Philadelphia Eagles waive draft picks Cole Wisniewski and Keyshawn James-Newby

The Philadelphia Eagles waived seventh-round picks Cole Wisniewski and Keyshawn James-Newby over the weekend. Both players struggled to secure roster spots after missing significant practice time during the offseason due to injury. While Keyshawn James-Newby showed flashes of potential in recent workouts, the organization determined the pair did not make a compelling case for the active roster. The team currently retains six other selections from its 2026 NFL Draft class, including Makai Lemon, Eli Stowers, Markel Bell, Cole Payton, Micah Morris, and Uar Bernard. Assuming the waived players clear the waiver process, the Philadelphia Eagles are expected to attempt to sign them to the 16-player practice squad. Additional roster reductions are anticipated as the franchise nears its final personnel decisions.
