Eagles sign RB Elijah Mitchell to practice squad

Oct 20, 2026

Eagles’ roster moves:

Signed RB Elijah Mitchell to their practice squad.
Released C James Brockermeyer and RB Ian Wheeler from their practice squad.
Waived RB Jaydon Blue.
Waived/injured RB Carson Steele.

Related players: Saquon Barkley, Dameon Pierce

Fantasy Impact:

The Eagles cut Blue and Steele along with bringing in Mitchell. If Barkley can't play in Week 7, Mitchell could see significant time as Pierce wasn't impressive over the last two weeks. There have also been rumors of the Eagles trading Barkley to an RB-needy team if things continue to spiral downward for the Birds. That remains to be seen, however, but this is certainly a situation to watch, and adding Mitchell is worth it to at least see how things shake out.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (patellar tendon) out for season

Pro Football Talk

2 hours ago

Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin’s knee injury looked bad on the field Monday night and head coach Dan Quinn confirmed the worst at a press conference on Tuesday.

McLaurin will miss the rest of the season with a torn patellar tendon. McLaurin will have surgery to repair the injury.

Fantasy Impact:

The Commanders have McLaurin under contract for two more seasons, but his future with the team could be impacted by the level of offseason changes that go on in Washington. If things don’t get better after a 1-4-1 start, those changes could be significant, the story went on to point out. With McLaurin out, Diggs should take over as the WR1 and the rookie Williams could see expanded snaps and targets as well.

Giants are releasing RB Najee Harris

On Sunday, Giants running back Najee Harris expressed concern about the distribution of touches in the team’s ground game. He’ll now get none at all.

Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Giants are releasing Harris.

Related players: Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary, Cam Skattebo

Fantasy Impact:

They haven't released him yet with the hope someone will trade for him and also take his salary of $1.215 million. Assuming no one does, Harris can sign with another team. Harris was critical of the how the team was handling their RB touches. The story said Harris was to take on a bigger role this past week but that didn't hold true. We reported Monday Skattebo only played six snaps, leaving the majority of the workload to Tracy and Singletary. It's anyone's guess as to who leads the backfield this week, making all three current RBs risky fantasy plays.
