Eagles Cut 20+ Players, Down To 53

August 31st, 2021 at 3:55pm CST by Zachary Links

The Eagles are ready to fly into Week 1. On Tuesday, they made a series of moves to get down to the 53-man roster max. Here’s the full rundown:

Released

Waived

S Grayland Arnold
G/T Kayode Awosika
WR Travis Fulgham
WR John Hightower
RB Jason Huntley
CB Michael Jacquet
CB Craig James
DE Matt Leo
G Sua Opeta
WR Andre Patton
C/G Ross Pierschbacher
S Elijah Riley
LB JaCoby Stevens
DT Raequan Williams

Placed on IR

S Blake Countess

Placed on Reserve/COVID List

DT T.Y. McGill

The Birds also freed up a spot earlier today by trading offensive lineman Matt Pryor (and a 2022 seventh-round pick) to the Colts for a sixth-round choice.

The release of wide receiver Travis Fulgham was one of today’s more notable moves. Fulgham played a big role for the Eagles last year as the team was decimated by WR injuries. However, they didn’t see enough this summer to keep him on the 53-man roster. With Fulgham gone, the Eagles are left with J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Jalen Reagor, DeVonta Smith, Greg Ward, and Quez Watkins as their Week 1 receivers.

Minor NFL Transactions: 11/16/20

November 16th, 2020 at 5:08pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

We’ll put all of today’s minor moves here:

Houston Texans

Released: KR DeAndre Carter

Jacksonville Jaguars

Placed on IR: RB Chris Thompson

Kansas City Chiefs

Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list: OL Eric Fisher, Mitchell Schwartz, Martinas Rankin

Philadelphia Eagles

Placed on IR: CB Craig James

San Francisco 49ers

Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list: DL Arik Armstead

Tennessee Titans

Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list: LB David Long

Fortunately it looks like all these COVID-19 list placements were due to contacts and not positive tests, meaning the Chiefs will likely have both of their starting tackles available on Sunday assuming they don’t test positive between now and then.

Eagles Place Vinny Curry On IR

September 15th, 2020 at 12:30pm CST by Zachary Links

The Eagles have placed defensive end Vinny Curry and cornerback Craig James on injured reserve, per a club announcement. Both players will miss a minimum of three weeks.

Curry went down with a hamstring injury in the Eagles’ season opener, leaving the Birds without one of their best pass rushers. Playing in all 16 regular season games last season, Curry notched five sacks and 27 total tackles. Four of those sacks came after Week 12, helping him to finish with one of the highest pressure rates in the league among edge rushers. When he returns, he’ll continue on his one-year, $1.3MM deal, though he might not achieve the sack totals required to realize much of his $700K incentives package.

James managed a fumble recovery in the Eagles’ Week 1 contest against the Washington Football Team before his early exit. His injury has not been disclosed, though head coach Doug Pederson says it’s “significant”.

To fill one of the two open spots on the roster, the Eagles have promoted guard Sua Opeta from the practice squad.
