# 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 call. It names 10 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 5 of 11 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 40 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 6 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 4 and below it on 2. > Lampkin has earned a roster spot. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
