The Philadelphia Eagles have waived guard Kenyon Green ahead of Tuesday’s roster deadline, ending his bid to make the initial 53-man roster. Green was brought to Philadelphia in the offseason as part of the trade that sent safety C.J. Gardner-Jordon to the Eagles, giving him a chance to compete for interior-line depth.
Green, a 2022 first‑round pick, started 23 games for Houston before missing the 2023 season with a shoulder injury. He also dealt with another shoulder issue this summer, limiting his spring and preseason workload. He did see action in Philadelphia’s final preseason game, but the extent of his participation was a signal that the team was evaluating other options on the line.
If Green goes unclaimed on waivers, he could seek opportunities with other teams or land on a practice squad, where his starting NFL experience and versatility at guard could be appealing to a number of clubs.
What this means for Green
– A veteran with significant starting experience could contribute to another organization’s interior line if he signs elsewhere.
– A waivers-clean path would give him a fresh opportunity to compete for a roster spot with a different team.
What this means for the Eagles
– The move tightens the competition at guard and signals that Philadelphia is prioritizing health and other options along the interior line heading into the season.
– It preserves flexibility to add depth if injuries arise or if a move presents itself later in the year.
Overall, Green’s NFL journey continues beyond Philadelphia, with potential suitors waiting to evaluate his recovery from shoulder injuries and his versatility on the interior line. He remains a player with NFL-caliber experience who could contribute to the right fit.
