After being released by the Washington Football Team, Caleb Wilson has been claimed off waivers by the Philadelphia Eagles.

On Monday, the Washington Football Team made the necessary move to trim their 90-man roster down to 80 with training camp beginning in earnest. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, teams were permitted to have only 80 players in the facility at one time, so many teams elected to make their cuts earlier than the mid-August deadline to do that.
