Caden Sterns has had an insane tenure with the Eagles

Caden Sterns has been signed, cut, signed, cut, signed, cut, signed and cut by the Eagles this season.

Former Denver Broncos safety Caden Sterns has had a crazy tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles this season.

The Eagles released Sterns from their practice squad again on Thursday, marking the team’s eighth transaction involving the safety in 2024.

Sterns is apparently still attempting to bounce back from the knee injury he suffered last season with the Broncos and he’s struggling to hold down a spot in Philadelphia. Here’s a look back at the safety’s timeline since his injury:

Sterns will turn 25 next month, so he’s clearly still young enough to have a future in the NFL. We’ll see if the Eagles end up bringing him back yet again.

Eagles sign a veteran tight end ahead of matchup vs. Browns in Week 6

The Philadelphia Eagles have released Caden Sterns and signed C.J. Uzomah to the practice squad

The Eagles announced two practice squad moves on Thursday, releasing veteran safety Caden Sterns, and signing tight end C.J. Uzomah.

Philadelphia is preparing for a matchup against the Cleveland Browns, and are as healthy as they’ve been since training camp.

Uzomah was released by the Jets in March, saving the team about $5.3 million on their salary cap. The 31-year-old was scheduled to count $11.2 million against the Jets’ cap.

The veteran tight end was signed to a one-year deal back in April.

Eagles announce three practice squad moves ahead of Week 3 matchup vs. Saints

Eagles sign Caden Sterns and David Anenih and release Kevin Foelsch

The Eagles made three roster moves on Wednesday, including adding a pass rusher to the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s game in New Orleans.

Philadelphia signed Caden Sterns and outside linebacker David Anenih to the practice squad and released rookie tight end Kevin Foelsch from the practice squad.

Anenih, 24, entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2022 but has not appeared in a regular season game. He’s spent time with the Titans, Steelers, Falcons, and Cardinals.

This marks the fourth time Philadelphia has signed Sterns in just over a month, with the safety being cut after the last three signings.

The Eagles are going to give Caden Sterns whiplash

The Eagles signed and cut Caden Sterns three times in a one-month span. They are now signing him yet again.

The Philadelphia Eagles can’t seem to make up their mind.

The Eagles re-signed safety Caden Sterns to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to KPRC-TV’s Aaron Wilson. This marks the fourth time Philadelphia has signed Sterns in just over a month, with the safety being cut after the last three signings.

Still attempting to bounce back from last season’s knee injury with the Denver Broncos, Sterns has had a difficult year. Here’s a look back at his recent landmarks, including seven transactions by the Eagles:

Sterns, 24, will hope Philly plans to stick with him this time around.

Caden Sterns has been cut yet again

One day after re-signing him to their practice squad, the Eagles have cut safety Caden Sterns again. It’s been a tough year for the safety.

Just one day after re-signing Caden Sterns to their practice squad, the Philadelphia Eagles released the safety again on Thursday, according to KPRC-TV’s Aaron Wilson.

This is the latest development in an incredibly tough year for Sterns. To recap, this is the safety’s timeline dating back to Week 1 last season:

That would be a brutal year for any player to endure, and the Eagles are now giving the safety whiplash. He’s been signed and cut six times by Philadelphia alone.

Still only 24 years old, Sterns is young enough to continue playing in the NFL if he can recover from last season’s knee injury. Broncos fans will be rooting for him to be able to get back on the field.

The Caden Sterns saga has another twist

Caden Sterns was signed by the Eagles, then cut, then signed to the practice squad, then cut, then re-signed to the practice squad.

Story update: One day after being signed by the Eagles on Wednesday, Sterns was released by Philadelphia on Thursday. See our original post below.

Caden Sterns has had quite a trying year in the NFL.

Last fall, in the Denver Broncos’ first game of the 2023 season on Sept. 10, Sterns tore the patellar tendon in his knee and the team placed him on injured reserve on Sept. 13, 2023. Sterns then missed the final 16 games of the year and spent this offseason rehabbing from the injury.

Sterns finally passed a physical with the Broncos in late July this year, but he was waived a few days later on Aug. 5. Then the rollercoaster began.

The safety was picked up by the Carolina Panthers on Aug. 6, but they waived him with a failed physical designation on Aug. 8. After that, Sterns signed with the Philadelphia Eagles on Aug. 11, only to be cut with a non-football injury designation on Aug. 27. Sterns signed with Philly’s practice squad one day later, but he was cut again on Sept. 3.

Now, just over one year removed from when he initially suffered the knee injury, Sterns re-signed with the Eagles practice squad on Sept. 11. It’s been quite a journey for the 24-year-old safety. Fans in Denver will hope that Sterns is able to fully recover and get back on the field in Philadelphia.

Caden Sterns has been cut 4 times in less than a month

Caden Sterns has been cut four times by three NFL teams in less than a month. We’re hoping he can get healthy.

Even before the Denver Broncos waived Caden Sterns last month, coach Sean Payton hinted that the safety could be looking at a lengthy recovery from his 2023 knee injury.

“I think Caden has a road ahead of him relative to getting healthy,” Payton said on July 25, foreshadowing what was to come for the safety.

The Broncos waived Sterns on Aug. 5 after failing to find a trade partner for the 24-year-old safety. Sterns was then picked up by the Carolina Panthers, but they waived him with a failed physical examination on Aug. 8.

Sterns then got an opportunity with the Philadelphia Eagles, but he did not dress for any of their preseason games. The Eagles cut Sterns with a non-football injury designation on Aug. 27, but he was re-signed to Philly’s practice squad the next day.

Now the safety has been cut once again as the Eagles released Sterns from their practice squad on Sept. 3. That marks four times Sterns has been cut in less than a month. Here’s to hoping he will be able to recover from the knee injury and get back on the field sometime down the road.

What became of ex-Broncos safety Caden Sterns during NFL roster cuts?

Caden Sterns was waived by the Eagles with a non-football injury on Tuesday, but Philly re-signed him to its practice squad on Wednesday.

August was a trying month for safety Caden Sterns.

The 24-year-old safety was waived by the Denver Broncos on Aug. 5 after the team failed to find a trade partner for him. Thus ended a three-year run in Denver that included 28 games missed due to injury in a two-year span.

It initially appeared that Sterns landed on his feet quickly as the Carolina Panthers claimed him off waivers on Aug. 6. But the Panthers later waived Sterns on Aug. 8 with a failed physical designation.

Three days later, Sterns got another opportunity when the Philadelphia Eagles signed him on Aug. 11. In Philly, Sterns reunited with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who served as Denver’s head coach when the safety was a rookie with the Broncos in 2021.

Sterns did not play in either of the Eagles’ two preseason games after he signed, and Philadelphia waived him with a non-football injury designation on Tuesday. Fortunately, that was not the end of the road for Sterns’ career.

Sterns was one of 14 players to sign with the Eagles’ practice squad on Wednesday. Still looking to get his knee healthy, Sterns will have the support of an NFL team’s medical team going into the 2024 season. Time will tell if he’s able to get back on the field later this fall.
