Eagles make some roster moves ahead of Browns game originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Eagles made a few changes Saturday afternoon ahead of their 1 p.m. game against the Browns at Linc on Sunday:
• WR Parris Campbell was placed on the 53-man practice squad roster.
• OL Jack Driscoll was removed from the practice squad.
The Eagles had an open spot on their 53-man roster after releasing linebacker Devin White earlier in the week. Campbell had already been elevated to the max three times, so the Eagles needed to put him on the roster if they wanted him to be active on upcoming game days. He will be the fifth wideout for Sunday’s game after AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson.
But the move also means safety Sydney Brown will have to wait at least one more week before making his debut in 2024. The Eagles opened the practice window for Brown (ACL) and wide receiver Ainias Smith (ankle) this week and will have 21 days to activate or stop them for the season. Brown will likely be activated at some point and should play a role in Vic Fangio’s defense.
For now, though, that last spot on the list belongs to Campbell. The 27-year-old was released during the last drafts and initially declined the Eagles’ offer to join the practice squad before changing his mind. He’s been elevated in each of the last three games. In those three games, Campbell played 99 offensive snaps and had 6 catches for 30 yards and a touchdown.
“Yeah, Parris did some really good things,” head coach Nick Sirianni said Friday. “I got Parris playing a long time in this league. He plays with hard effort, he plays physical, he plays hard.
Campbell will likely be the Eagles’ fifth receiver until Britain Covey is ready to come off injured reserve with a shoulder injury.
Driscoll, 27, has been on the Eagles’ practice squad since September 3. The former Eagles draft pick spent the summer with the Dolphins, but was released during the recent drafts. From 2020 to 2023, Driscoll played in 54 games with 17 starts for the Eagles. He offers some versatility in tackling and guarding. There are still two elevations left after this one.
