Eagles to place Ainias Smith on injured reserve
As the Eagles finalize their 53-man roster ahead of the 4 p.m. deadline, rookie receiver Ainias Smith is headed to injured reserve according to a league source confirming a PHLY report.
The fifth-round pick out of Texas A&M reported discomfort in his ankle and hamstring after participating in the team’s preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings last Saturday, according to an NFL Network report. Smith reportedly had an MRI scheduled on Monday and the early indication is he’ll miss 4-6 weeks with an ankle injury that will land him on IR.

Will James Bradberry make the Eagles 53-man roster?
It might be wishful thinking, and I usually don’t care much about the Eagles’ roster, but I’d love to see James Bradberry remain on the squad after cut-down day Tuesday. I’d like to see him start every game alongside C.J. Gardner-Johnson, find his footing, and play out the two years left on his contract.
It’s an unlikely outcome, considering Bradberry’s pedestrian play this preseason in his effort to convert from cornerback to safety — after eight years in the NFL, and at the age of 31. But I can wish.
Cornerback Zech McPhearson says goodbye to Philly
It looks like Zech McPhearson won't be back with the Eagles for a fourth season.
The fourth-year defender out of Texas Tech thanked Philly and its fans on social media Monday, ahead of the NFL's deadline for teams to trim their rosters down to 53 players.
All eyes on Howie Roseman ahead of the deadline
The Eagles began the process of whittling their roster down to 53 players after Saturday’s preseason finale vs. the Vikings.
A year ago, the team held two practices ahead of the Tuesday 4 p.m. deadline, which allowed bubble roster players to make a last impression. The Eagles had no such workouts scheduled this year.
'I know I’ll fit right in': New Eagles WR Jahan Dotson ready for the season to start
Since Jahan Dotson arrived in Philly last week in a trade with the Washington Commanders, he’s been studying the playbook with the help of receivers coach Aaron Moorehead, including the morning before Saturday's preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. He had another session with his position coach scheduled for later that night, all in an effort to prepare him to dive into game action with the season beginning in less than two weeks.
“I want to get on the field right away, so I’m going to do everything possible in my power to make sure that I’m ready when that opportunity comes,” Dotson said.
