The Eagles filled their two open spots on the practice squad on Wednesday by signing tight end Jaheim Bell and defensive end Titus Leo.<\/p>\n
Bell was a 2024 seventh-round pick by the Patriots out of Florida State after he spent three years playing at South Carolina. The 6-foot-2 Bell appeared in 15 games last season for New England, catching two passes for 20 yards. He was waived by the Patriots in August.<\/p>\n
The Eagles are carrying four tight ends on their active roster \u2014 Dallas Goedert, Grant Calcaterra, Kylen Granson, and Cameron Latu, who has mainly been used as a fullback. Bell joins E.J. Jenkins as the other tight end on Philadelphia’s practice squad.<\/p>\n
Leo played his college ball at Wagner, where he was a two-time conference Defensive Player of the Year and a first-team FCS All-American in 2021. He was selected in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Colts.<\/p>\n
Leo, who is 6-foot-3, played in four NFL games last season with the New England Patriots, registering four tackles, one for a loss, and a pass defensed. Leo was claimed off waivers by the Titans in April before getting waived in early August.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia has four edge rushers on the 53-man roster after Za’Darius Smith’s retirement. Leo joins sixth-round pick Antwaun Powell-Ryland as depth at the position on the practice squad. \u2014 Written by Matt Ryan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Eagles filled their two open spots on the practice squad on Wednesday by signing tight end Jaheim…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2445,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1794,1792,2196,69,1795,71,70,2197],"class_list":["post-2444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-2025-week-7-vikings","tag-all-news-archived","tag-nfl-com-feature","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-eagles-at-minnesota-vikings-2025-reg-7","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-team-roster-content"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
