Eagles practice squad news: Uar Bernard and Joshua Weru among 13 official signings
Key Points:
- The Philadelphia Eagles signed 13 players to their practice squad, including notable names like DT Uar Bernard, LB Chance Campbell, and WR Britain Covey, with analysis highlighting their potential roles and development.
- Several players, including Myles Hinton, Cameron Williams, Kapena Gushiken, and Cameron Latu, were claimed off waivers by other teams, preventing them from joining the Eagles' practice squad despite some showing promise.
- Key players like Uar Bernard and Joshua Weru, both 2026 seventh-round picks, were retained on the practice squad, with Bernard likely occupying the international exemption slot, which exempts him from counting against the practice squad limit but makes him ineligible to play this season.
- The Eagles' practice squad includes developmental prospects and depth options across multiple positions, such as Gabe Hall on the defensive line and Dameon Pierce at running back, who is positioned as the fourth RB behind the starters.
- Some notable omissions from the practice squad so far include Deontae Lawson and Zion Wilson, both of whom showed potential during the preseason and could be considered for future inclusion.
