Eagles Claim Released Jaguars Running Back Keilan Robinson

The Philadelphia Eagles claimed running back and kick returner Keilan Robinson off waivers after the Jacksonville Jaguars released him following a regime change. Robinson, a fifth-round pick in 2024, missed much of his rookie season due to a toe injury and saw limited offensive snaps, primarily contributing on special teams. Despite being buried on the depth chart behind established backs like Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby in Jacksonville, Robinson showed promise as a versatile player with strong special teams skills and college experience at Alabama and Texas. The Eagles, known for reviving careers of overlooked players, are interested in leveraging Robinson's speed and special teams potential, especially as they seek to fill return duties after losing Britain Covey. While Robinson has yet to make a significant impact, the Eagles hope his fresh start will allow him to carve out a niche on their roster. This move reflects Philadelphia's strategy of taking fliers on players with untapped potential to bolster their depth and special teams.
