The Eagles filled out their initial 17-player practice squad Tuesday, officially signing four more players to add to the 13 they signed on Monday.

The additions to the unit are: wide receiver Danny Gray, offensive lineman Kiran Amegadjie, cornerback Robert Longerbeam, and running back Jaydon Blue. Among the four, only Gray — who had stints on the practice squad in 2024 and 2025 — spent training camp with the Eagles.

The other three are all recent draft picks who were cut by their former teams. Amegadjie (6-foot-5, 326 pounds) was a 2024 third-round Chicago Bears pick. Longerbeam (5-11, 174) and Blue (5-9, 198) were 2025 draft picks, Longerbeam in the sixth round by the Baltimore Ravens and Blue in the fifth by the Dallas Cowboys.

Blue had a limited role as a rookie in Dallas, carrying 38 times for 129 yards and one touchdown. The former Texas running back was waived when the Cowboys cut their roster to 53. Longerbeam, meanwhile, suffered a season-ending knee injury in August last year.

The Eagles are allowed 17 players since Uar Bernard, their seventh-round pick, is a designated International Player Pathway program player, a slot that enables the team to keep one extra player on the practice squad.

  1. DT Uar Bernard (IPP designation)

  2. LB Chance Campbell

  3. WR Britain Covey

  4. DT Gabe Hall

  5. OLB Keyshawn James-Newby

  6. C/G Jake Majors
