The Philadelphia Eagles made a roster move on Friday morning

The team officially cut veteran wide receiver Kamar Aiken in order to call up rookie defensive tackle Bruce Hector from the practice squad.This move seems to indicate Haloti Ngata http://www.eaglesauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jason-peters-jersey , who has been limited in practice this week, likely won’t be able to play on Sunday. Doug Pederson said Ngata is “questionable” for the Panthers game. Prior to calling up Hector, the Eagles would’ve been down to just Fletcher Cox and Treyvon Hester at defensive tackle if Ngata couldn’t suit up. Destiny Vaeao went on injured reserve earlier this week.Hector, an undrafted rookie free agent signing out of South Florida Carson Wentz Jersey , began the season on the Eagles’ 53-man roster but got sent down to the practice squad in favor of Hester a few weeks ago. Now the Eagles are in a spot where they needed him back on the 53. That goes to show you how desperate the Eagles are at the position. It’s hardly surprising to see Aiken get released. The 29-year-old hasn’t been a very effective contributor. Aiken has six receptions for 53 yards this season. The Eagles were at a point where they were playing him a ton of snaps earlier this year with Alshon Jeffery out and Mike Wallace getting hurt. Thankfully that’s not the case anymore. With Aiken gone, the Eagles will move forward with Jeffery, Nelson Agholor, Jordan Matthews Authentic Jalen Mills Jersey , DeAndre Carter and Shelton Gibson as their five receivers on the main roster. Wallace and Mack Hollins are still on injured reserve. The Eagles could look to activate at least one of them, if not both, once they’re eligible in a few weeks.
The Eagles now have a vacant spot on the practice squad with Hector getting called up. We’ll likely see the team make an addition there early next week.Here’s an updated look at the Eagles’ practice squad:DT Winston CraigLB B.J.

Let’s take a look at their options.TRADEEARL THOMAS - Can you even imagine? It’d be pretty crazy to see the Eagles get the guy that people criticized Howie Roseman for passing up on in favor of drafting Brandon Graham instead. (I’d say that move worked out OK with Graham strip-sacking Tom Brady to help the Eagles clinch a Super Bowl win, by the way.) Putting that angle aside Youth Ronald Darby Jersey , Thomas would be a fantastic addition for Philadelphia. Adding his range and play-making ability to this Eagles defense is very enticing. The problem is that he wouldn’t come cheap. The Seahawks reportedly turned down a second-round pick offer from the Cowboys. The Chiefs (Andy Reid!) are reportedly interested in Thomas as well, which indicates there’s a market for him. I don’t think the Eagles would want to give up their 2019 first-round pick considering they’re tight on cap space and Thomas is a 29-year-old player on the last year of his deal seeking a mega extension. Maybe something like the Eagles giving up both of their 2019 second-round picks (their own and one from the Ravens) could get it done instead? Something to consider is that even if the Eagles don’t re-sign Thomas, they could recoup a 2020 third-round compensatory pick if he signs a big deal with another team in free agency after this year. Acquiring Thomas would be an aggressive move but it could make sense if the Eagles feel like they need to capitalize on this window they have. Find a way to make it happen, Howie.
