Eagles Waive Cornerback Jakorian Bennett

The roster move puts Bennett on the waiver wire and underscores Philadelphia’s need for dependable outside cornerbacks as injuries have limited his availability.

Overview

  • The Eagles submitted a waiver for Jakorian Bennett, removing him from the roster and making him available for other teams to claim.
  • Bennett missed time after a pectoral injury in 2025 and a knee injury in 2026 that put him on injured reserve with a designation to return.
  • Philadelphia opened Bennett’s 21-day practice window in mid-October, he resumed practicing during that window, but the team did not activate him for recent games.
  • The club acquired Bennett in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders before the 2025 season after he was a 2023 fourth-round pick, but he logged only limited defensive snaps for the Eagles.
  • If unclaimed, Bennett could sign to a practice squad or return to Philadelphia in that role, while the Eagles continue evaluating outside cornerback depth behind Quinyon Mitchell, Riq Woolen and Cooper DeJean.
