Philadelphia Eagles waive five players as they work to trim the roster to 80

Philadelphia Eagles release five players as they work to trim the roster to 80

[jwplayer lxS1qjbX]

The Philadelphia Eagles just announced that they’ve waived five players as the team works to get the roster numbers down to 80. Among the cuts were defensive end Daeshon Hall and veteran receiver Shelton Gibson.

With NFL teams forced to reduce the training camp rosters amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Howie Roseman and company moved on quickly from guys that would have normally been on the 90 man roster throughout camp.

Hall suffered a torn ACL on the final play of 2019 regular season and was placed on injured reserve after a strong preseason last summer.

Gibson seems like he’s been with the Eagles for 10 years, but with the retooling of the skill positions, he and Marcus Green were obvious cut choices, as was Albert Huggins and Tremon Smith.

The Eagles roster now sits at 82 players plus DE Matt Leo, (a roster-exempt player) as training camp is officially underway.

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 just announced the signing of Tremon Smith to the practice squad.

Smith was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He played in 14 games, recorded five combined tackles, and became a special teams ace at punt returner.

Smith spent 2019 Training Camp with the Chiefs before being waived and then claimed by the Green Bay Packers, where he played in seven games.

After claiming Tyler Ervin, Packers release KR/PR Tremon Smith

The Packers are swapping out Tremon Smith for newcomer Tyler Ervin.

The roster move that will clear the way for newcomer Tyler Ervin was announced by the Green Bay Packers on Monday.

The team officially released kick and punt returner Tremon Smith.

Smith was the primary returner for the Packers in six games this season. He returned 13 kickoffs for 303 yards and four punts for zero yards. He also fumbled at the end of a punt return on Sunday against the New York Giants.

The Packers originally claimed Smith off of waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 17. He was waived on Oct. 14, signed back to the practice squad on Oct. 16 and promoted back to the active roster on Oct. 29.

Ervin, a fourth-round pick of the Houston Texans in 2016, has over 1,200 total kick and punt return yards in his four-year NFL career. He will be expected to replace Smith on kick and punt returns if he passes his physical and is officially added to the 53-man roster, a move that could come as early as Tuesday.
