The Philadelphia Eagles announced its final cuts on Saturday, and we now know that Glassboro, New Jersey native Corey Clement made the 53-man roster.The running back beat the odds as an undrafted rookie free agent.

The Eagles also kept RB Donnel Pumphrey, meaning the team has five running backs on the roster.
The Eagles also announced they have signed CB Dexter McDougle to a one-year extension through the 2018 season.
Meanwhile, the Eagles are going with only two quarterbacks after releasing Matt McGloin and Dane Evans, even though backup Nick Foles didn't play in the preseason because of an elbow injury.
