Philadelphia Eagles announce 2 roster moves as the team starts preparation for Week 10

The Eagles announced a couple of roster moves on Tuesday, waiving cornerback Mac McCain and signing cornerback Craig James to the practice squad.

An undrafted rookie free agent signing of the Broncos out of North Carolina A&T, McCain was active for Philadelphia’s game against the Cowboys.

James has been a special team’s ace for the Eagles over the past two seasons.

Lions 7-round mock draft 4.0: The fantasy episode

Most mock drafts are predictive in nature. Not this one…

Most mock drafts are predictive in nature. Not this one. For v4.0 of the Lions Wire’s full Detroit mock draft, I turned the dial to Fantasy Island.

It’s time to dare to dream!

Being that this is a dream, everything written here is intended to be narrated by BBC news presenter Alan Kasujja, whose deep tones and accented diction help guide me to sleep most nights.

Don’t expect any of this to actually happen. That’s not the point. This is my ideal fantasy for how the 2021 NFL draft would play out for the Lions.

Lions 2021 draft: A cornerback for every round

Expect the Lions to address the CB position at some point during the 2021 NFL draft

The 2021 NFL draft offers the Detroit Lions intriguing prospects across several position groups. One of the more important ones for the new-look Lions is cornerback.

Detroit signed veteran Corn Elder this week to help shore up the depth chart, but the Lions can still add more young help to the unsettled corps. Youngsters Jeff Okudah and Amani Oruwariye has shown promise as the starting outside tandem, and Elder can handle the slot, but beyond that, the only other CB currently on the roster is Mike Ford, a special teams player.

Expect the Lions to address the CB position at some point during the draft. After tabbing Okudah at No. 3 overall in 2020, it’s unlikely GM Brad Holmes would dip back into the position at the No. 7 overall spot. But we’ll include an option anyway.

The players listed here are generally projected as fits in the top 10 picks of the round listed, where the Lions would select prior to any trades. Even though Detroit doesn’t currently have sixth or seventh-round picks, we still included a corner for each round.
