Overview
- Bernard and Weru cleared waivers and were re-signed to the Eagles' practice squad on Tuesday, keeping them in Philadelphia for further development.
- General manager Howie Roseman called the move a deliberate roster decision to buy coaching time and said both players need extended instruction to learn organized football.
- Uar Bernard was a 2026 seventh-round pick from Nigeria with no prior organized football experience and Joshua Weru joined as an undrafted free agent after playing professional rugby in Kenya.
- The Eagles kept multiple veteran defensive tackles and outside linebackers on the 53-man roster, which limited spots for early-career prospects and prompted the practice-squad placement.
- There is a risk other teams can sign the pair to an active roster from the practice squad under current rules, so the Eagles must continue rapid technical work to retain and ready the players for future games.
