The Eagles promoted running back Jaydon Blue from the practice squad to the active roster and placed Dameon Pierce on Injured Reserve. Philadelphia also added guard Evan Beerntsen, wide receiver Quentin Skinner and defensive back Shaun Wade to its practice squad.

By the Numbers
  • Pierce ran for 96 yards and 2 touchdowns on 37 carries across 3 games with Philadelphia.
  • Blue recorded 129 rushing yards and 1 touchdown on 34 carries in 5 games with Dallas as a rookie.
  • Blue ran the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds at the NFL Combine.
  • Pierce is the Eagles’ 4th running back to go on Injured Reserve this season.
Yes, But

Blue returns to the active roster after a brief earlier stint, but the move comes amid significant running-back injuries. Pierce had recently taken on a larger role as other backs were sidelined, making his placement on Injured Reserve another hit to Philadelphia’s depth.

Bottom Line

The roster moves give Philadelphia another running back option while adding depth at guard, receiver and defensive back—but continued injuries leave the backfield in flux.
