Eagles waive TE Jack Stoll

With Jordan Mailata returning to the lineup, the Philadelphia Eagles are waiving tight end Jack Stoll

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to get Jordan Mailata back in the lineup, and tight end Jack Stoll has been waived. The team needs a roster spot.

Mailata is returning to the lineup after missing four games, and Stoll is the third tight end on the roster. Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra are the main contributors.

Stoll has two catches, for 10 yards in seven games played this season, and he could return on the practice squad.

Eagles release TE Albert Okwuegbunam

Philadelphia Eagles release TE Albert Okwuegbunam

The Albert Okweugbunam experiment appears to be over, as the Philadelphia Eagles are releasing the veteran tight end.

Philadelphia made the move after opening his 21-day practice window, but it chose to keep Okweugbunam on injured reserve.

Okwuegbunam started the regular season on injured reserve after undergoing a core muscle repair procedure at the end of training camp. His 21-day practice window to return from IR opened on Oct. 16, and he was sidelined for the Week 9 win over Jacksonville despite not having an injury designation.

Had Okwuegbunam not been released today or activated off injured reserve leading up to Week 10 against the Cowboys, he would have been forced to sit for the entire 2024 regular season.

Eagles announce three roster moves ahead of Week 8 game vs. Bengals

The Eagles have signed OL Jack Driscoll to the active roster and have signed WR Parris Campbell and DT Siaki Ika to the Practice Squad.

The Eagles are set to take the field for their first practice of Week 8, and the team signed Jack Driscoll to the active roster from the practice squad.

The team also announced that Parris Campbell and defensive tackle Siaki Ika have signed to the practice squad.

Driscoll was elevated to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the Giants. Driscoll was also brought up for the Week 6 game against the Browns, playing five snaps on special teams.

Driscoll was signed to the practice squad on Sept. 3, rejoining the team after spending four years with them and being drafted in the fourth round of the 2020 draft.

Campbell had six catches for 30 yards and a touchdown in four games with the Eagles.

A third-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2023, Ika was released from the Browns’ practice squad on October 15.

Ika played in four regular-season games for the Browns last season as a rookie and the playoff contest in Houston.

Philadelphia Eagles’ roster comparison: 2023 vs. 2024 defense

Last summer, the Eagles entered the 2023 NFL season fresh off a Super Bowl loss while maintaining one of the league’s most dominant defensive units. The Birds lost Jonathan Gannon, who accepted the Cardinals’ coaching job. Sean Desai was inserted as defensive coordinator, and the team jumped out to a 10-1 start before the wheels fell off.

Philadelphia lost six of its final seven games, including a 32-9 blowout loss to the Buccaneers in the wild-card round. Desai was fired as DC and replaced by Vic Fangio, the architect of the scheme. Bryce Huff was signed in free agency, while Haason Reddick was traded away.

With the Eagles just five days away from a much-hyped season-opening matchup against the Packers from Sao Paulo, Brazil, we’re comparing last year’s defensive unit to the 2024 version.

2023: Jalen Carter, Fletcher Cox, Jordan Davis, Moro Ojomo, Kentavius Street, Marlon Tuipulotu, Milton Williams

2024: Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Milton Williams, Moro Ojomo, Byron Young, Thomas Booker

Fletcher Cox has retired, while Byron Jones replaces the departed Marlon Tuipulotu. Thomas Booker and Moro Ojomo offer pass-rush potential.

2023: Derek Barnett, Brandon Graham, Josh Sweat, Patrick Johnson, Haason Reddick, Nolan Smith

2024: Brandon Graham, Josh Sweat, Patrick Johnson, Nolan Smith, Bryce Huff, Jalyx Hunt

Bryce Huff replaces the departed Haason Reddick. Huff is younger than Reddick, and he’s an emerging pass rusher. Jalyx Hunt is an athletic marvel off the edge. Nolan Smith’s progression will be the most scrutinized.

2023: Zach Cunningham, Nakobe Dean, Christian Elliss

2024: Zack Baun, Nakobe Dean, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Ben VanSumeren, Devin White, Oren Burks

Thanks to another standout training camp, Ben VanSumeren made the Eagles’ 53-man roster, outplaying Oren Burks and others. Devin White offers a Pro Bowl-caliber linebacker.

2023: James Bradberry, Mario Goodrich, Josh Jobe, Avonte Maddox, Eli Ricks. Kelee Ringo, Darius Slay

2024: Cooper DeJean, Quinyon Mitchell, Eli Ricks, Kelee Ringo, Isaiah Rodgers, Darius Slay

After a disappointing finish to 2023, Howie Roseman selected cornerbacks with the first two picks in the 2024 NFL draft. Avonte Maddox is now a safety, along with James Bradberry, while Josh Jobe is with the Seahawks practice squad.

2023: Reed Blankenship, Sydney Brown, Terrell Edmunds, Justin Evans

2024: Reed Blankenship, James Bradberry, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Avonte Maddox, Tristin McCollum

Sydney Brown is on the PUP list and will be a factor in 2024. Reed Blankenship has developed into a solid NFL safety, while C.J. Gardner-Johnson returns the swagger to the Eagles lineup. Tristin McCollum has developed into a solid rotational piece.
