What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles signed running back Elijah Mitchell, the team announced. The move fills the 90-man roster spot that opened when Philadelphia traded a wide receiver.

Why it matters: The signing adds offseason depth to the Eagles' backfield as the roster takes shape ahead of the 2026 season. Depth additions at running back give the coaching staff more options to evaluate through the spring and into training camp.

What to watch: Watch whether Mitchell carves out a role in the Eagles' backfield rotation during training camp and the preseason as Philadelphia trims toward its regular-season roster.
