The Philadelphia Eagles are waiving depth offensive lineman Trevor Keegan, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.
Keegan’s inclusion on the Birds’ initial 53-man roster was curious. We mentioned as much on Tuesday:
Trevor Keegan making the roster is a surprise. The Eagles weren’t ready to give up on the 2024 draft pick despite him having a shaky summer. Keegan struggled snapping the ball when the Eagles got him reps as a center.
Does Keegan’s departure indicate the Eagles feel good about making a waiver wire claim (despite being dead last in the order as reigning Super Bowl champions)? Or does Howie Roseman have another trade cooking?
We’ll see.
For now, the Eagles are down to 10 offensive linemen on their roster. Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, Tyler Steen, and Lane Johnson are the starters. Fred Johnson, Brett Toth, and Matt Pryor will likely be active on game day as backups. Drew Kendall and Cameron Williams could be healthy scratches as rookies.
The Eagles are also down to six picks remaining from their 2024 NFL Draft class. The team cut Dylan McMahon last year and they waived Ainais Smith on Tuesday. It’s possible Smith and/or Keegan will return to Philly on the practice squad. But clearly those Day 3 picks haven’t panned out quite the way that the Eagles hoped they might.
