The Philadelphia Eagles placed protections on the following four practice squad players to ensure that they can’t be poached away ahead of their Week 16 game against the Dallas Cowboys: running back Jordan Howard, tight end Caleb Wilson, offensive tackle Prince Tega Wanogho, and linebacker Rashad Smith.
JORDAN HOWARD
The Eagles don’t need to elevate a fifth running back to the roster with Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Corey Clement, and Jason Huntley all presumably healthy. This protection is more about making sure no one poaches Howard.
PRINCE TEGA WANOGHO
Jordan Mailata, Matt Pryor, and Brett Toth are the only tackles on the 53-man roster.
