The Philadelphia Eagles waive former cornerback Jakorian Bennett, ending the trade that brought him from the Las Vegas Raiders last summer. Bennett, a 2023 fourth‑round pick, spent 2026 on injured reserve and logged just 98 defensive snaps last season and 58 in 2025. The move clears a roster spot as the Eagles still need corner help, with veteran Jonathan Jones now injured and rookie Riq Woolen eyeing more snaps.

The rankings highlight health, recent wins over the Rams, Broncos and Seahawks, and upcoming matchups with the Raiders, Cowboys, Vikings and Seahawks.
