Report: Eagles waive seventh-round safety Cole Wisniewski
The Eagles waived seventh-round safety Cole Wisniewski and plan to add him to the practice squad if he clears waivers.
The Philadelphia Eagles have waived rookie safety Cole Wisniewski, as they continue to trim their roster ahead of the NFL deadline. The move eliminates one of the team’s eight 2026 draft choices from contention for the initial 53-man roster. Wisniewski, who was selected by the Eagles with the 244th overall pick in the seventh round after his college career at Texas Tech, had limited opportunities to compete for an active roster position due to injuries.
He missed most of training camp and the preseason opener with a hamstring injury, and a concussion further hampered his progress during the preseason finale against Cincinnati. Despite his size, physicality, and potential value on special teams, the Eagles decided against using an initial roster spot on him due to his extensive absence.
If Wisniewski is not claimed by another team on waivers, he could still be developed on the practice squad, providing the Eagles with flexibility in their 53-man roster.
