Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Antwaun Powell-Ryland (56) reaches for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee (16) in the first quarter of the NFL Preseason Week 3 game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cincinnati Bengals at Lincoln Financial Field in Philladelphia on Friday, Aug. 28, 2026. | USA TODAY Network via Reuters Co The Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Cincinnati Bengals in their preseason finale on Friday night.Final score, which doesn’t matter, but we’re logging it here anyway: 30 to 13.The Eagles’ final preseason record, which also doesn’t matter, but we’re logging it here anyway: 0-3. Time to hand out some winners, losers, and I don’t knows ahead of the team making roster cuts from 90 players down to 53 before 6:00 PM Eastern on Sunday, August 30.‘WINNERSDARIUS COOPERThe Eagles rested him. He’s on the roster. The question is: how many snaps will he play on offense, if any at all? WILLIE LAMPKINThe Eagles also notably rested him, though he’s also been banged up a bit recently with a stinger. Regardless, he’s on the roster.CARSON STEELESteele finished the preseason as the Eagles’ leading receiver and it wasn’t close:Eagles 2026 preseason receiving leadersRB Carson Steele: 14 recs, 136 yards, 2 TDWR Darius Cooper: 5 recs, 65 yards TE Stone Smartt: 7 recs, 47 yardsWR Britain Covey: 5 recs, 44 yards, 1 TD— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) August 29, 2026Meanwhile, his 21 rushing attempts produced just 59 rushing yards (2.8 average). The Eagles might not keep him on the roster since, at best, he would be RB4 behind Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley (who was among the rested players tonight). But Steele has made a case for himself and perhaps the Eagles envision using him in a fullback role. If he doesn’t stick in Philly, Steele shouldn’t struggle to find a landing spot in some capacity with a different NFL team. JAKE ELLIOTTAfter attempting zero field goals through the Eagles’ first two preseason games, Elliott made kicks from 45 and 56 yards out on Friday night. Good to see. Elliott’s had a good summer: Jake Elliott’s kicks this summer:28/31 in training camp7/7 in preseason games35/38 overall— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) August 29, 2026Then again, he also did last year before struggling in the regular season.KEYSHAWN JAMES-NEWBYKJN missed most of the Eagles’ offseason practices due to injury. But their final pick from the 2026 NFL Draft followed up a good moment in practice earlier this week with a sack in this game by chasing down Josh Johnson from behind. He’s earned practice squad consideration. ZION WILSONWilson popped in every preseason game this summer. He logged a TFL and a QB hit on Friday night. The Eagles may have found a diamond in the rough here with a player whom originally intended on playing college football in 2026 before being ruled ineligible. Good developmental option for the practice squad. JORDAN MIMSTotally forgot the Eagles signed him earlier t
