Eagles Announce Roster Cuts as Roster Is Trimmed to 53

The Eagles have played out their full preseason schedule and are less than a week away from the season opener on Thursday night against the Falcons. 

But first they had some decisions to make. 

Their 90-man roster was cut down to 53 players by the NFL's 4 p.m. deadline on Saturday. Now, there will be some shuffling as teams try to claim players on waivers from other teams and try to fill out their 10-man practice squads after. 

Here are all the cuts the Eagles announced:  

• QB Christian Hackenberg

• QB Joe Callahan
