Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles have rounded out their practice squad with four additional signings, bringing the total to 17 players. Wide receiver Danny Gray, offensive lineman Kiran Amegadjie, cornerback Robert Longerbeam, and running back Jaydon Blue are the latest additions. This brings the total to 17 players on the practice squad, one over the standard 16-player limit due to Uar Bernard's international exemption. Amegadjie, a former third-round pick of the Bears, provides much-needed developmental tackle depth. Longerbeam joins the cornerback room after a solid preseason with Baltimore. Blue, waived by Dallas, adds another running back option to the depth chart. Several Eagles players have updated their jersey numbers following roster cuts. Quarterback Cole Payton shifts from No. 10 to No. 18, taking on the number previously worn by Britain Covey. Cornerback Jonathan Jones returns to No. 31, his number since 2016. Long snapper Rocco Underwood moves to No. 41. Safety Andre' Sam, now on injured reserve, switches from No. 31 to No. 32. Practice squad additions include Jaydon Blue (No. 30), Robert Longerbeam (No. 38), Mason Reiger (No. 43), and Kiran Amegadjie (No. 73). Britain Covey also changes his number from No. 18 to No. 85. In player analysis, rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon's preseason debut showed flashes, despite a stat line of three catches for three yards. While he struggled with a muffed punt and was targeted on an interception, film review suggests positive work at the line of scrimmage, though route manipulation needs refinement. Backup quarterback Tanner McKee continues to show limitations outside of structure, struggling to make quick decisions when plays break down, reinforcing his projection as a backup rather than a starter. Offensive lineman Micah Morris earned his roster spot with strong preseason play, demonstrating crucial recovery ability after initial technique failures. Jake Majors, also on the interior offensive line, impressed and was retained on the practice squad. The loss of offensive tackle Cameron Williams to waivers, however, is a point of contention, with his physical tools deemed worth retaining over an extra quarterback. On defense, Kelee Ringo showed encouraging improvement in off-coverage, utilizing his physical tools effectively. Michael Carter's transition to safety remains a concern due to his struggles processing route combinations in single-high coverage. Zion Wilson, waived, showed promise that some hoped would warrant a practice squad spot. Safety Andre Sam was a preseason standout before an injury, while Mac McWilliams, despite making the roster, had a concerning performance against the Bengals. Overall roster depth at safety is a point of concern after Sam's injury and Carter's inconsistency. Quarterback Jalen Hurts was featured in a GQ interview and an ESPN ranking, where he was placed at No. 97 in their top 100 players. Hurts reflected on his tendency to focus on failures for improvement, even amidst wins. ESPN projects him for 3,779 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions, with 106 carries for 438 yards and 9 touchdowns. The team also announced the launch of the SB Nation app, offering an enhanced fan experience for Eagles supporters.
