The Eagles’ final preseason game is tonight. Here’s who has Merrill Reese interested.

The Eagles play their final preseason game Friday against the New York Jets in North Jersey, their final tuneup before they kick off the 2025 NFL season in just under two weeks.

If you’re expecting to see Jalen Hurts or just about any starter of significance take the field, you haven’t been watching. Friday night is for fringe players to make their final case to remain on the team before the Birds cut down to a 53-man roster Tuesday.

Merrill Reese, the longtime voice of the Eagles who will be doing play-by-play on 94.1 WIP, has to watch the game. But that doesn’t mean he expects it to boring, even if he admits the second half will feature “a lot of players who are only known to their mothers.”

Reese is looking forward to watching a couple players, including Kyle McCord, the St. Joe’s Prep alum who grew up rooting for the Eagles and got the bulk of the snaps (and threw his first touchdown pass) during their second preseason game.

Reese also pointed to the battles for three starting defensive positions at safety, cornerback, and linebacker, where he’s been impressed by the play of first-round pick Jihaad Campbell.

“I’m also interested to see more of No. 41, Darius Cooper, who’s a free agent who came out of seemingly no place,” Reese told The Inquirer, pointing to the wide receiver’s college career at obscure Tarleton State.

“He’s really made a mark. He’s been really, really good,” Reese said. “I think he’s got a great chance at a roster spot.”

My colleague Jeff McLane agrees, pegging Cooper as one of the top winners of training camp. His chances of making the team’s final roster improved Thursday with the news Johnny Wilson is out for the season following a training camp injury.
