Nine recently cut or waived players the Philadelphia Eagles should consider adding
The Eagles trimmed their roster down to 53 players on Tuesday, and as the team builds a practice squad, GM Howie Roseman could look to add more talent and personnel.
With Philadelphia focusing on the Lions, the team will likely have a few waiver wire targets that could land on the practice squad or replace a bubble player already on the roster.
With waiver claims starting at noon, here are nine recently cut players the Eagles should consider signing.

According to Adam Schefter, Tay Gowan is being waived by the Eagles, and the move coincides with the team acquiring Chauncey Gardner-Johnson from the Saints.
A 2021 sixth-round pick, Gowan could return to Philadelphia on the practice squad, and he joins Mario Goodrich, Josh Blackwell, Jaquiski Tartt, and Anthony Harris in the group of defensive backs waived or released.

The Eagles are waiving defensive tackle Marvin Wilson, expecting to return to the 16-man practice squad if he clears waivers. Wilson had a solid training camp but will likely lose to Marlon Tuipuloutu for the final spot on the 53-man roster.
Wilson, 23, spent all last year on the Eagles’ practice squad, playing in one game against the Cowboys in the season finale.

The Philadelphia Eagles are releasing veteran offensive tackle Le’Raven Clark
Eagles are releasing OT- Le’Raven Clark. Cowboys’ OL coach Joe Philbin helped draft Clark in Indianapolis and Dallas does have a need at OT.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 30, 2022
The Eagles have one of the deepest offensive lines in the NFL, and Le’Raven Clark is a casualty of such depth.
Adam Schefter is reporting that Clark has been released as the team works to trim down to 53 players ahead of the season opener at Detroit.
A versatile tackle that can play both sides, Clark could return to the practice squad.

Philadelphia Eagles to waive cornerback Mario Goodrich
The #Eagles are waiving CB Mario Goodrich, source said, who should be headed back to their practice squad if not claimed.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 30, 2022
The Eagles are waiving one of the top young cornerbacks, as Ian Rapoport reports that Mario Goodrich has been waived.
The Eagles didn’t draft a cornerback and then signed the former Clemson star to a massive, $217,000 guaranteed undrafted free agent deal.
During his career at Clemson, Goodrich logged 84 tackles (0.5 for loss), 15 pass breakups, five interceptions, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery while playing 1,116 snaps over 47 games (16 starts).
Goodrich could return to the practice squad.

Philadelphia Eagles to waive quarterback Reid Sinnett, leaving the team with two signal-callers as the season opener approaches.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) August 30, 2022
Philadelphia may enter the 2022 NFL regular season with just two quarterbacks after the team waived Reid Sinnett, per Tom Peliserro.
The Eagles gave Reid Sinnett a chance to claim the third quarterback spot and possibly stake claim to the backup job if Gardner Minshew moves on in 2023.
Even with an increase in in-game action, Sinnett completed 25 of 48 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns with one interception while averaging 5.29 yards per attempt and was sacked six times.
Sinnett could return to Philadelphia’s practice squad if he clears waivers.

The Philadelphia Eagles are releasing veteran wide receiver Greg Ward with an injury settlement
Source says that WR Greg Ward will be released and that an injury settlement is in the works. Ward's lower body injury required 4 to 5 weeks of recovery, where Ward will look to land with a team after that.

The Greg Ward era is over in Philadelphia as the team is releasing the veteran wide receiver with an injury settlement.
A former quarterback at the University of Houston who transitioned to wide receiver in the NFL, Ward signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent before their Super Bowl season.
Ward spent most of his first 2.5 seasons on the practice squad before becoming the full-time slot receiver. He posted 53 receptions for 419 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns in 16 games during Philadelphia’s playoff run.
In 2021, Ward’s production slipped during Nick Sirianni’s first year as head coach, as the receiver logged just seven catches for 95 yards and three touchdowns after DeVonta Smith’s arrival and Quez Watkin’s rise up the depth chart.
With A.J. Brown and Zach Pascal now on the roster, Ward became a roster longshot.
