Chip Kelly: We're in the process of cutting roster down, official list soon ... Wasn't beneficial to have guys practice who won't play. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 23, 2014

Kelly says making most cuts today gives guys a chance to latch on somewhere. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 23, 2014

Kelly asked whether Cody Parkey was on Eagles' list after draft, says it was a free-for-all but Parkey was on the list. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 23, 2014

Kelly on kicker competition: We'll kick today, have kicking periods in practice and see chances we get in game ... Nothing else we can do. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 23, 2014

Kelly: McCoy, Maclin, Cary Williams and Boykin will all practice today. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 23, 2014

Kelly: I don't think Huff is a candidate for IR right now, don't have to make that decision yet. — Eagles Insider (@EaglesInsider) August 23, 2014
