The Eagles continue to tinker with the roster as they approach their final 53 guys, and are adding some depth at center by signing Zeke Correll, and also brought back WR Brandon Hayes, who has bounced on and off the roster since late-Spring. To make room for the newest additions, the team also placed Tariq Castro-Fields on IR as he deals with a heel injury, and waived/injured WR Johnny Wilson.

Zeke Correll is a 6-foot-3, 307-pound center who spent the 2025 offseason with the Minnesota Vikings. Ultimately, he was waived due to injury as they approached final roster cuts, and eventually landed on the team’s injury reserve list for the season. Correll spent last year with new Eagles OL coach Chris Kuper in Minnesota, so there’s so familiarity with what they’re trying to do in Philly. Right now, the depth at center starts with Cam Jurgens, followed by Willie Lampkin, who has impressed this training camp, and now Correll with get into the mix.

Wide receiver Brandon Hayes has signed and been waived several times over the past few months by the Eagles, and this time, it took less than a week for him to return to the roster. The WR room is pretty crowded, even with the team waiving Johnny Wilson due to a lingering knee injury. Hayes could make a good practice squad candidate, and someone who can take extra reps as other receivers, like DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon, come back from injuries of their own.

Wilson being waived is a shame, and also removes the biggest WR on the team. Head coach Nick Sirianni and OC Sean Mannion have both lauded the variety of skill-sets by the receiver room, and losing Wilson will affect their overall abilities. Still, the former Eagles draft pick missed the 2025 season due to injuries, and was trending in that direction for 2026. Now, he will revert to injured reserve if/when he goes unclaimed through waivers.
