Eagles Expected to Add Ex-Chiefs RB Carson Steele on Futures Deal to Compete at Fullback

The reported move addresses a vacancy created by Ben VanSumeren’s ACL tear during the Eagles’ early 2026 roster build.

Overview

  • NFL reporter Tom Pelissero relayed that agent Randy M. Fisher says Carson Steele will sign a futures contract with Philadelphia, and the team has not announced the move.
  • Steele is expected to compete at fullback, a role opened when Ben VanSumeren tore his ACL on the first play of Week 1 in 2025.
  • As a 2024 rookie with Kansas City, Steele played 17 games with three starts, posting 183 rushing yards on 56 carries, seven catches for 26 yards, and three fumbles.
  • He contributed on special teams with five kick returns for 138 yards, including a long of 31 yards.
  • Philadelphia recently added eight players on futures deals and is set to return Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley at running back, positioning Steele primarily for fullback and special-teams competition.
