The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced four practice squad transactions on Tuesday afternoon. Here\u2019s an overview:<\/p>\n

OT Xavier Truss and DT Zion Wilson were signed to the practice squad.TE Josiah Deguara and CB Shaun Wade were released from the practice squad.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Truss is a newcomer to the Eagles. He played college football at Georgia before going unpicked in the 2025 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

Truss originally signed with the Denver Broncos before landing with the New Orleans Saints, where he logged zero offensive snaps and 30 special teams snaps last season.<\/p>\n

After being waived by the Saints during roster cuts, Truss joined the Cleveland Browns\u2019 practice squad in mid-September. He was then cut last week.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at Truss\u2019 snap counts by position:<\/p>\n

2026 (NFL preseason) \u2014 LG 48, RG 41
2025 (NFL preseason) \u2014 RT 65
2024 (college) \u2014 RT 656, RG 87, LG 2
2023 (college) \u2014 RT 424, LG 117, RG 61, LT 32
2022 (college) \u2014 LG 599, LT 1
2021 (college) \u2014 RG 185
2020 (college) \u2014 LT 60
2019 (college) \u2014 LT 44<\/p>\n

As you can seen, Truss has experience at four of the five offensive line positions. That probably makes him a useful player to have for filling reps in practice settings.<\/p>\n

And should the Eagles\u2019 offensive line situation get even more desperate, they could look to call him up a depth option.<\/p>\n

Pre-draft scouting report via NFL.com\u2019s Lance Zierlein<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Sixth-year senior who saw more reps at tackle but will need to play guard on the next level. Truss is tough but inconsistent. He\u2019s adequate as a base blocker but lacks the core strength and body control to stay centered and connected over the rep. He moves well enough to play in space but only at an average level. Truss does a nice job of keeping rushers at the end of his punch and he scans for potential trouble in both of his gaps. Athletic limitations and a lack of bend could create anchor and recovery issues inside. Truss is a likely Day 3 selection with backup potential as a guard.<\/p>\n

BGN\u2019s Alexis Chassen previously wrote about Wilson\u2019s return<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll just add that it\u2019s nice to see him back in Philly after he showed some potential in the preseason. Curious that the Eagles didn\u2019t look to add him back to the practice squad sooner. Or maybe they did and Wilson wanted to keep his options open.<\/p>\n

Also, not sure why the Eagles are looking to add more DT depth when they already have five on the roster and Gabe Hall on the practice squad. But, again, I like Wilson\u2019s developmental potential.<\/p>\n

The Eagles signed Deguara back in mid-September after Eli Stowers was placed on injured reserve. The team temporarily elevated him for their Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears, where he logged zero offensive snaps and 21 special teams snaps.<\/p>\n

I wonder if the Eagles might opt to open Stowers\u2019 21-day practice window soon? He became eligible to return from injured reserve after Week 4.<\/p>\n

After spending training camp with the Eagles, Wade was released in late August. He returned to Philly on the practice squad in late September. But now the 28-year-old cornerback is gone again.<\/p>\n
