These transactions underscore the Eagles’ roster management strategy during the early part of the season: use the practice squad to create short-term depth and adjust the 53-man group game-to-game.

The club re-signed defensive tackle Gabe Hall and added players such as Shaun Wade and Anfernee Orji, which suggests Philadelphia is keeping multiple position groups stocked as injuries and weekly needs arise, per the team’s transaction entries.
