In what was surely their most impactful roster move on Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys claimed former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Trevor Keegan off waivers.
The Eagles kept Keegan, one of their three 2024 fifth-round picks, on their initial 53-man roster before waiving him on Wednesday. The Eagles waived both Keegan and Tristin McCollum to make room for claiming Willie Lampkin off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams and re-signing long snapper Charley Hughlett. Both Keegan (by Dallas) and McCollum (by the Las Vegas Raiders) were claimed. Otherwise, they could’ve been candidates to return on the practice squad.
It was surprising to see that the Eagles initially kept Keegan since he was a healthy scratch for all but one game last season and he didn’t perform well in practices and preseason games this summer.
Still, Keegan is 25-year-old offensive lineman who once played for the national champion Michigan Wolverines. The Cowboys are of the belief he can help improve their depth.
The Los Angeles Chargers were also reportedly interested in claiming Keegan. No surprise there since Keegan’s former head coach — Jim Harbaugh — is in charge of the Bolts.
Keegan will return to Philly as a member of the Cowboys when the Eagles host Dallas next Thursday in the NFL Kickoff Game.
Micah Parsons will not be there since the Cowboys traded him to the Green Bay Packers.
