Steele cut from Eagles' 53-man roster despite strong preseason receiving stats.

Carson Steele is being cut from the Philadelphia Eagles' initial 53-man roster despite a strong preseason receiving performance (14 receptions, 136 yards, 2 touchdowns). The source notes Steele's rushing production was weak at 59 yards on 21 carries (2.8 average) over three preseason games, and his lack of prior NFL traction—having spent the entire 2025 season on the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad—made the cut unsurprising. The source expects Steele to clear waivers and return to the Eagles' practice squad.
