Who Should I Start? Terrace Marshall Jr. or Dee Eskridge

The Philadelphia Eagles released wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. and cornerback Eli Ricks from their practice squad on Friday, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia. In corresponding moves, the team added running back Audric Estime and defensive back Ambry Thomas to the practice squad. Marshall, a former second-round pick (59th overall) by the Carolina Panthers in 2021 out of LSU, played in seven games (one start) with the Las Vegas Raiders last year and caught just three of six targets for 41 yards. The 25-year-old was limited by a knee issue during training camp with Philly this summer and caught even passes for 66 yards in the team's final two preseason games. He will now look to catch on elsewhere as receiver depth. Marshall has a total of 67 receptions for 808 yards and just one touchdown in his four NFL seasons.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Dee Eskridge stepped up on Saturday with three catches for 53 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Miami's 24-17 win over the Lions. Eskridge scored the Dolphins' only touchdown of the first half on an 11-yard pass from Zach Wilson. The second-round pick from Western Michigan was playing close to home and got off to a rough start by fumbling his first punt return, but he bounced back and drew praise from coach Mike McDaniel for his ability to bounce back and put together a strong performance. Last year, Eskridge started the year on Miami's practice squad and only had three receptions for 44 yards in six games. His special team abilities seem to have him on an inside track to earn a spot on the roster out of camp this season, and he could be the team's fifth receiver behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and Malik Washington, who all sat out Saturday's preseason contest, giving Eskridge and rookie Theo Wease Jr. chances to step up and post big games.
