# Jeff Kerr: Kerr assesses which Eagles have played their way onto or off the initial 53-man roster, projecting roster spots for Willie Lampkin, Drew Kendall, Ty Robinson and others, depth-chart placements for Kendall, Will Shipley, Markel Bell and Jeremiah Trotter Jr., and trouble for Andy Dalton, Rocco Underwood, Micah Morris and Andre Sam. **Claimed:** Aug 24, 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/8-biggest-winners-6-largest-losers-from-eagles-preseason-willie-lampkin-takes-over-01m0sy1tj13e 11 checkable claims — 6 depth chart calls, 4 roster spot calls and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 10 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 2 of 11 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 2 and below it on 2. > Lampkin has earned a roster spot. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Ty Robinson to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Ty Robinson, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Willie Lampkin to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Willie Lampkin, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Eli Stowers to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Eli Stowers, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jeremiah Trotter Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Fred Johnson to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Fred Johnson, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Drew Kendall to be 3rd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Drew Kendall, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Drew Kendall to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Drew Kendall, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Will Shipley to be 3rd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Will Shipley, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Andy Dalton to move to Philadelphia Eagles** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Andy Dalton, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Markel Bell to be 3rd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Markel Bell, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Eli Stowers to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Eli Stowers, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Ty Robinson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/ty-robinson - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Willie Lampkin — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/willie-lampkin - Eli Stowers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/eli-stowers - Jeremiah Trotter Jr. — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jeremiah-trotter-jr - Fred Johnson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/fred-johnson - Drew Kendall — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/drew-kendall - Will Shipley — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/will-shipley - Andy Dalton — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/andy-dalton - Markel Bell — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/markel-bell ## What others said about the same people - Nate Tice on Philadelphia Eagles: Tice matched his guest on every Week 3 game, picking the Ravens over the Cowboys, the Jaguars over the Patriots in a close game, the Broncos to upset the Rams, the Raiders over the Saints, the Eagles over the Bears and the Lions over the Jets. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b8378e16-ea5c-4107-a883-28aaf0e71134 (scored 0) - Steven Ruiz on Philadelphia Eagles: Previewing Week 3, Ruiz picked the Ravens to beat the Cowboys in Brazil, Jacksonville over New England in a low-scoring game, an upset by the Broncos over the Rams, the Raiders over the Saints, the Eagles over the Bears, the Lions over the Jets, and his Hail Mary that Houston beats Indianapolis by two touchdowns. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a30ff469-4972-4c48-855b-ba984e4de9d0 (scored 0) - Matt Harmon on Philadelphia Eagles: Harmon picked the Bengals to beat the Texans in Week 2, expecting Nico Collins to miss the game with a hamstring injury, and also predicted the Titans would be shut out by the Eagles.
