PHILADELPHIA – Moves are beginning to trickle in for the Eagles in advance of Tuesday afternoon’s cutdown deadline.
Keep it here for a running look at the Eagles’ roster moves:
TUESDAY:
2:19 – The Eagles are waiving versatile DB who cross-trained at safety and nickel back this summer. He also was a key special-teamer lasts season but lost his job as a punt gunner late.
The #Eagles are waiving special teams ace/defensive back Andre Chachere, per league source. He could have interest on the wire as a gunner.

2:14 – The numbers game was too tough for WR Deon Cain, who had a nice summer overall.
Eagles releasing WR Deon Cain, per source. Had a strong preseason so will have options.

2:08 – The Eagles are waiving versatile interior OL Jack Anderson, according to a league source. Philadelphia would like to bring Anderson back to the PS if he clears waivers.
12:05 – Eagles CB Tay Gowan seems to be confirming he will hit the waiver wire.
God has a plan for me .

11:53 – The Eagles are waiving second-year CB Mac McCain, who received a lot of second-team reps on the outside opposite Zech McPhearson before slowly falling behind undrafted rookie Josh Jobe.
The Eagles have waived CB Mac McCain III, per source.
McCain began training camp working opposite Zech McPhearson with the second-team defense.

11:33 – The Eagles are waiving Olympic hurdler Devon Allen, whose last-ditch effort to make the team with an impressive performance on special teams in the preseason finale was too little, too late. Allen would be an obvious candidate for the PS unless he wants to go back to concentrating on his track career.

11:10 – The Eagles are releasing veteran OT Le’Raven Clark.
Eagles are releasing OT- Le’Raven Clark. Cowboys’ OL coach Joe Philbin helped draft Clark in Indianapolis and Dallas does have a need at OT.

11:07 – And here is why the Eagles moved on from Harris. Howie Roseman has his starter opposite Marcus Epps on the back end, acquiring Chauncey Gardner-Johnson from the New Orleans Saints. CRJ often played the nickel for Saints and will now settle in as a starting safety with Philadelphia.
Shocker: The #Saints are trading DB Chauncey Gardner-Johnson to the #Eagles, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. After extension talks broke down, the focus shifted from keeping Gardner-Johnson to trading him. Philly lands a starter. pic.twitter.com/k6bxvziA84

11:05 – In the first wow moment, the Eagles are releasing projected starting safety Anthony Harris.

10:52: The Eagles will be waiving undrafted free agent CB Mario Goodrich. Much was made of the three-man UDFA class at the position with Josh Jobe ultimately turning out as the best and a candidate for the 53-man roster although the Alabama product showed up at practice Monday with a brace on his elbow. Duke slot option Josh Blackwell has also been waived, according to an NFL source. Both are candidates for the practice squad.
The #Eagles are waiving CB Mario Goodrich, source said, who should be headed back to their practice squad if not claimed.

10:19: The Eagles’ are waiving QB3 Reid Sinnett, who had a strong start to the summer but faltered late. Nick Sirianni indicated last week that he’s comfortable with two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster and the odds are that Sinnett will be able to get through waivers and return to the practice squad. Philadelphia will also surely check the waiver wire for potential upgrades. Minnesota is waiving 2021 third-round pick Kellen Mond, who has interesting traits but faltered badly with the Vikings.
The #Eagles waived QB Reid Sinnett, per source. He's a practice squad candidate.

9:23 – Momentum is building toward a potential Jalen Reagor trade with multiple teams checking in on what it would take to get the embattled 2020 first-round pick, according to NFL sources. If a trade is not made, Reagor will likely stay on the roster as the WR5 and lead punt returner.
Buzz around the league is that Jalen Reagor’s trade market is heating up. Some teams believe a deal will get done for the #Eagles WR by today’s 4 pm deadline.

