Eagles cut 35 players, set 53-man roster for Super Bowl defense

The defending champions have set their initial 53-man roster. The Philadelphia Eagles announced the following moves:

Released:

• LS Charley Hughlett
• LB Patrick Johnson
• OT Kendall Lamm
• WR Terrace Marshall
• CB Parry Nickerson
• WR Avery Williams

Waived:

• WR Ife Adeyi
• LB Chance Campbell
• WR Elijah Cooks
• LB Lance Dixon
• DT Joe Evans
• LB Dallas Gant
• G Kenyon Green
• S Maxen Hook
• TE E.J. Jenkins
• CB Brandon Johnson
• RB Montrell Johnson
• TE Cameron Latu
• LB Ochaun Mathis
• QB Kyle McCord
• WR Taylor Morin
• TE Nick Muse
• OT Hollin Pierce
• RB ShunDerrick Powell
• LB Antwaun Powell-Ryland
• CB Eli Ricks
• DE Jereme Robinson
• RB Keilan Robinson
• DT Justin Rogers
• S Andre Sam
• WR Ainias Smith
• DT Jacob Sykes
• OT Laekin Vakalahi
• CB A.J. Woods

Waived/injured:

• CB Tariq Castro-Fields

Placed on reserve/PUP:

• LB Nakobe Dean

Placed on IR (designated for return):

• OT Myles Hinton

Nakobe Dean is out until at least Week 4 as he continues to recover from a torn patellar tendon suffered during Philly’s playoff win over the Packers. The impending free agent is coming off his most productive NFL season. The former third-round pick finished the 2024 campaign having started all 15 of his appearances while compiling 128 tackles and three sacks.

Meanwhile, the Eagles moved on from a pair of notable offseason acquisitions. Kendall Lamm started 15 of his 32 appearances for the Dolphins over the past two years, and he was expected to provide the Eagles with some OT depth. Instead, the 33-year-old will look to continue his career elsewhere. 

The team also moved on from former second-round WR Terrace Marshall. The LSU product topped out at 490 yards during his three-year stint with the Panthers, and he followed that up with a 41-yard showing with the Raiders in 2024.
