-81f5-6263eb0213f1 (scored 0) - Thomas Martinez on Patrick Herbert: Martinez projects the Chargers' starting lineups on offense and defense for their Week 3 game at Buffalo, with injuries forcing several changes — Oronde Gadsden II at tight end, Trevor Penning at left guard, Jamaree Caldwell at defensive tackle and RJ Mickens at safety — while expecting Ladd McConkey to play and Marquez Valdez-Scantling to debut. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/bcc0c9e2-6313-45af-bc99-f1cd46806da6 (scored 0) - Tyler Sullivan on Jake Haener: Sullivan expects the Giants, thin at quarterback after Jaxson Dart's season-ending knee injury, to elevate Jake Haener from the practice squad for Week 3. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/eb928ca7-b6fd-41e7-8b48-b38e4f64ce09 (scored 0) - Ethan Hurwitz on Jeremiah Pharms Jr.: Hurwitz writes that the elevations of Jeremiah Pharms Jr. and Mike Brown likely mean Leonard Taylor III stays a healthy scratch and Joshua Farmer could be one too for the Week 3 game at Jacksonville, and that both elevated players will revert to the practice squad after Sunday. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fc98ac5c-1a8e-4462-94fa-993b02c52d00 (scored 0) - Randy Gurzi on Reddy Steward: Gurzi predicts the Cowboys' 17-man practice squad, naming each player he expects Dallas to sign, including a surprise addition of released Giants tackle Evan Neal. He also predicts Jaydon Blue will be claimed off waivers by another team and that Sam Williams will land elsewhere. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a37588ef-f76e-4f06-a951-a85a563271d5 (scored 0) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
