Eagles Sign WR Javon Baker to Practice Squad, Release Rookie Edge Antwaun Powell-Ryland

The move follows his New England waiver after roster claims.

Overview

  • The team made the transaction official Friday, finalizing the addition one day after its Week 1 win over Dallas.
  • Drafted No. 110 overall by the Patriots in 2024, Baker logged 90 offensive snaps and 28 special-teams snaps as a rookie with one reception and three kickoff returns.
  • ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported Baker chose Philadelphia’s practice squad after weighing multiple options, including a possible return to New England.
  • New England initially kept Baker on its 53-man roster before cutting him to create space after claiming quarterback Tommy DeVito and defensive back Charles Woods.
  • Philadelphia created the spot by releasing 2025 sixth-rounder Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and Baker’s arrival lifts the Eagles’ tally of former Alabama players to around ten.
