The Eagles finished off their 17-man practice squad on Tuesday, adding four more names and leaving one spot tied to the international exemption.
The new additions are wide receiver Danny Gray, offensive lineman Kiran Amegadjie, cornerback Robert Longerbeam and running back Jaydon Blue. Philadelphia had already announced the first 13 players on Monday afternoon, and with Tuesday’s moves the unit is now complete.
Gray is the only one of the four who spent training camp with the Eagles. The former 49ers third-round pick has been with Philadelphia since 2024, but he hasn’t appeared in an NFL game since his rookie year in 2022. He also missed time in camp because of a concussion.
The other three are all former draft picks from elsewhere, the kind of players teams bring in when they want another long look at traits they once liked. Longerbeam is the newest face of the group.
The Ravens took him in the sixth round of the 2025 draft out of Rutgers, but he has not played in a regular-season game. At 5-11 and 174 pounds, he spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury in August.
Longerbeam started three years at Rutgers and posted a 4.39 at the 2025 Combine. Baltimore eventually let him go with cornerback depth in place for 2026.
Amegadjie came into the league as a Bears third-round pick in 2024. Chicago reportedly explored a trade for him before final cuts, but no deal came together and he was waived.
The Yale product has the kind of athletic profile teams like in a tackle at 6-foot-5 and 326 pounds. It didn’t work out with the Bears, but Philadelphia will now see what it can coax out of him behind the scenes.
Blue arrives from Dallas, where the Cowboys made him a fifth-round pick in the 2025 draft. The 5-foot-9 back ran a 4.38 at the 2025 Combine and brings the speed and quickness that made him an intriguing prospect.
As a rookie, he played in five games and finished with 38 carries for 129 yards and a touchdown. He caught one pass, though his Texas tape showed more in the passing game.
In college, he was buried behind stronger backs, flashed real potential and simply never got a huge workload. He also fell short in his bid to win the Cowboys’ backup job during camp.
Philadelphia also gets an extra practice-squad slot through the international exemption. Uar Bernard is the player officially carrying that label, though it does not come with any added protection. The team could have assigned that designation to Bernard or Joshua Weru.

Howie Roseman Just Sent A Message To The Eagles CB Room
The Eagles added another name to their practice squad mix this week, bringing in former Ravens cornerback Robert Longerbeam as they keep sorting through options in the secondary. Longerbeam was a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and his path has already included a season lost to a torn patellar tendon, which makes this a low-risk, high-upside look for a team that is never shy about churning the bottom of the roster.
Longerbeam was part of a broader wave of additions, with Philadelphia also signing wide receiver Danny Gray, offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie and running back Jaydon Blue. For the cornerback room, the move reinforces how aggressively the Eagles are continuing to collect bodies and competition, leaving the shape of the group very much in flux as the team keeps evaluating who can stick.

Eagles Take A Flier On A Former Cowboys Draft Pick
Jaydon Blues move across the NFC East gives the Eagles another look at a back they once had to plan against, and it comes with a little bit of intrigue for a practice squad spot. The former Cowboys fifth-round pick was one of Dallas depth options last year, and his path through the league has already included real game action after injuries pushed him into the mix.
Blue never quite turned those chances into steady production in Dallas, though, and that inconsistency ultimately left him vulnerable when roster cuts arrived. Philadelphia is taking the chance anyway, adding him to the practice squad and betting that a change of scenery can make the most of a player whose talent has flashed even as his role has remained unsettled.

Eagles Game Day Look Is Sparking A Heated Fan Divide
The Eagles game day presentation has become part of the conversation again, this time for reasons that go well beyond football. The team has included male cheerleaders on its squad since 2019, and by the 2026 season that group had grown to four performers, all of whom go through the same audition process and handle the same demanding routines as the rest of the sideline crew.
A recent home exhibition match brought the issue into sharper focus when a new choreography layout featured one of the male cheerleaders more prominently, setting off a wave of online debate and some fan backlash. For a franchise that puts a premium on every part of the live experience, it has turned into a loud reminder that even the gameday pageantry can become a flashpoint when tradition and change collide.
