The Philadelphia Eagles formally introduced 4 transactions late Tuesday afternoon. Right here’s an outline:
WR Danny Grey and DB A.J. Woods have been signed to the follow squad.
WR Griffin Hebert and LB Brandon Smith have been launched from the follow squad.
Let’s type via this information on a player-by-player foundation.
DANNY GRAY
Grey, 25, initially entered the league as a third-round choose (No. 105 general) by the San Francisco 49ers within the 2022 NFL Draft.
As a rookie, Grey was the 49ers’ main receiver within the preseason with 4 catches for 123 yards and one landing. Right here’s that spotlight:
Within the common season, Grey performed simply 87 offensive snaps and 19 particular groups snaps. He logged a single reception on seven targets for 10 yards. He additionally had one carry go for 9 yards.
Grey didn’t play in 2023 after being positioned on injured reserve previous to the season. Grey had only one catch for 13 yards this summer season earlier than the 49ers determined to waive him.
The Eagles appear to really feel like Grey nonetheless has some untapped potential. Grey is now considered one of 4 receivers on the follow squad behind the 5 receivers on the crew’s energetic roster.
(Facet word: did the Eagles just like the 49ers’ 2022 draft class or what? They now have Grey and Tyrion Davis-Worth on their follow squad. Additionally they unsuccessfully tried to say Samuel Womack off waivers.)
A.J. WOODS
The Eagles now have an A.J. Woods and a JT Woods on their follow squad. And so they’re each defensive backs. Go determine.
A.J. Woods performed cornerback at Pitt earlier than signing with the Washington Commanders as an undrafted rookie free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft. The Commanders waived him of their cuts down from 90 to 53 gamers.
GRIFFIN HEBERT
Hebert has bounced on and off the crew because the Eagles initially signed him final December.
BRANDON SMITH
A little bit stunned to see Smith go. He may’ve made the roster in different years when the Eagles have been a lot weaker at linebacker. I assume the Eagles’ willingness to let him go alerts that Devin White’s damage isn’t too severe?
In case you missed it, the Eagles additionally misplaced follow squad middle Dylan McMahon to the Los Angeles Rams, who signed him to their roster earlier on Tuesday.
The Eagles nonetheless have one follow squad spot open.
