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.

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.
