The Eagles open a roster spot by waiving Kenyon Green as they push for a stronger edge presence after Za’Darius Smith signing last Friday. Early returns on the team’s pass rush looked tepid in the season opener, so Smith’s addition is a clear upgrade bet that should sharpen Philadelphia’s pressure packages in Week 2 against Kansas City.

Concurrent moves reshape the RB picture as Saquon Barkley’s New York Giants loom in Week 2 and Will Shipley suffers a rib injury. Audric Estime was added to the practice squad as a potential internal option, while Ben VanSumeren landed on IR after a season-ending knee injury. The Texans-Gardner-Johnson swap helped financials and opened guard competition with Tyler Steen in the mix for a starting spot.
