We thought we had this figured out. Dorian Thompson-Robinson was doomed once the Philadelphia Eagles drafted Kyle McCord. A three-man depth chart at the quarterback position on a 53-man roster would almost certainly guarantee that Thompson-Robinson would be the odd-man-out.

The Philadelphia Eagles wrapped up their preseason on Friday night with a 19-17 win over the New York Jets. Now, players will wait to hear their phone ring between now and the cutdown deadline on Tuesday, August 26, by 4 p.m. ET to see if they've made the 53-man roster.

Thompson-Robinson has been much better than rookie Kyle McCord so far, but that does leave an interesting question at QB3 for the Eagles during cutdowns.

Montrell Johnson was first up among the deep reserve running backs. It was tough sledding for the undrafted rookie, but he managed 20 yards on six totes. Fullback Ben VanSumeren got some snaps in the first half. His cut block helped paved the way for Johnson’s 7-yard dart up the middle. VanSumeren had a false start penalty with the punt unit.
