Carson Steele - Reaches injury settlement with Philadelphia
sleeper-rotowire+8 stories · 30dSource unavailable
The Eagles waived Steele (shoulder) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Steele was waived/injured last week due to a shoulder injury and ultimately ended up on IR. That could have ended his season, but by reaching an injury settlement, the UCLA product will now be able to seek work with another team once he's healthy. Steele played primarily on special teams during his two games with the Eagles this season, though he did log three offensive snaps and caught one of two targets for four yards

Dameon Pierce Could Play No. 2 Role Vs. Cowboys, But Still Has Value
Dameon Pierce stepped into a larger role for the Eagles due to multiple injuries at running back, seeing significant snaps. Despite low efficiency, he scored a touchdown and added receptions. With Saquon Barkley potentially returning, Pierce is expected to move to a No. 2 role. However, given the Cowboys' weak run defense, Pierce may still hold some touchdown-dependent fantasy value

Carson Steele - Reverts to IR
sleeper-rotowire+8 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Steele (shoulder) reverted to the Eagles' injured reserve Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction list. Steele played just 12 snaps (three on offense, nine on special teams) for the Eagles in Week 6 before exiting with a dislocated shoulder and then being waived with an injury designation Tuesday. The 24-year-old joins fellow running backs Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and Will Shipley (foot) on IR. Dameon Pierce is the only healthy running back on the roster at the moment, although Saquon Barkley was also present at practice Thursday and is a candidate to return for Week 7 after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury

Carson Steele - Waived/injured by Philadelphia
sleeper-rotowire+8 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Steele (shoulder) was waived/injured by the Eagles on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Steele suffered a shoulder injury during the team's loss to the Panthers in Week 6, and he will now revert to injured reserve with Philadelphia if he goes unclaimed on waivers. The running back played three snaps on offense and nine snaps with the special-teams unit versus Carolina, reeling in one of two targets for four yards. In a corresponding move, the Eagles signed Elijah Mitchell to the practice squad Tuesday

Eagles Waive Running Back Carson Steele on Tuesday
The Philadelphia Eagles waived running back Carson Steele (shoulder) on Tuesday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Steele played in just his second game for the Eagles this year with Saquon Barkley (hamstring) missing a second straight game and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and Will Shipley (foot) on Injured Reserve, but he handled just one catch on two targets for four yards before suffering a shoulder injury and never returning in the Week 6 loss to the visiting Carolina Panthers. The 23-year-old former undrafted free agent from UCLA did not have a single offensive touch in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Oct. 11. If Steele goes unclaimed on waivers, which is a good possibility because he is also injured, he will revert to Philly's IR. After the Eagles waived both Steele and Jaydon Blue, they added Elijah Mitchell to their practice squad. Mitchell could be brought up to the active roster for Monday night's game against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys if Barkley is forced to sit for a third straight game

Eagles Sign Elijah Mitchell to Practice Squad
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed running back Elijah Mitchell to their practice squad, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Signing Mitchell was just one of a series of moves the Eagles made in their backfield, as the team also waived running backs Jaydon Blue and Carson Steele (shoulder) from their active roster and Ian Wheeler from their practice squad. Eagles RB1 Saquon Barkley (hamstring) has missed each of the team's last two games, while top reserves Tank Bigsby (core) and Will Shipley (foot) are both on Injured Reserve. As a result, Dameon Pierce was Philly's lead back in Week 6. However, the Eagles' maneuvering on Tuesday could indicate that the team is confident in Barkley returning in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys. If Barkley remains sidelined, Mitchell could join Pierce as a potential backfield option against Dallas

Eagles sign RB Jaydon Blue to active roster with Jalen Hurts officially on IR
The Eagles announced the move to place quarterback Jalen Hurts to injured reserve on Saturday afternoon and they also made a move to fill the open space on their 53-man roster. Running back Jaydon Blue has been signed off of the practice squad. Blue signed with the Eagles after being cut by the Cowboys at the end of the summer. Blue was a fifth-round pick in Dallas in 2025. He had 38 carries for 129 yards and a touchdown in five appearances during his rookie season. With Saquon Barkley ruled out and two other backs on injured reserve, Blue will join Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele as the available running backs against the Panthers on Sunday. The Eagles also announced that they have elevated linebacker Keyshawn James-Newby and safety Cole Wisniewski from the practice squad for Sunday’s game

