Three Eagles rookies land on PFF's Preseason All-Rookie Team: Andrew Mukuba, Willie Lampkin, and Antwaun Powell-Ryland, signaling a rookie wave with immediate and depth contributions for Philadelphia. Mukuba stands out with a 95.7 on-field grade and quick-step path to starts, while Lampkin, though undersized, has the talking points and play to push for early opportunities before a reported IR status. Powell-Ryland is the athletic edge to monitor, a name that could buoy the pass rush if called upon. The piece also highlights Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown anchoring the secondary, giving the Eagles a seasoned backbone paired with youth as they chase another Lombardi.

The Eagles reshaped their practice squad again, adding Audric Estime and Ambry Thomas while releasing Eli Ricks and Terrace Marshall. Willie Lampkin moved to injured reserve to open a 53-man spot. Estime, a 2024 fifth-rounder from Notre Dame, brings big-back depth with rookie-season production to spare. Thomas adds veteran CB depth after a versatile career. Philadelphia also eyes Javon Baker for the PS, while discussions hinge on promoting Andre’ Sam or Marcus Epps at safety as the position gets lean. Castro-Fields’ injury settlement closes a chapter on a prior depth piece.

Quicks moves like these signal the Eagles’ ongoing, opportunistic roster churn aimed at staying flexible into September. The defense and special-teams cores gain depth, while the offense keeps options open behind a primary lineup. Expect the PS to fuel a few 53-man shuffles, with a likely elevation if Baker passes, and safeties Sam or Epps stepping in if rookie Drew Mukuba remains limited by hamstring issues.
