Eagles Make Roster Moves Ahead of Falcons Game

Ahead of their home opener against the Atlanta Falcons, the Philadelphia Eagles made several roster moves due to injuries, particularly to receiver A.J. Brown who is sidelined with a hamstring issue. The team elevated offensive lineman Nick Gates, receiver Parris Campbell, and tight end E.J. Jenkins from the practice squad to bolster their roster. With Brown out and another receiver, Johnny Wilson, questionable, the Eagles needed to ensure they had enough healthy players, prompting these adjustments. Gates will serve as the backup center, while Campbell, who has experience but missed training camp with an injury, is expected to step in as the third receiver. The Eagles also waived linebacker Patrick Johnson, who could return to the practice squad if he clears waivers. These moves reflect the team's strategy to maintain depth and competitive readiness despite injury challenges.
