Eagles announce 10-man practice squad

Ten former roster hopefuls learned that they made the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad on Monday. All ten were eligible to make the squad after they cleared waivers at noon on Sunday. Nine of the ten players spent time with the Eagles this offseason.

The Eagles' 10-member practice squad:


RB Raheem Mostert
LB Deontae Skinner
OL Brett Boyko
TE Chris Pantale
CB Randall Evans
OL Malcolm Bunche
WR Quron Pratt
S Ed Reynolds
DE Brian Mihalik
WR Freddie Martino

Mostert, an undrafted rookie free agent, was the Eagles' most productive player from scrimmage in the exhibition season, but the abundance of skill in the backfield pushed him from the starting roster. He's certainly good enough to hang around, though.

Evans was a sixth-round selection in April, but failed to show much of anything this summer. Denzel Rice, who went undrafted by the team, made the squad ahead of Evans after a more productive showing in pass coverage, coming up with two interceptions.

A fifth-round pick in 2014, safety Ed Reynolds finds himself back on the practice team for a second straight year. Tackling troubles kept him one spot shy of the Sunday roster, but some depth concerns at the position could find him promoted if need be.

Wide receiver Rasheed Bailey and outside linebacker Diaheem Watkins did not make the team's practice squad. Bailey, a Philadelphia native and rookie from Delaware Valley, looked a promising talent who caught a touchdown pass in the Eagles' preseason finale.
