Philadelphia Eagles Roster Cuts: A Running Thread of 2025 Cuts

Like the rest of the National Football League, the Philadelphia Eagles have some decisions to make. The Birds must trim their roster from 90 player to 53 players by Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 PM EDT. Most cuts will be obvious but there’s interesting battles being waged especially in the defensive backfield.

Stay right here for the latest Eagles roster cuts as the Birds trim to their 53-man roster ahead of their September 4 opener on Thursday to kick off the NFL’s season against the Dallas Cowboys.

This page will be updated throughout the day as more signings are announced. Check back for updates. Current cut count: 22

OLB Johnson Doesn’t Make The Cut

One of the last cuts, Patrick Johnson just doesn’t have the roster spot available.

Stash The Rookie

Myles Hinton looked awful in the first preseason game and winds up with an injury designation that could see him return.

Another WR Out

The room takes shape as Taylor Morin is waived.

Intriguing UDFA OL and a UDFA WR

Hollin Pierce, many people’s favorite UDFA signing out of Rutgers, has been waived. Ife Adeyi, from Sam Huston, is also out.

Drafted Receiver Out

Ainias Smith is being waived. He’s had an unimpressive two years with the team as a receiver, but did make a few plays as a return man.

UDFA Linebacker

Lance Dixon is being waived – Andrew DiCecco reports he could be a practice squad candidate.

Two More Defenders Waived

Veteran Ochaun Mathis, signed to the practice squad last November, and DB AJ Woods are being waived.

Sam Being Waived

Andre’ Sam, who spent all of last season with the Eagles, is being waived. Andrew DiCecco reports that the team is hoping to get him onto their practice squad once again.

Veteran Receivers Waived

Terrace Marshall will be waived along with Elijah Cook. Both had injury concerns – Marshall was promising early in camp but got injured before the first preseason game while Cooks got injured during that first game.

UDFA Safety Out

The Birds will be parting ways with Maxen Hook. Hook was an undrafted Toledo defender, making up a pretty sizeable Rockets group in camp for the defense. He seemed like a player that could go the Reed Blankenship route, so it wouldn’t be a surprise for the team to look for him on the practice squad to try and continue that development.

Another UDFA Running Back Waived

ShunDerrick Powell, an intriguing prospect from Central Arkansas, is being waived. It honestly did not seem like there was too much of a competition after the position following A.J. Dillon’s performance in the first preseason game.

Another Tight End Gone

Nick Muse has been waived by the team.

Depth Corner Out

Eli Ricks is being waived following two seasons where he appeared in 23 games. He was highly-touted for an undrafted rookie and spent a lot of time with the team, so is a somewhat surprising cut but an option for the practice squad.

Waiver Claim Left Without A Spot

Keilan Robinson, claimed off waivers a few months back, is being waived.

Rookie QB Out

The Eagles are releasing Kyle McCord after poor performance in the preseason games, though he is a candidate for the practice squad.

EJ Jenkins and Montrell Johnson Jr. Out

The Eagles will reportedly part with the tight end, who has a good shot at rejoining the team’s practice squad if he clears waivers. They will also part with the undrafted running back.

Not A Stoutland U Graduate

The Birds will waive Kenyon Green, which is a very bad sign for the career trajectory of a promising player that didn’t impress Jeff Stoutland enough to keep around.  He had been acquired in the CJ Gardner-Johnson trade this offseason.

Eagles Part With Veteran QB

The Eagles waived veteran Dorian Thompson-Robinson on Sunday. The team had acquired him as part of the Kenny Pickett trade, but it just didn’t work out.
