It's Sunday July 31. I don't understand why the Eagles oly have 88 polayers on the active roster. 

Why not bring in a punter and a big running back? If not the actually compete then to get a good look at potential injury replacements. 

I think you’re overlooking the guys on PUP. They aren’t included in the 88 but they count against the 90 limit.

Thanks for the feedback, but I think that might not be the case. They have 88 on the active roster and 3 on PUP so your explaination does not compute. 

Matt Leo is a roster exception and doesn't count against the 90.

Not sure, but Matt Leo might have an exemption as a foreigner, so he’d be the 91st player. 

EMB solves a mystery once again!

 A player on the PUP list counts against the 90-man roster during the preseason, but not the 53-man roster during the regular season.
