The Philadelphia Eagles formally revealed 4 practice team deals on Tuesday afternoon. Here’s an introduction:
- OT Xavier Truss and DT Zion Wilson were signed to the practice team.
- TE Josiah Deguara and CB Shaun Wade were launched from the practice team.
Let’s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.
XAVIER TRUSS
The 25-year-old Truss is a beginner to the Eagles. He played college football at Georgia before going unpicked in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Truss initially signed with the Denver Broncos before landing with the New Orleans Saints, where he logged absolutely no offending snaps and 30 unique groups snaps last season.
After being waived by the Saints throughout lineup cuts, Truss signed up with the Cleveland Browns’ practice team in mid-September. He was then cut recently.
Here’s a take a look at Truss’ snap counts by position:
2026 (NFL preseason)– LG 48, RG 41
2025 (NFL preseason)– RT 65
2024 (college)– RT 656, RG 87, LG 2
2023 (college)– RT 424, LG 117, RG 61, LT 32
2022 (college)– LG 599, LT 1
2021 (college)– RG 185
2020 (college)– LT 60
2019 (college)– LT 44
As you can seen, Truss has experience at 4 of the 5 offending line positions. That most likely makes him a beneficial gamer to have for filling representatives in practice settings.
And must the Eagles’ offending line circumstance get back at more desperate, they might want to call him up a depth alternative.
Pre-draft hunting report by means of NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein:
Sixth-year senior who saw more associates at deal with however will require to play guard on the next level. Truss is difficult however irregular. He’s sufficient as a base blocker however does not have the core strength and body control to remain focused and linked over the rep. He moves well sufficient to play in area however just at a typical level. Truss does a good task of keeping rushes at the end of his punch and he scans for prospective problem in both of his spaces. Athletic constraints and an absence of bend might develop anchor and healing problems inside. Truss is a most likely Day 3 choice with backup capacity as a guard.
ZION WILSON
BGN’s Alexis Chassen formerly discussed Wilson’s return on Monday.
I’ll simply include that it’s great to see him back in Philly after he revealed some prospective in the preseason. Curious that the Eagles didn’t seek to include him back to the practice team quicker. Or perhaps they did and Wilson wished to keep his choices open.
Not sure why the Eagles are looking to include more DT depth when they currently have 5 on the lineup and Gabe Hall on the practice team. Once again, I like Wilson’s developmental capacity.
JOSIAH DEGUARA
The Eagles signed Deguara back in mid-September after Eli Stowers was put on hurt reserve. The group briefly raised him for their Week 3 video game versus the Chicago Bears, where he logged absolutely no offending snaps and 21 unique groups snaps.
Now he’s gone.
I question if the Eagles might choose to open Stowers’ 21-day practice window quickly? He ended up being qualified to return from hurt reserve after Week 4.
SHAUN WADE
After investing training school with the Eagles, Wade was launched in late August. He went back to Philly on the practice team in late September. Now the 28-year-old cornerback is gone once again.
