Kyle McCord, Eagles sixth-round QB, was waived after the preseason finale vs Jets, three days after Philadelphia traded for Sam Howell. McCord started and played every snap but struggled (15/35, pick on an aggressive deep throw) and appeared NFL-ready only intermittently. With Tanner McKee sidelined by a finger injury and Howell now in the mix, the Eagles moved quickly to cut McCord and several depth players, signaling a leaner 53-man picture and possible practice-squad targets, while other cuts like Eli Ricks, Elijah Cooks, Terrace Marshall and Kenyon Green reduce roster depth at corner and receiver.
