The Philadelphia Eagles announced some roster moves on Sunday afternoon. Here’s an overview:

WR Giles Jackson was signed to the roster.
RB Tyrion Davis-Price was waived.

Let’s sort through this news on a player-by-play basis.

GILES JACKSON

Jackson is signing with the Eagles as an undrafted rookie free agent after not being selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. The 23-year-old attended Philly’s rookie minicamp on a tryout basis and apparently impressed the team enough to warrant a roster spot.

Jackson attended Michigan from 2019-2020 before transferring to Washington, where he played from 2021-2024. The majority of the super senior’s production came last year, when he had 85 receptions for 893 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns. He also logged 33 rushing attempts over six years for 183 rushing yards (5.5 average) and two rushing scores.

Jackson also brings returning experience to the table. He returned 71 kickoffs for a 24.4 average and two touchdowns. He returned 25 punts for a 7.2 average.

The 5’8”, 187 pound Jackson profiles as a return specialist/slot receiver/gadget guy in the NFL. He could be competing with veteran free agent signing Avery Williams for a similar role on the Eagles’ 53-man roster.

Jackson is likely a long shot to stick around, so, even making the practice squad would be a good outcome for him. He could be an interesting player to monitor during offseason practices and preseason games.

Watch Jackson’s highlights video:

Scouting report via Tony Pauline:

Small yet explosive wideout coming off a career season. Quickly gets off the line, immediately gets to top speed and possesses a burst. Tracks the pass in the air and displays focus as well as concentration and eye/hand coordination. Adjusts to the errant throw, comes away with the difficult reception in contorted positions and extends to make the catch away from his frame. Quickly gets into routes, separates from defenders and is effective running after the catch. Experienced as a return specialist.

Undersized and loses out in battles. Marginally productive for most of his college career until last season.

Jackson is a quick and surehanded slot receiver who needs space to work. He offers possibilities in a timing offense, and his deep speed and potential as a vertical threat will be attractive.

Relative athletic score:

TYRION DAVIS-PRICE

The Eagles originally signed TDP — a 2022 third-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers — in February 2024. He spent last offseason competing for a spot on the Eagles’ roster. There was thought the Birds might keep him on the 53 as a fourth running back but he was waived and signed to Philly’s practice squad instead. It seemed like TDP was going to have another chance to prove his worth to the Eagles but that’ll no longer be the case. The Birds decided to cut him to free up a roster spot to sign Jackson. It’s worth noting that the Eagles signed two UDFA running backs to give them six total: Saquon Barkley, Will Shipley, AJ Dillon, Lew Nichols, Montrell Johnson Jr., and ShunDerrick Powell.

We’ll see if another team claims TDP off waivers.

OTHER TRYOUT PLAYERS

If the Eagles were going to sign another rookie minicamp tryout player(s), it seems like they would’ve announced that along with the Jackson news.
