Overview

  • The move was recorded on the NFL transaction wire, placing Lampkin on Philadelphia's roster.
  • Lampkin, listed near 5-foot-11 and 290 pounds, started five seasons at Coastal Carolina and North Carolina but went undrafted due to size concerns.
  • He projects as a center at the pro level and could slot behind Cam Jurgens and rookie Drew Kendall as coaches finalize roles.
  • The Eagles re-signed long snapper Charley Hughlett to the 53-man roster, and ESPN reports guard Trevor Keegan was waived in a corresponding move.
  • Los Angeles waived Lampkin with an injury designation, which lowers expectations for immediate availability.
