Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Myles Hinton. <\/p>\n
The Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> don\u2019t want another lackluster offensive line \u2014 part of the reason for the disappointing 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n The cutthroat nature of the Eagles\u2019 competition for spots up front was on full display as NFL teams began slicing their rosters for the 53-man cutdown due on Sunday \u2014 for the Eagles, that meant parting ways with a 2025 draft pick in 6-foot-6, 323-pound offensive tackle Myles Hinton<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hinton, the son of 3-time NFL All-Pro offensive tackle Chris Hinton, was released 1 day ahead of cuts and just over 1 year since the Eagles selected him in the 6th round (No. 191 overall), although he never even played in a game after spending 2025 on injured reserve due to a back issue.<\/p>\n \u201cEagles released OT Myles Hinton,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter wrote<\/a> on his official X account on August 29.<\/p>\n \u201c2025 sixth-round pick Myles Hinton has been released,\u201d Eagles reporter Cayden Steele wrote<\/a> on his official X account.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cHinton was just not good enough,\u201d Philly Special\u2019s Anthony DiBona wrote<\/a> on his official X account. \u201cThey tried him multiple places but kept struggling. Might be a project they bring back to PS, but also might just not have it.\u201d<\/p>\n Eagles Tried to Bring Hinton Back Late in Season<\/p>\n The Eagles tried to bring Hinton back late in the season \u2014 and it would have probably been an incredible opportunity for him to make a big impression with the offensive line decimated by injuries seemingly from start to finish.<\/p>\n The Eagles announced on Wednesday, November 19, they were opening the practice window on Hinton, who had been on injured reserve since August 28.<\/p>\n From the\u00a0Eagles official website<\/a>: \u201cThe Eagles opened the practice window for tackle Myles Hinton. Hinton was placed on the Injured Reserve, Designated for Return list on roster cutdown day. Philadelphia selected Hinton in the sixth round of the 2025\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0Draft. He began his college career at Stanford (where he played with\u00a0Tanner McKee<\/a>) before transferring to Michigan and helping the Wolverines win a National Championship. If activated to the 53-man roster, Hinton provides depth at tackle.\u201d<\/p>\n The Eagles needed depth at offensive tackle after 5-time NFL All-Pro and 2-time Super Bowl champion Lane Johnson <\/a>went down with\u00a0a Lisfranc sprain in his foot<\/a>\u00a0suffered in a 16-9 win over the\u00a0Detroit Lions<\/a> in Week 11 \u2014 an injury that would cost him the final 7 games of the regular season and the NFC Wild Card Round loss to the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n Hinton Seemed Like Versatile OL Component<\/p>\n Hinton was a starter for all 5 of his college seasons \u2014 3 at Stanford and 2 at Michigan \u2014 including a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2023 and earning All-Big Ten honors in 2024.<\/p>\n From\u00a0Bleacher Report\u2019s pre-draft scouting report<\/a>: \u201cHinton wins as a run-blocker using his mass, quickness and length to close space, cover up and wall off defenders with the speed to clear lanes on the move as a lead blocker around the edge and on screens \u2026 Hinton has an impressive blend of size and quickness in pass protection to get to his spot, slide and mirror rushers up the arc and laterally with flashes of independent hands to disrupt the timing of pass-rush moves.\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.
