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.

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.

According to multiple reports, veteran Brandon McManus has agreed to join Los Angeles.

McManus, 35, was most recently with the Packers last season. He made 24-of-30 field goals and 32-of-33 extra points in 14 regular season games the story said. McManus did miss two field goals and an extra point in a playoff loss to Chicago.

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.

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.
