Eagles sign second long snapper with Charley Hughlett limited in practice

In response to long snapper Charley Hughlett's recent inclusion on the practice injury report due to a neck injury, the Philadelphia Eagles have taken proactive measures by signing Christian Johnstone. This move adds depth to the snapper position as the Eagles waiver defensive back BJ Mayes to make room for him on the roster. Johnstone brings experience from his previous five seasons at the professional level, providing the Eagles with a reliable option should Hughlett's condition hinder his ability to play.

How might the Eagles adjust their offensive strategy with a new long snapper?What historical data should we consider regarding long snappers in the NFL?How does Hughlett's injury compare to typical long snapper injuries?What are the potential ramifications if Hughlett's injury lingers?

Eagles sign long snapper Christian Johnstone and waive BJ Mayes
The Philadelphia Eagles have made roster moves, signing long snapper Christian Johnstone while waiving defensive back BJ Mayes. Johnstone, who went undrafted in 2025 after five seasons at Appalachian State, previously participated in the Broncos' rookie mini camp. His addition is timely as the Eagles prepare for their preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, with Charlie Hughlett as the only other long snapper on the roster. These changes are part of the Eagles' effort to solidify their special teams ahead of the upcoming season.

Which Texas A&M football players are agreeing to UDFA deals after 2025 NFL draft?

Following the NFL Draft, Texas A&M players are quickly making their mark in the professional ranks as undrafted free agents (UDFAs). Among those securing opportunities, wide receiver Jahdae Walker signed with the Chicago Bears and linebacker Solomon DeShields headed to the Indianapolis Colts. Additionally, defensive back BJ Mayes joins the Philadelphia Eagles, while tight end Tre Watson looks to make an impact with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad III has also signed with the Carolina Panthers, and defensive back Jaydon Hill received a rookie camp invite from the New York Giants. Tight end Shane Calhoun will be joining DeShields at the Colts for a camp invite. Texas A&M's depth in the draft is further highlighted by the notable selections of defensive end Shemar Stewart by the Cincinnati Bengals and defensive linemen Nic Scourton and Shemar Turner by the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears, respectively.

What can the recent draft selections mean for Texas A&M's football program going forward?How do collegiate players adapt to the NFL after being drafted or signing as UDFAs?How has the NFL Draft changed over the years regarding UDFAs?What trends are emerging in the NFL regarding player development for UDFAs?

NFL draft: Colts hosting SEC cornerback on 30 visit

The Indianapolis Colts are focusing on bolstering their secondary by hosting Texas A&M cornerback BJ Mayes for a pre-draft visit, a critical step in their scouting process. Measuring 6-1 and 195 pounds, Mayes has shown promise throughout his college career, excelling in tackling and run defense metrics. His recent performance at UAB highlighted a completion rate of just 51% against him, showcasing his ability to break up passes and contribute as a ball hawk with two interceptions. The Colts' secondary has been upgraded this offseason with the signings of Charvarius Ward and Corey Ballentine, but they are keen on further developing talent for future depth.

How will BJ Mayes impact the Colts' secondary if drafted?What will the Colts' cornerback rotation look like this season?What are the Colts' biggest draft needs for the upcoming season?How does BJ Mayes' playing style fit into the Colts' defensive scheme?
