Philadelphia Eagles running back Carson Steele. <\/p>\n
Maybe preseason performances don\u2019t matter as much as we think \u2014 at least not to the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> ahead of 53-man roster cuts due on Sunday.<\/p>\n \u201cSource: The Eagles plan to release RB Carson Steele<\/a>,\u201d NFL insider Jordan Schultz wrote on his official X account on Saturday. \u201cThe former UDFA had 8 catches for 52 yards and a TD vs the Bengals in Philly\u2019s final preseason game.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe Eagles have released RB Carson Steele, per source,\u201d NBC Sports Philadelphia\u2019s Ryan Fowler wrote<\/a> on his official X account on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cSteele had a really fun preseason and would seemingly be a good PS candidate,\u201d NBC Sports Philadelphia\u2019s Dave Zangaro wrote<\/a> on his official X account.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not sure what the Eagles do with Carson Steele, if they keep him, but geez if you\u2019re using the preseason as any sort of metric, he should make the team,\u201d Eagles reporter Les Bowen wrote on X<\/a>. \u201cBeat writers seem to think there\u2019s no room on the 53. Then I look at some of the names they have making the roster.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cEagles cutting Carson Steele after a very promising preseason,\u201d Eagles reporter James Simone wrote<\/a> on his official X account. \u201cI wonder if the Eagles are keeping Dameon Pierce after cutting Carson Steele.\u201d<\/p>\n Eagles Signed Steele Immediately After 2025 Season<\/p>\n The Eagles liked Steele enough to sign him almost immediately<\/a> after an upset home loss to the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> in the NFC Wild Card Round.<\/p>\n \u201cFormer\u00a0Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0RB\u00a0Carson Steele<\/a>\u00a0is signing a futures deal with the Eagles, per his agent Randy M. Fisher,\u201d\u00a0NFL insider Tom Pelissero<\/a>\u00a0wrote on his official X account on Tuesday, January 13.<\/p>\n Carson Steele Made Chiefs as Undrafted Free Agent<\/p>\n Steele has actually faced the Eagles before \u2014 he was on the roster for the Chiefs in their Super Bowl LIX loss to the Eagles on February 9, 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cReally hope Carson Steele clears waivers and makes to the practice squad,\u201d Breaking the Birds\u2019 Thomas R. Petersen wrote<\/a> on his official X account. \u201cThink there\u2019s a good chance that happens.\u201d<\/p>\n His path to get there was highly unusual. The 6-foot, 228-pound Greenwood, Indiana, native racked up 2,770 yards of total offense and 22 total touchdowns in 2 seasons at Ball State, including 1,556 rushing yards in 2022.<\/p>\n In one season with UCLA, Steele had 1,010 yards of total offense and 6 total touchdowns in 2023 while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. He earned a certain amount of fame for making\u00a0The Athletic\u2019s \u201cFreaks List\u201d twice<\/a>\u00a0after he squatted 615 pounds and bench-pressed 405 pounds as a freshman.<\/p>\n NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein<\/a>\u00a0had Steele projected as a priority free agent.<\/p>\n \u201cSteele is a ball of muscle in human form. He has the contact balance and leg strength to squeeze the most out of a carry,\u201d Zierlein wrote. \u201cHe has decent vision but can be a bit sluggish with short-area cuts, allowing the defense to quickly rally and tackle. Steele\u2019s value will be as a short-yardage specialist who can help wear down defenses in a downhill attack.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tTony Adame<\/a> covers the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers, and the entire NFC East Division.
