FOX NFL Insider Jay Glazer is reporting the Eagles traded backup quarterback Matt Barkley to the Arizona Cardinals on Friday. Philly will receive a conditional draft pick in exchange.

Barkley being traded paves a way for Tim Tebow to make the final 53-man roster. Tebow and Barkley had been battling to be the No. 3 QB spot behind starter Sam Bradford and backup Mark Sanchez.

While Barkley played well to start the preseason, he regressed and eventually struggled in Thursday's preseason finale as he went just 4 for 9 for 45 yards with an interception. Tebow, on the other hand, finished the preseason strong as he threw two touchdown passes in Thursday's game against the New York Jets
