The Philadelphia Eagles waived depth offensive guard Kenyon Green on Saturday afternoon, according to an official team announcement.
The Eagles originally acquired Green in March by trading C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans. The 2022 first-round pick struggled to impress this offseason, leading to the Eagles waiving him on August 26.
Green signed to Philly’s practice squad on August 27. Then the Eagles promoted him to the roster on August 31 after putting Willie Lampkin on injured reserve. Green was a healthy scratch behind eight active offensive linemen in Week 1.
One would think the Eagles wouldn’t be waiving Green if they were seriously worried about Landon Dickerson, who left Thursday night’s game early due to injury.
One would also think that the Eagles have another roster move coming now that they have an open spot to work with.
Some options there include:
- Signing a starting caliber cornerback since Adoree’ Jackson continues to struggle. Asante Samuel Jr. reportedly won’t be ready to play until the second half of the regular season. Stephon Gilmore is out there, though he turns 35 this month. Kendall Fuller has 104 games of starting experience
- Signing a fullback since Ben VanSumeren is now out for the season. Khari Blasingame remains unsigned.
- Signing someone from their practice squad (Marcus Epps? Britain Covey?) to the roster.
We’ll soon see what the Birds end up doing.
