The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced two transactions on Thursday afternoon. An overview:
- P Braden Mann was signed from the practice squad to the active roster.
- LB Brandon Smith was signed to the practice squad.
Let’s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.
BRADEN MANN
The Eagles had a decision to make on Mann after using the third of his three temporary practice squad elevations in Week 5.
Instead of looking for a new punter, the Eagles decided to fill the roster spot opened with Cam Jurgens being placed on injured reserve by signing Mann to their active roster.
