The Eagles announced four roster moves on Wednesday, just hours before the first practice of the regular season.
With the team preparing for the season opener at Detroit, Philadelphia signed Auden Tate (WR) and Dalton Keene (TE) to the practice squad.
The team released running back La’Mical Perine and quarterback Reid Sinnett from the practice squad to make room.
Signed Auden Tate
Tate could play tight end in Philadelphia as a big, physical pass catcher, although he offers versatility at multiple positions.
Formerly with the Bengals, Tate was released by the Falcons ahead of roster cuts. After signing with Atlanta in March, the 25-year-old had one reception for seven yards in the preseason.
Tate had his best season in 2019 when he finished with 40 receptions for 575 yards and one touchdown.
Signed Dalton Keene
The Patriots waived Keene.
New England selected the 23-year-old out of Virginia Tech in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
In six games, all in his rookie 2020 season, he caught three passes on five targets for 16 yards.
LaMical Perine Released
Perine, 24, was selected by the New York Jets with pick No. 120 overall in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of the University of Florida.
Last season Perine appeared in four games with the Jets, logging eight carries for 31-yards.
Eagles release QB Reid Sinnett
The Eagles waived Sinnett on roster cut-down day after giving the quarterback a chance to claim the third quarterback spot and possibly stake claim to the backup job if Gardner Minshew moves on in 2023.
Even with an increase in in-game action, Sinnett completed 25 of 48 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns with one interception while averaging 5.29 yards per attempt and was sacked six times.
