The Philadelphia Eagles announced the signing of several undrafted free agents ahead of their rookie training camp this weekend. They added two offensive tackles after placing a veteran on injured reserve before OTA practices start this month.

The Eagles announced they were signing offensive tackle Gottlieb Ayedze, tight end McCallan Castles, offensive tackle Anim Dankwah, defensive tackle Gabe Hall, safety Andre’ Sam, and Laekin Vakalahi. Vakalahi is coming to the Eagles via the international player pathway, so he will not count against the 90-man list for the offseason.
The Eagles emphasized offensive tackle before the Rooke minicamp. That might have been because the Eagles are sending a veteran offensive tackle to the injured reserve. The Eagles hinted something was going on when they signed former first-round pick Mekhi Becton to a deal earlier this week.
Le’Raven Clark is headed to IR

According to the Eagles, Le’Raven Clark is headed to the injured reserve.

Clark spent the 2023 season on the Eagles’ practice squad. He signed a reserve/futures contract with the team in January. It’s unclear what injury prompted the Eagles to place him on injured reserve in May or when the team expects him to be healthy.
The 2016 third-round pick is in his second stint with the Eagles. He played for the Eagles in four games and started in one game during the 2021 season. Clark has played in 64 games and started in 18 for his career.
