The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced five roster moves on Friday afternoon. Here\u2019s an overview:<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.<\/p>\n
The Eagles claimed Lampkin off waivers<\/a><\/strong> from the Los Angeles Rams earlier this week. Lampkin was cut by the Rams with a \u201cwaived\/injured\u201d designation due to the knee injury he suffered in the preseason. Lampkin reportedly indicated<\/a> that his injury isn\u2019t too serious and that he\u2019ll be able to be \u201cback soon.\u201d<\/p>\n By going on IR, Lampkin is automatically ineligible to play in the Eagles\u2019 first four games. He can be activated as early as Week 5, if the Eagles choose to use one of their seven remaining designated for return slots on him. We\u2019ll eventually see if that\u2019s the case.<\/p>\n Lampkin to IR notably opens up a roster spot for the Eagles. The recently re-signed Marcus Epps stands out as the top candidate for that opening since the team currently only has three safeties on the active roster and one of them (Andrew Mukuba) is dealing with a hamstring injury. Britain Covey is another candidate to be signed but it seems like the Eagles can probably get away with temporarily elevating him to be the punt returner for a few weeks before later adding him to the roster, if so desired.<\/p>\n The Eagles waived Ricks earlier this week only to bring him back on the practice squad. Once a promising undrafted rookie free agent signing in 2023, Ricks thereafter struggled to establish a role on the team. He was mostly a healthy scratch as the team\u2019s seventh cornerback in 2024. He had some good moments this summer but the bad ones outweighed those to the point where he was demoted on the depth chart. And now he\u2019s been replaced by Ambry Thomas.<\/p>\n Marshall had some good moments in spring practices and early in training camp before suffering an injury that derailed his summer. He never recovered from that and was ultimately outshined by UDFA signing Darius Cooper, who made the roster over him. Marshall\u2019s lack of special teams experience doesn\u2019t do him any favors in terms of being a depth player. The Eagles are reportedly expected to sign wide receiver Javon Baker to the practice squa<\/a><\/strong>d, though that move wasn\u2019t made official here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced five roster moves on Friday afternoon.