Eagles sign RB Carson Steele, C Jake Majors to active roster
The Eagles’ long injury report led them to make a handful of roster moves on Friday afternoon. As previously reported , they have released quarterback Andy Dalton. Tanner McKee and rookie Cole Payton remain on hand as backups to Jalen Hurts. The Eagles signed running back Carson Steele and center Jake Majors to the active roster from the practice squad. They also placed defensive tackle Uar Bernard on the practice squad injured reserve list. Steele will help fill in for the injured Saquon Barkley. He ran 56 times for 183 yards while with the Chiefs in 2024. Majors joins an offensive line that was shaken up by Lane Johnson’s retirement and the trade of Cam Jurgens this week. They also ruled center Drew Kendall out with a knee injury, so Majors could be called into action against the Jaguars on Sunday

Eagles Minicamp Practice Notes: Defense ahead of offense thus far
The Philad e lphia Eagles held the first of two minicamp practices on Tuesday and I was at the NovaCare Jefferson Health Training Complex to watch the action unfold. Here’s what I observed! ATTENDANCE UPDATES ABSENT: Unlike voluntary OTAs, it’s mandatory to attend minicamp. The only player absent was Joe Tryon-Shoyinka . It’s currently unclear whether his absence was approved or if he’s subject to fines by not attending. The cost for missing Day 1 is $17,986. NOTABLY PRESENT: Lane Johnson and Jalen Carter were at practice after missing the Eagles’ two media-attended OTA practices over the past two weeks. INJURY UPDATES DID NOT PARTICIPATE Makai Lemon ( hamstring ) did not practice, as expected. Assuming he’s out again on Wednesday, which seems like a safe bet, the Eagles’ first-round pick will have missed at least four of the team’s eight total spring practices. Hardly the end of the world but not ideal. Jihaad Campbell , Grant Calcaterra , Britain Covey , Carson Steele , Chandler Martin , and Tucker Large attended practice but did not participate. Campbell, Martin, and Large were doing some rehab work off to the side while the rest of the team practiced. LIMITED PARTICIPATION Jalen Carter did not participate in team drills. Is he not 100% recovered from injury? Is the team just being extra cautious? Is this a “hold” in situation? Jonathan Greenard , Cole Wisniewski, and Drew Kendall also took part in position drills but not team drills. JALEN HURTS UPDATE: Hurts wasn’t very sharp today. Early in 7-on-7, a downfield target to DeVonta Smith with Riq Woolen trailing was overthrown and incomplete. Hurts missed a crossing DeVonta over the middle with an inaccurate pass. Hurts to DeVonta was incomplete yet again on a play where it looked like there was a tight window for the wide receiver to get the ball between Woolen and Smael Mondon Jr. Hurts was guilty of holding the ball too long on some reps to get “sacked.” One such instance might’ve wiped out what ended up being a completion to E.J. Jenkins over the middle that Hurts made by throwing against his body while rolling right. Good play if it counted, which it might not have. I wouldn’t put all of the offense’s struggles on Hurts; they’re just clearly behind the defense, which is to be expected since 1) Vic Fangio is really good, 2) it’s not unusual for defenses to be ahead of offenses at this time of year, and 3) the defense is in the third year of their system while the offense is new. Still lots of kinks to iron out. Can’t recall many, if any, times that Woolen or Quinyon Mitchell have given up catches this spring. It seems to me that Hurts is targeting Saquon Barkley more often than he has in the past. This isn’t the first offseason in recent years where some have wondered if passing to the running back could be a bigger part of the offense, so, you have to take these observations with a grain of salt. But maybe it’s truly different this time?! Barkley doesn’t have the best hands but he is very effective with the ball in them in terms of yards after catch potential. Should be a bigger part of the offense than not at all. BACKUP QUARTERBACK BATTLE (?): The Eagles have held three media-attended spring practices and Andy Dalton has been QB2 for all of them. It sure seems like Tanner McKee has been demoted to QB3. If Dalton goes up directly after Hurts again tomorrow, we’ll have even more confirmation. I don’t really get it, to be honest. Dalton obviously has more starting experience in the NFL but McKee has shown legitimate promise and I think it’s worth fostering that potential, not pushing him down the depth chart as he enters a contract year. On that note, I thought McKee looked like the better quarterback on Tuesday. McKee ripped a ball over the middle to Elijah Moore in stride for a first down and more. He found Hollywood Brown (twice, including a real tight window throw) and Samori Toure for touchdown connections. Dalton, meanwhile, got picked off by Jalyx Hu [... truncated ...]
