The Philadelphia Eagles have officially wrapped up their organized team activities (OTAs) as they shift their focus to the upcoming mandatory minicamp. The Eagles are deep in the process of fine-tuning their roster in a bid to defend their Super Bowl title. This period is vital for teams as they evaluate talent, allowing them to fill their 90-man roster and identify the players who will earn a spot when the regular season kicks off.
In a notable move, the Eagles have claimed running back Keilan Robinson to bolster their backfield depth. This decision came with the release of wide receiver Ife Adeyi, demonstrating the team’s commitment to maximizing every spot as they prepare for what lies ahead.
Adeyi, who was signed just earlier in the week as an undrafted free agent after a standout college career at Sam Houston State, didn’t have the chance to make a significant impact in Philadelphia. During his time in college, he demonstrated his capabilities, earning All-WAC second team honors in 2021 and making the All-Southland Conference second team in 2020. In 54 games, he accumulated 164 receptions for 2,312 yards and 19 touchdowns, along with 306 rushing yards and four additional scores. Despite his production, the Eagles’ wide receiver room is brimming with talent, led by stars like A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, making it a tough environment for newcomers looking to make their mark.
The Eagles recognized the need for additional running back depth, opting for Robinson, who joins a competitive RB group that features names like Saquon Barkley and A.J. Dillon. While opportunities will be limited, Robinson brings some special teams experience from his previous stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he recorded two kick returns for 34 yards last season.
As the team moves closer to minicamp, the competition intensifies. For Robinson, the next steps will be crucial in his quest for a roster spot. Meanwhile, Adeyi will continue searching for his next opportunity to showcase his talent. With these ongoing roster decisions, the Eagles are gearing up not just for training camp, but for a season where every position battle counts.
