Eagles sign CB Christian Braswell to practice squad
The Philadelphia Eagles signed cornerback Christian Braswell to the practice squad on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026, the team announced. The 27-year-old returns to Philadelphia after playing his college football for the Temple Owls before transferring to Rutgers for his final two seasons. Braswell is a Washington, D.C., native and is listed at 5-foot-11.
Braswell was a sixth-round selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2023 NFL Draft and spent three-plus seasons with Jacksonville. The Jaguars waived him earlier this October with an injury designation, according to the team announcement. Through 20 NFL games, he has recorded 19 tackles and three passes defensed. Those totals are his official pro statistics entering the Eagles’ practice squad.
The Eagles added Braswell to their practice squad as the club continues to adjust personnel during the season. The move brings a cornerback with multiple years of college starting experience in the Philadelphia area and some NFL game experience. The team posted the transaction on its official website as part of Wednesday’s roster update.
NFL Sports Blog Take
Braswell gives the Eagles a depth option who is familiar with the Philadelphia region from his Temple tenure and carries modest pro experience with 20 games played. His 19 tackles and three passes defensed indicate he has seen game action at the NFL level, which can be valuable for practice reps and special teams work. The fact that Jacksonville waived him with an injury designation earlier this month will make his health a point of attention, but the signing suggests Philadelphia views him as available to practice. For a team juggling roster moves, adding a locally connected defensive back to the practice squad is a low-risk way to bolster depth at cornerback.
