Overview
- The Philadelphia Eagles officially signed Robert Longerbeam to their practice squad on Tuesday, keeping the 2025 sixth-round pick in the NFL per the team announcement.
- Baltimore waived Longerbeam after final cuts even though the Ravens were reportedly high on him, and he cleared waivers before choosing to sign elsewhere.
- Longerbeam is fully healthy after a torn patellar tendon that cost him his rookie year and showed eight tackles and one pass breakup during the 2026 preseason.
- Philadelphia has six cornerbacks on its 53-man roster, so the Eagles used the practice squad to add depth while preserving the option to elevate Longerbeam if injuries or performance create openings.
- The move gives Longerbeam a development path and gives the Eagles a low-risk depth piece who could push for a backup spot next summer as Jonathan Jones, Kelee Ringo, and Riq Woolen approach free agency.
