The Eagles locked in a 53-man roster but plan to scour waivers for upgrades without sacrificing assets. Eight of ten 2025 draftees were kept; Kyle McCord and Antwaun Powell-Ryland were cut, Myles Hinton landed on IR with a chance to return. Ainias Smith flashed as a return option but was waived, leaving a path to the practice squad or other opportunities.

With Week 1 near, Howie Roseman will lean on the waiver market to bolster depth, especially for return duties and special teams. The move-heavy slice of roster-building preserves a high floor while keeping the ceiling open for late cuts and opportunistic signings.
