Eagles Waive Long Snapper Charley Hughlett, Then Bring Him Back on Practice Squad

The waiver created a 53-man roster opening, with Hughlett returning to the practice squad according to his agent.

Overview

  • The Eagles cut Charley Hughlett on Monday, briefly leaving no listed long snapper on the active roster or practice squad.
  • Agent Brett Tessler said Tuesday that Hughlett re-signed to Philadelphia’s practice squad.
  • Reporter Zach Berman noted the maneuver likely freed a 53-man spot for a player such as Andre’ Sam or Patrick Johnson who must be on the roster to play.
  • Hughlett signed a one-year deal, went on injured reserve with an abdominal injury, and has snapped the past two games, including the Buffalo win when Jake Elliott surpassed 1,000 career points.
  • Earlier coverage identified Cal Adomitis on the Steelers’ practice squad as an option, and the Eagles went 7-0 with Hughlett compared with 4-5 when Adomitis handled snaps.
