Eagles keep Uar Bernard, Joshua Weru on practice squad

Four of 26 waived Eagles were claimed elsewhere

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Sep 11 min read

What happened: Howie Roseman said Uar Bernard has never played organized sports and urged patience with his development. He said Jordan Mailata's rise was an exceptional case rather than a standard for Bernard or Joshua Weru.

Why it matters: The roster move keeps both international prospects in Philadelphia's development pipeline for the upcoming season. Roseman said the Eagles explored trades in August but found no deal that made sense.

By the numbers: Four of the Eagles' 26 waived players were claimed: Cameron Williams by the Atlanta Falcons, Myles Hinton by the Cincinnati Bengals, Kapena Gushiken by the Indianapolis Colts and Cam Latu by the New England Patriots. Roseman said the typical NFL waiver-claim rate is about 4%.

What to watch: Bernard and Weru will continue working on the practice squad as Philadelphia prepares for the 2026 season.
