The Philadelphia Eagles had some tough decisions to make following a successful 2024 NFL preseason as they trimmed their roster from 90 men down to 53 on Tuesday.

Silence is golden during roster cuts. 

Those who did not make the team received a phone call from the front office ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline. Meanwhile, those who did make the team, did not hear from anyone. 

Now that the deadline has passed, here are those who outworked many talented players to win a roster spot on the Eagles' initial 53-man roster.
