Everything Eagles Green

The Philadelphia Eagles were allowed to sign players to their practice squad beginning on Sunday at noon.

That has yet to happen, or at least no signings have yet to be announced.

Why does this matter?

Well, some of the players the Eagles cut on Saturday will more than likely be signed to the practice squad, which is vital to a team’s success.

Practice squad players are allowed to do just that, practice with the 53-man roster everday. They learn the offensive and defensive schemes but aren’t allowed to play in a game.

They are there in case of injuries or player releases. If the Eagles need to replace an injured player who has been placed on injured reserve or fill a roster spot because of a release, management can sign a player to the active roster from the practice squad.

Players on the practice squad develop their talents and understanding of the team’s playbook while waiting for the big call. There are eight spots on each team’s practice squad roster.

Once the signings are announced we will have all eight players listed here with their position and whether or not they where with the Eagles in training camp.
