Training camp started with 90 players on the roster before getting trimmed down to 53 players over the past several days with a few shocking roster cuts.

With 37 players getting cut, three Eagles decided to change their jersey numbers ahead of the season opener at New England.

With the season opener fast approaching, here’s a look at the changes.