MONDAY:
6:00 – The Eagles worked out free agent defensive back Quandre Mosely on Monday, per the NFL’s transaction wire. Mosely, 23, was waived by the Dallas Cowboys last week in the cut to 80 players. Dallas had originally signed Mosely as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Kentucky.
4:59 – Veteran receiver Greg Ward will be released with an injury settlement. His toe injury has kept him out for a number of weeks and still needs time to heal. A leader off the field and yeoman-like player on it, Ward’s fate was sealed when the Eagles brought in Zach Pascal, a player Nick Sirianni reveres for his intangibles. Pascal offers more than Ward as a WR but the team will be losing its insurance policy at punt returner.
Source says that WR Greg Ward will be released and that an injury settlement is in the works. Ward's lower body injury required 4 to 5 weeks of recovery, where Ward will look to land with a team after that.

3:21 – Veteran TE Richard Rodgers is gone for now but another sequel is never far off. Rodgers had clearly fallen behind Jack Stoll, rookie Grant Calcaterra and Noah Togiai in the race to be a potential backup to Dallas Goedert.
The Eagles have released Richard Rodgers, according to a source. There is a good chance the Eagles may bring him back.
— Chris Franklin (@cfranklinnews) August 29, 2022
12:48 – The Eagles are waiving former Cincinnati fourth-round draft pick Renell Wren. The big man couldn’t gain his footing in a deep DT room which features Fletcher Cox, Javon Hargrave, Jordan Davis, Milton Williams, Marlon Tuipulotu, and Marvin Wilson.
#Eagles also waived DT Renell Wren.

12:41 – The Eagles originally cut Josh Blackwell, an UDFA out of Duke in the cut from 85 to 80 and quickly brought him back after the trade of Ugo Amadi to Tennessee. Blackwell made a few plays in practice in Miami last week. Update: Blackwell was at practice on Monday afternoon after this news broke. He is, however, expected to be waived.

12:12 – The 67-yard touchdown run in the preseason finale wasn’t enough for Jason Huntley, who got plenty of opportunities but just didn’t show the consistency needed.
The #Eagles have informed RB/KR Jason Huntley he will be waived in final cuts, according to a source.
He did this on Saturday: https://t.co/8SgCZuHCRR

12:04 – The biggest bonus baby is this year’s undrafted free agent class, QB Carson Strong, is out. Strong rarely got reps in practice and threw just four passes in the preseason.

11:58 – Former Eagles special teams star Rudy Ford is out in Jacksonville and the Eagles still need a gunner in punt coverage to give them what Ford did when he was healthy.
#Jaguars are releasing safety and special teams ace Rudy Ford, source said. Had a role last year on defense and the new coaching staff only viewed him in ST role. Multiple teams attempted a trade but his $2M salary was prohibitive and he’s now available on open market.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 29, 2022
11:56 – In a devastating blow to me personally, the Eagles are moving on from veteran safety Jaquiski Tartt, who never seemed to fit in with what the coaches wanted after arriving late as a free agent.
#Eagles are releasing veteran S Jaquiski Tartt, source said.
— Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) August 29, 2022
11:51 – The Eagles need an inside move-the chains type and Alexander Mattison would be a nice complement to Miles Sanders. The new Minnesota coaching staff prefers more multiple backs and wants to keep rookie Ty Chandler on the roster.
Some chatter on #Vikings RB Alexander Mattison, I'm told per league sources, while Minnesota isn't actively shopping him, the team is certainly listening to offers. #NFL
— Matt Lombardo 🏈 (@MattLombardoNFL) August 29, 2022
11:28 – The Eagles are moving on from veteran center Cameron Tom, who played all 65 offensive snaps in Saturday night’s preseason finale against Miami. Philadelphia is well-stocked at the position with veteran All-Pro Jason Kelce and impressive second-round rookie Cam Jurgens. The versatile Jack Anderson can also play the positive as well as Brett Toth, who is currently on the PUP list while rehabbing from a torn ACL.
