Veteran NFL Players Toney and Bradberry on Edge

As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare for their preseason finale, head coach Nick Sirianni is leveraging motivational clips from Chargers running back Austin Ekeler to inspire his team. This final game serves as a critical opportunity for players on the roster bubble to showcase their skills and secure a spot before the impending cut deadline on Tuesday. Among the veterans vying for a place on the roster are former New York Giants players Kadarius Toney and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown. Toney, a first-round pick in 2021, played a pivotal role in the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory over the Eagles, making key plays that turned the game in his team's favor. Meanwhile, Brown, who joined the Chiefs this offseason, faces competition from newly drafted wideout Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice, as the team looks to bolster its receiving corps. Right tackle La’el Collins, who has not played since 2022 due to a knee injury, is also on the bubble after being moved to guard in a bid to secure a roster spot. His struggles in training camp have raised concerns about his future with the team. Additionally, New England's Bailey Zappe is likely being retained for potential trade opportunities, although interest may be limited. Safety Mike Edwards, a two-time Super Bowl champion, is fighting for a position with the Buffalo Bills. After being eased back into practice, he faces pressure to prove his worth, especially with a significant salary cap saving at stake if the team decides to cut him.
