WR Brandon Hayes has signed and been waived several times over the past few months by the Eagles; brought back again after less than a week off the roster. Hayes could make a good practice squad candidate and someone who can take extra reps as other receivers like DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon come back from injuries of their own.NegativeDepth ChartAug 15, 2026
Undrafted rookie free agent wide receiver Brandon Hayes was waived by the Eagles to make room for linebacker Brandon George. Hayes faced a stacked WR room in Philadelphia and was the first casualty; he originally signed in May, was released in June, re-signed in early August, but could not hold a roster spot. He may bounce on-and-off the roster in coming weeks and could land on the practice squad after final cuts.NegativeRoleAug 11, 2026

Hayes was re-signed to help fill wide receiver reps due to multiple injuries; perhaps shaking off some rust, he dropped a pass from Dalton in drills.NegativeRoleAug 5, 2026
The Philadelphia Eagles re-signed undrafted rookie free agent wide receiver Brandon Hayes to provide receiver depth amid injuries to DeVonta Smith (hamstring), Makai Lemon (hamstring), and Britain Covey (injury unclear). Hayes originally participated in the Eagles' rookie minicamp on a tryout basis in early May before being signed ahead of their first media-attended OTA practice on May 27, then waived on June 6 to make room for the Zion Wilson signing. His re-signing gives the Eagles an extra practice body in training camp with some familiarity of their system to help fill reps.
