Eagles Cut TE E.J. Jenkins

Veteran TE Zach Ertz is out of practice squad elevations, so Philadelphia might be hoping to make a swap here. Jenkins has appeared in all six games so far this season and is a core special teams contributor even if he hasn’t caught a pass. 

Jenkins, 27, attended South Carolina and Georgia Tech before going undrafted in 2023.

He caught on with the Jets as an undrafted free agent before being among the team’s final roster cuts and joining the Eagles’ practice squad.

After being let go by Philadelphia’s practice squad, Jenkins caught on with the Raiders before signing a futures deal with the Eagles for another stint with the team. He’s bounced on and off the roster and practice squad since then, returning on a futures deal in 2026 and making the 53-man roster out of the preseason. 

In 2026, Jenkins has appeared in six games for the Eagles but has not recorded any statistics.
