The Philadelphia Eagles waived/injured undrafted rookie tight finish McCallen Castles on Saturday, in line with an official group announcement.
Castles will revert to the Eagles’ season-ending injured reserve record if he passes by waivers unclaimed. It’s doable he might ultimately be launched from IR with an harm settlement.
This information is clearly fairly unlucky for Castles, who had proven some pass-catching capability early in camp. There was some thought he may be capable of push for the third tight finish spot behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra. Or at the least make his approach onto the observe squad.
Castles received damage throughout a “stay tackling” interval on the Eagles’ public observe at Lincoln Monetary Discipline on Thursday night time. He received hit after making a brief catch.
With Castles gone, the Eagles are down to 5 tight ends: Goedert, Calcaterra, C.J. Uzomah, Albert Okwuegbunam, and E.J. Jenkins. It’s doable they’ll add one other physique at that spot. Noah Togiai, who final received lower by the Eagles in Might, is notably nonetheless out there to signal.
