Eagles Rookie Roster Breakdown | NFL News

The Eagles kick off 2026 with six rookies on the 53-man roster — five drafted, one undrafted long snapper — showing bold faith in their young talent. They kept all first-six-round picks but released all seventh-rounders, who now hit the open market. Makai Lemon, a first-rounder, secured his spot despite injury hiccups, while Eli Stowers, a tight end with QB roots, battled through setbacks to make the team. On the offensive line, Markel Bell brings size behind veterans, Micah Morris earned his place through grit and growth, and Cole Payton joins as a developmental QB — a risky but strategic move. Rocco Underwood, the undrafted long snapper, quietly locked down his role, completing the specialists. It’s a blend of high draft picks and gritty underdogs proving they belong.
