What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles placed defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka on the reserve/retired list Tuesday, ending his NFL career before the start of the 2026 season. Tryon-Shoyinka had signed a one-year contract with Philadelphia in March after splitting the previous season between Cleveland and Chicago.

Why it matters: A former first-round pick for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his sudden retirement removes a projected depth piece from the Eagles' defensive rotation. He concludes a five-year career with 15.0 sacks and 45 starts, primarily during his four-year tenure in Tampa Bay.

By the numbers: Career Stats: 82 G, 160 tackles, 15.0 sacks, 2 FF. TB (2021-24): 66 G, 15.0 sacks. 2025: 16 G, 22 tackles, 0 sacks.

What to watch: The Eagles now have an open roster spot to address defensive line depth before training camp begins in late July.
