Philadelphia Eagles waive E.J. Jenkins ahead of 53-man roster cutdown deadline

In a move that can only be described as surprising, the Eagles are waiving tight end E.J. Jenkins ahead of Tuesday afternoon’s 53-man roster deadline.

Jenkins had a strong training camp and preseason and was among the favorites to make the roster behind star tight end Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra.

Jenkins went undrafted out of Georgia Tech in 2023 and signed with the Jets but was released at final cuts. Jenkins signed up for the Eagles’ practice squad in November before signing up with the Raiders’ practice squad in January.

He signed a futures deal with the Eagles on Jan. 22.

Jenkins had nine receptions during the preseason, for 66 yards and a 7.3 average yards per catch.

Jenkins could return to the practice squad, but he’ll also have his share of suitors on the waiver wire.

Browns workout five others in addition to Erik Harris during Steelers week

The Browns had six in for workouts on Friday.

This is standard procedure for the Cleveland Browns to bring in multiple players per week for a workout. They have done it every year under the era of general manager Andrew Berry. Yesterday it was reported that veteran safety Erik Harris was in town for a workout, but it turns out five others were as well as they prepare for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
