The Philadelphia Eagles have waived running back Carson Steele despite his strong showing in the preseason, where he accumulated 193 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns across three games. Steele's best performance came against New England with 117 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown reception. The decision to release him was influenced by the crowded running back depth chart featuring Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley.
