Eagles waive former first-round offensive lineman

Green was waived once again on Saturday, per a team announcement. The offseason trade acquisition was on Philadelphia’s active roster in time for the team’s regular season opener, but he did not take part. Green will now hit the waiver wire with free agency looming in the event he does not get claimed.

During his three years in Houston, Green was unable to live up to the expectations brought about by his draft stock. The 24-year-old managed to play 12 games last season after missing the previous campaign in its entirety. His play when on the field, however, was a key factor in the Texans’ struggles along the offensive line. The team made a number of changes up front this spring, including the decision to include Green in the C.J. Gardner-Johnson trade.

Four of Philadelphia’s starters along the O-line are still in place from 2024. The lone vacancy compared to last season was right guard, with Mekhi Becton landing a two-year Chargers pact in free agency after delivering a strong campaign with the Eagles. Tyler Steen won the RG gig in training camp and played there on Thursday. Without a first-team opening for Green – and without the Texas A&M product being viewed as one of Philadelphia’s top backup options along the interior – a change of scenery is likely in store.

Green could remain with the Eagles via a practice squad agreement after clearing waivers. Failing that, he will look to join a new team with the regular season underway.
