The Philadelphia Eagles season is over and with that, the preparation for 2020 is now underway.

The Eagles took the first steps to build next season’s roster, by signing eight players to reserve/future deals.

Among the 8 players were Alex Ellis, a tight end who spent time on the Eagles practice squad and active roster this season.

Other players signed who spent time with the Eagles this season included Albert Huggins, Marken Michel, Tremon Smith, and former Giants signal-caller, Kyle Lauletta.

Cracraft is a young, speedy wide receiver that could develop into a goto player out of the slot.

The Philadelphia Eagles may have a decision to make in regard to resting tight end Zach Ertz against the Giants while risking playing a must-win game without the NFC’s top tight end.

Eagles’ head coach Doug Pederson met with the media on Monday morning, and confirmed that Ertz is dealing with a rib injury that has been “affected”.

Ertz is the Eagles’ best skill player currently and he’ll likely spend the week determining his pain threshold as the team weighs the pros and cons of playing him with a likely home playoff game looming two weeks from now.

The Philadelphia Eagles have swapped out tight ends on the practice squad, signing Alex Ellis to a deal and releasing Scott Orndoff from the practice squad.

Ellis was waived/injured in October to make room for cornerback Ryan Lewis before the Eagles Week 5 win over the New York Jets.

The Eagles currently have three tight ends on their 53-man roster in Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert, and Josh Perkins.
