Philadelphia cut Terrace Marshall Jr., Elijah Cooks, and Ainias Smith, with the waiver moves highlighting depth behind the top four. If Smith clears waivers, Philadelphia may stash him on the practice squad, per Jeff McLane. Darius Cooper’s roster chances loom as the undrafted rookie battles for a spot behind AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, and John Metchie III, a group that remains the fantasy focal point for the Eagles.

Philadelphia Eagles training camp has reached its fifth day, marked by their first fully padded practice. The session highlighted the performance of rookie Jihaad Campbell, who took advantage of the absence of defensive players Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean, showcasing his skills both in run defense and pass coverage.

Injuries continue to be a concern for the Eagles, with Baun and Nolan Smith out due to injuries sustained earlier in the week. Additionally, Jalen Carter and rookie Andrew Mukuba have also been dealing with injuries, raising questions about the overall depth of the Eagles' defense as they prepare for their preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Elijah Cook has emerged as an intriguing candidate for a roster spot, standing out among a group of receivers vying for limited positions. Cook’s size and physical presence may give him an edge over other players viewed as more likely to earn roster spots, allowing him to carve out a role on the team.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are bolstering their wide receiver corps after Gabe Davis suffered a season-ending injury. They have elevated Elijah Cooks from the practice squad ahead of their game against the Houston Texans.

Cooks, who joined the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent in 2023, has seen limited action but is expected to take on a larger role. With both Davis and Christian Kirk sidelined, the team is looking for players like Cooks to step up and fill the void.
