We have signed RB Jaydon Blue to the active roster. We have also signed G Evan Beerntsen, WR Quentin Skinner, and DB Sha Via @Eagles on X

What happened: Alongside the active-roster move, Philadelphia signed guard Evan Beerntsen, wide receiver Quentin Skinner, and defensive back Shaun Wade to the practice squad on Wednesday. Blue moves up to the 53-man roster six days after joining the Eagles' practice squad on Oct. 22, while Pierce heads to injured reserve three weeks after signing with the club on Oct. 7.

Why it matters: Pierce sustained an undisclosed injury on Monday and missed the final two possessions for Philadelphia. Blue steps into the backfield after Dallas selected him in the fifth round (149th overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Texas, while Beerntsen—a 2026 seventh-round pick (253rd overall) by Baltimore out of Northwestern who signed with Seattle on Sept. 14—joins Skinner and Wade in bolstering practice-squad depth.

By the numbers: Philadelphia holds a 2-5 record in 2026 and sits 15th in the NFC on a five-game losing streak following Monday's 38-21 defeat against Dallas.

What to watch: Blue joins the active backfield rotation immediately while Beerntsen, Skinner, and Wade become eligible for game-day elevations from the practice squad.
