ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Philadelphia Eagles have signed running back Elijah Mitchell to their practice squad while waiving Jaydon Blue and waiving/injured Carson Steele.

Mitchell returns to Philadelphia after being released during training camp. With Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley on injured reserve, he provides depth behind Saquon Barkley and Dameon Pierce. Barkley has returned to practice and is expected to play Monday, though trade speculation surrounding him ahead of the November 10 deadline could create an opportunity for Mitchell. Fantasy managers in deeper and dynasty formats should monitor his practice squad elevations, though he hasn’t appeared in an NFL game since the 2023 season.
